Review from a Long-Time User As someone who's used MealPal for several years, I've seen a change in value. Previously, lunch options often came under $7, making it a budget-friendly choice. However, they have introduced a complex credits-based scheme with hidden expiry terms. The savings are negligible once you factor in the deceptive tactics. When I did the math, I would have been better off purchasing lunch directly from the restaurants. Alternatively, seek out individual restaurant loyalty programs and opt in to their loyalty benefits instead. There is no risk, and you'll save more.

MP is a five star service, credit system not so much MealPal is a five star idea and service. However, I took off one star only because the new credits system is less favorable than the old system. It requires some juggling of the numbers to make sure there are enough credits to last the whole cycle, whereas it was a no brainer before. Perhaps consider switching back?

MealPal is a fantastic way to save money on a necessary expense MealPal is a fantastic way to save on a huge monthly expense: lunch. I work in New York City, where it's easy to spend $12-15/day on a salad. By signing up for MealPal, I was able to cut my per meal expenses in half. And with such a wide variety of participating restaurants nearby, I haven't had to sacrifice on healthiness, portion size, or variety. I highly recommend!

Scam Service is quite bad, less and less restaurants participate and customer service is bad. They also cancel all your unused meals you technically paid for as soon as you skip or cancel one cycle of subscription. Wouldn't make any exceptions even for a long term customer. I do not recommend.

Awful service Awful service, no customer response at all. Have to pay to even see what they have, and be warned - they'll rob you of your meals if you don't keep subscribing. It's also extortionately overpriced - restaurants have a "mealpal" special, which is basically a bare-bones, skimpy version of anything they'd normally sell. The only exception is Patty & Bun, who offer a decent lunch, so if you're happy to eat burger & chips every day it's probably just about worth it. Though still more expensive than a daily McDonalds.
