    I'm surprised that no-one's mentioned the cancellation clause:
    Cancellation of Membership. You may terminate your membership at any time with 7 days’ notice by emailing [email protected]. Following any cancellation you will continue to have access to your membership through the end of the then current Membership Cycle and must, prior to the end of the then current Membership Cycle, pay us any amounts owing.

    Anyway, I hope it works out for everyone - and you're not just gouged with additional fees.

    • render on 14/06/2018 - 10:38

      Thanks! MealPal are horrible when it comes to T&Cs and cancellations.
      Looks like this is message coming up for some people - emailed them and they cancelled it for me within a few hours.

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 14/06/2018 - 10:59

      Even though I cancelled online immediately I also sent an email with only 6 days notice. They have confirmed the cancellation so I at least have something in writing…

  • CyberMurning on 12/06/2018 - 11:57

      Did you use the link above? It should redirect to https://mealpal.com/1yeardownunder/ - the pricing is shown after you insert your email but before you insert payment details.

      It should come up as the first thing you get after you setup an email+password, if not try again (didn't get it the first time either :/)

  • givemethebestdeals on 12/06/2018 - 12:11

    can I sign up then cancel right away? or do I cancel after I have ordered 5 meals

    • Jaduqimon on 12/06/2018 - 12:13

      u can cancel straight away. i just did it and ordered my first meal.

      • ilovefullprice on 12/06/2018 - 12:51

        If you cancel straight away after the 1st order, would you lose the remaining 4 meals?

        • djsydney on 12/06/2018 - 13:24

          I just ordered and then cancelled. I still have the rest of the meals.

        • ilovefullprice on 12/06/2018 - 14:56

          My Account > Change plan for next cycle > Hold or cancel my account > Cancel account > Cancel anyway

        • CyberMurning on 13/06/2018 - 07:20

    FYI

    You are currently on the 5 MEAL LUNCH PLAN.
    You have 5 MORE MEALS left in your cycle that ends 19 JUN 2018

    • Qmar on 12/06/2018 - 12:41

      So you have 5 business days left to order 5 more meals?

      • star-ggg on 12/06/2018 - 12:48

        Yes, then from 20 Jun they put you on the normal plan (unless you cancel before then)

    • Jaduqimon on 12/06/2018 - 13:15

      really? i just ordered two and it worked some how

    • SydOzber on 15/06/2018 - 01:28

      can we order only 1 per day or more?
      also, should it be consecutive days or can i skip few days in between ?

  • M1lad on 12/06/2018 - 13:14

    5 meals usage period appears to start tomorrow and finish mid next week so to make the most of all 5 meals, u goto order every day for this period. Note u can only order 1 meal per day - source: existing customer :)

    • akte on 12/06/2018 - 13:18

      seems to be available even today for me. Just that selection will be limited for today.

        Pretty sure u have to place your order by 9:30am if u want to make an order for each day so doubt u can still order for today?

          I really did just ordered, I was surprised too.
          Belle's chicken seems to be off the list, I'm a bit disappointed. I used to order this during my first mealpal subscription.

        • alebox on 12/06/2018 - 13:50

          @akte:

          Belles has been gone for ages

        • akte on 12/06/2018 - 14:37

          @alebox: Yeah, after I cancelled the first subscription, I haven't been back for a long long time. They are really good chicken….

        • alebox on 12/06/2018 - 15:55
          +2

          @akte:

          I found they've really gone downhill. I went there last week and found the chicken had no flavour and had no crunch and the coating had no flavour. Only taste was salty. I reckon they were really good when they were just a pop up.

          There a are a number of korean fried chickens but I would recommend Sparrows Mill on Liverpool St as the best one.

        • milfey on 12/06/2018 - 16:42

          @alebox: Agreed. When they first opened up their pop-up, the size of each chicken piece was larger as well.

        • akte on 13/06/2018 - 09:24

          @alebox: Thanks, will definitely try those out!

