BEWARE OF SCAM I loved the experience at first, but the company does not make it clear that you have to pay for another month of meals in order to access credits you have already paid for. For example, I paid for a month of credits (72) and at the end of the month I still had 42 credits left. When I tried to use these credits I was told that I cannot access them unless I pay for another month. When I asked if I could just cancel my account but use my credits that I had already paid for, the customer service team was very rude to me. A little kindness and empathy goes a long way and Meal Pal does not offer that. To me this feels very scammy because I essentially paid for meals that I can no longer get. It is a scam to advertise this company as a more affordable option when they force you to pay more money to access credits that you have already paid for. Don't make my mistake!!!!!!!!

SCAM As you can tell from a quick google search this is a great concept with poor execution. Their customer service is so bad that you are guaranteed to get scammed one way or another. They play all kinds of games to make money. Wether its renewing you into a more expensive plan without any notice or refusing to give refunds for meals that you couldn't pick up because the restaurant was closed- one way or another you will get scammed. Avoid!!

I got scammed too I got scammed too. Mealpal used the pandemic to their advantage. In true scumbag exploitative fashion, in moment of crisis, they decide to deactivate and wipe out unused meals and plans, and charge for new plan, without any advance notice! When I wrote them to ask about it, they said it's in the terms and conditions. Way to go Mealpal. Send endless promotional emails to get new business when times are good, but secretly deactivate plans when times are bad. Couldn't even send one warning email to customers to spend down or cancel plan to avoid losing meals or undue charges. Disgusting!

Pictures say 1000 words I very much enjoy the concept and theory. It exposes a clientele to a list of vendors they may not have considered due to the curated nature of the meal. However, pictures should be submitted day of or the exact image of the food that is being picked up. Portions need to be realistic as we know this is slightly discounted but if a person has to buy more food it costs more overall. All in all, love the product and platform and east just want the pick up to represent the picture accurately.

Great option for the city If you're willing to have limited options but good ones, it's a great economical way to do lunch in NYC. It's hard to cook and bring food in this city when you're working long hours so this is consistently a great way to keep me from spending too much on meals.
