I signed up to mealpal when this deal was on https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/384125

Personally I don't see it as good value when charged full price ($8 per meal for 12 meals which I have 30 days to use), while it's cheap for the food on offer you lose a lot of flexibility, you cant eat what you want when you want.

So after signing up to the above deal, i immediately cancelled to stop it autorenewing. Just before the last day in the period, they send me a $20 off code. The codes they send are generally only valid until the end of the day, to pressure you into signing up. I decided i wasn't interested, but a few days later I signed up to an offer they sent through for meals at $5.49 (31% discount). I again immediately cancelled to prevent autorenewing. This process repeated after the month, and now i am in the middle of my second month.

A colleague of mine signed up last month at full price, and was offered a 40% discount on the second month

What discounts are the ozbargain community getting? If I hold off longer when they offer me meals at $5.49 will I get the 40% discount?

tl;dr - what is the best discount people are getting for mealpal renewal

  I created an account on Mealpal but didn't order anything. 3 days later I received a $40 off voucher for 12 meals in 30 days.

  I haven't seen any discounts / codes greater than those already mentioned.

  Re the flexibility etc., I don't have a problem with the offering. Get to work, browse nearby offerings (probably 30+ within a two block radius), choose one and then just pick it up at lunch time. It's just a routine now.

    I'd definitely recommend cancelling to get the discounts

    Scroll down

    If you're outside the CBD there's probably not much around

  Once we cancel the account and if we decide to rejoin can we still use the offers or is it just for first time users?

    It's really ad hoc, they'll offer you discounts directly if you're not signed up

  So I discontinued my mealpal for about a month, they've been spamming me 40% off vouchers, today they sent through a $50 off deal that i've signed up to, that's my best so far, can't complain $3.80 a meal

  Edit - also, i don't see how this business model is sustainable, so i'm assuming they'll go under at some point and i'll lose a bunch of pre-purchased meals.

  Was just offered $100 Coles gift card for signing up for 2 months, making it about $5/meal.

  Best offer I've had so far today - buy one month get one free, no messing around with cashback, but still running the risk they'll be insolvent in a month

  Are there any promos around currently?

    I think the best way to get a promo is to sign up for an account, but don't buy anything. after a few days they'll send you a discount code