    • CyberMurning on 12/06/2018 - 13:22

      ok good will join today and start ordering tomorrow hopefully can use full 5x (ie last day next week tuesday)

    • star-ggg on 12/06/2018 - 13:30

      have you tried ordering 2 meals from different places on same day before? Looking at these selections, one meal isn't enough for me

      • alebox on 12/06/2018 - 13:51
        +1

        you can't. you can only order 1 meal per day. some meals are bigger than others

    Shame the meals end at 1.45 pm. I threw away my first meal thinking I could fly there in time (before realising my superhuman abilities are in my mind).

    Shame it's only the CBD in Sydney. Shame I spent a dollar before researching what I'm buying. Shame on me.

  • ChatCPT on 12/06/2018 - 14:04

    thanks OP 1 week of lunch for $1 you saved me ~$50!

  • itslittfam on 12/06/2018 - 14:32

    Surprised this didn't go onto the main page, 5 meals for $1! (as long as you cancel). you just cannot go wrong at that price

        • ChatCPT on 12/06/2018 - 22:08

          @alebox: only one place or two. It’s still $10 a meal there. Not exactly cheap

      • chocfrogs456 on 12/06/2018 - 21:34

        do you know if this allows you to cancel before the 30 day plan? seems unclear in the ts and cs

        • render on 13/06/2018 - 10:45

          It says "Cancel anytime" in the email. When I tried to cancel on the website it said you had to give 7 days notice. Emailed them and they cancelled it for me.

  • noodle23 on 14/06/2018 - 11:31

    When I was trying to cancel the plan they offered me a flexible 12 meal plan which does not expire, I will be only charged once I have had all 12 meals, I thought it is pretty good deal, it works out to be just over $8 something for a meal without monthly commitment.

    • CyberMurning on 14/06/2018 - 11:39

      8 is pretty good but i wish we can order from the restaurant normal menu, not just 1-2 specially made for mealpal customers. some people complained that restaurant made those slightly smaller (not sure why maybe because their profit is less when customer order via mealpal).

      if they can guarantee we get the same treatment or portion like other normal customers, i will get that plan

      • noodle23 on 14/06/2018 - 13:31

        I agree, just picked up today's lunch and it is much smaller than the photo! Will see how it goes once I've tried all 5 different restaurants, the meal I had yesterday was pretty large. Not sure how much mealpal pay them for each meal, don't think they earn much profit through mealpal, maybe great for new restaurants who need customers.

        • CyberMurning on 19/06/2018 - 10:57

          yes, just same like groupon, they will treat differently just like 2nd class citizen

  • SydOzber on 15/06/2018 - 01:20

    @ Any Melbourne users, what restaurants and dishes have you enjoyed previously?

    • SydOzber on 16/06/2018 - 13:12

      my bad.. didnt realise need to register to get this deal.

      hopefully it will last till tomorrow.. as am planning to sign up tomorrow to make max use on all 5 working days.

      • peterpeterpumpkin on 17/06/2018 - 21:28

        On concreteplayground it said the expiry date is midnight June 18 but Mealpal says it expires at midnight tonight (which could technically mean the same second but it's hella confusing).

    • humptygotup on 19/06/2018 - 15:14

      Hey, joined for this $1 promo, been to Mason & Dixon, and Charlie & Co.
      Sauce on M&D nice, the meat in C&Co burger was supreme. I am no foodie but it is a decent cut of meat, or some fancy pants restaurant trick. I think the C&Co deal was awesome, and would recommend it!
      I am going to go out on a limb and say I reckon Mealpal makes it's money by either paying the restaurants a portion of menu price, or relies on days missed by users, or both!
      Anyway, I like the deal, but living out of CBD and having to come in twice so far just to try the deal is already a hassle. If you are in CBD M-F I think it would work well, so as long as menu is larger!
      Thanks to M&D and C&Co so far, have enjoyed.

  • ChatCPT on 19/06/2018 - 10:10

    I signed up on 21 March on the 12 meal plan - and so have completed 3 cycles of the plan now - but still have not received the gift card!

    Can anyone confirm how long it took for them to receive the gift card, or did they even send the gift card out at all?

    Is the gift card promotion a lie just to get people to sign up?

      WAIT-A-MELON
      Please note that if you choose to come back to MealPal, a $19 reactivation fee may apply.

      who cares. they think people will pay 19 to get back their account, dreaming!@#$@%#$
