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?

AVOID SIGNING IN. THEY WILL SCAM YOU I signed up for a promotion using my husband's credit card, and everything seemed fine on the first day. However, on the second day when I attempted to redeem the offer, the app stopped working, and they removed the promotion. Instead, they tried to charge me the full amount since my husband was already enrolled. To make matters worse, when I decided to cancel the subscription, they not only charged a cancellation fee but also billed me for the food I hadn't even received. The restaurant food portions are disappointingly small compared to the full price. I strongly recommend against signing up for this promotion, as it's not worth the trouble and expense

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!

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!!

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.
