GBMP 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?

GBAwful 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.

GBI 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!

GBGood value and quick but not all restaurants are good Very good value and quick to get food. But some places give tiny portions and there isn't any ratings on the site for restaurants or meals, despite giving feedback on each meal eaten I tend to go to the same 3 or 4 places most of the time. Restaurants tend to rotate meals most days but do not really change what's on offer over any extended period so it can get boring But overall the value and time saved in line makes it very worthwhile

GBGreat 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.
