KFC (VIC, TAS, ACT) exclusive partnership discount pricing for Entertainment digital membership, previously known as the Entertainment Book.

Stacks with the bonus $10/$20 Wish or JB Hi-Fi gift card.

While it may be app only now (no voucher swaps), I'm sure you could find $45+ value in it (only need to dine out more than once and you'd make that back).

Mod note: Users reported problems activating their digital memberships for WA and Sydney. Presumably this problem occurs only for the 1-year single city memberships.

    Check out the reviews for their recent app update. Everyone hates it and with good reason. Their Android score is now 1.1*.

    • spackbace on 10/03/2021 - 18:17

      Oh I'd agree, it's far from brilliant, however it's still usable

        Barely usable. You have to use map view to find anything.

          But then when you tap a place on the map you can’t see the offer?

          • samfisher5986 on 10/03/2021 - 19:02

            @AaronR: You can, its very time consuming pressing every single icon to see what the offer/restaurant is, instead of just scrolling like you could before.

            @AaronR: There's also no way to hide offers anymore.

            Previously you could hide redeemed offers. Now redeemed offers still appear, which means in any busy place, your screen is spammed by mcdonalds offers and for a shopping center, it becomes annoying to click other offers.

    • chrism238 on 10/03/2021 - 19:16

      Well, there's always the iOS app :-)

    • ExtremeDavo on 10/03/2021 - 19:22

      You can still install and use the old app as of today. I just keep a copy of the latest apk, so it still works until they decide to make some changes on their server to cut out the old version completely. Alternatively the NZ version works with AU accounts too.
      The most important change of the new app is now you have to be online in order to redeem a voucher. No data = no deal.

      • ExtremeDavo on 11/03/2021 - 08:19

        Yeah they've probably cottoned onto that.. you could "redeem" the voucher and reuse several times.

      • cykezero on 11/03/2021 - 15:05

        I thought you always had to be online to redeem? I remember once not having reception and not being able to bring up the voucher or maybe that was when I went to Android 10 and the app stopped working.

    • itsfree on 11/03/2021 - 23:58

      I was able to find a copy of the old APK and install that. Works like a charm.

  • PreSsieGuY on 10/03/2021 - 18:21

    The app is so bad at the moment. Won't even start for me. I has to use a workaround which is to install it under ssug secure folder to get it launched.

    • alwayscheaper on 10/03/2021 - 20:47

      Download the entertainment book app, you can search for offers without an active membership (so cannot redeem)

      • JHoliday on 10/03/2021 - 21:45

        The old app you could, not sure about the new one?

    • danyool on 10/03/2021 - 23:46

      You can search online - 25% off at Taronga
      https://www.entertainment.com.au/merchant-profile/26e71380-0…

      If you think you might go a couple of times, you might want to consider getting an Annual Pass (direct, no Entertainment Book deal) - but pretty good. Kids under 4 are free anyhow, and you can add 2 kids 4-15 per pass.

      We got one named pass and one guest pass which you can let anyone use (you have to get one named pass, and can only get max 2 guest passes) - which was good could let Grandma go, or take friends in (one at a time!)

      I just ordered and the confirmation email says "Please note, if activated within the first 90 days, your Membership is valid for 12 months from the activation date. After the first 90 days, your Membership will automatically be assigned an expiry date 15 months from the purchase date."

      • The Hobo on 10/03/2021 - 21:08

        So if your existing expires in 3 months or less, it's a buy.. Mine doesn't expire till August, so no buy?

    Can somebody confirm the following.

    Does the 2 year single city membership allow you to use each "voucher" once in the 1st year and then again in the second year.

    Or just it just provide 2 years of access, with only 1 usage per voucher.

    • Benjamin7711 on 11/03/2021 - 19:00

      The offers renew after the first year to be used again the second year

  • saintmagician0 on 10/03/2021 - 21:29

    I have been buying the entertainment book for years and years, originally the physical book and then the app version.

    I would not recommend anyone buy it now. You'd be hard pressed to even get your $45 of value back, unless you really like BOGOF McDonalds deals and you are willing to waste petrol driving around for them.

    The first problem is that since COVID hit, so many places have dropped off the EB program. This isn't EB's fault, COVID sucked for businesses sure. However, it does mean unless you live near a city center, you have a LOT less offers near you than in previous years. This is especially true for non food offers (e.g. there used to be a LOT more offers for things like car wash, beauty treatments, massages, dry cleaning etc. Now there are a lot fewer so it's a lot less likely you will have any in your local area).

    In addition to places dropping off the EB program, there are restaurants now that just flat out refuse to accept it. This happened a lot more in Melbourne when Melbourne was first opening up (post lockdown), but it still does happen. I've emailed EB about it several times with receipts and a suggestion that they remove non-complaint businesses, but EB support staff always reply with the stock standard "we're very sorry, let us restore 1 offer for you". They also suggest that you tell restaurants before you sit down that you want to use an EB voucher. I don't like this at all because one of the benefits of the EB program was always that you didn't need to tell businesses before hand.

    The second problem is the new app, it is so horrible.
    - Offers are now for individual stores. For example, instead of 3 crust vouchers that you can use on any crust you want (e.g. your local crust), there is now 1 crust voucher for each individual crust store. So chances are, you will only get 1 voucher unless you want to drive around.
    - The filters are incredibly un-intuitive. Previously, all food places fell into one of four categories: contemporary, cafe, casual, or take away. Now, some food places only appear whne you select a specific filter. e.g. the "Seafood" filter shows a grand total of 3 places in the entire melbourne book, and two of those places do not appear under any of the previously mentioned four categories.
    - The BIGGEST problem, there is no way to hide offers. Previously you could hide redeemed offers. Now, the 'take away' and "casual" categories are next to useless because there is no way to hide offers from the big chains like McDonalds, Subway, etc. You can pan around the map, but you will see so many icons and you have to click each one to see whether or not it's a "One standard hot beverage" offer which appears for every single McDonalds store. Often icons will be stacked on each other and clicking is incredibly fustrating.

    Oh, and when the app upgraded, you lost all of your old favourites.

    • lgacb08 on 10/03/2021 - 22:10

      true, can't believe that in this time of pandemic people still got sucked into buying these, I still have restaurant voucher and flight vouchers that I've yet find way to use them.

    • Ryder08 on 10/03/2021 - 22:47

      I used it plenty since March last year and easily got my value worth. As an estimate I would say I saved at least $300, probably more. I used it at least once a week. Perhaps it's different in WA since we haven't been as badly affected by COVID as other states, but not once was the voucher knocked back.

      I agree about the app being worse but like someone else said it's still usable.

    • knasty on 11/03/2021 - 07:59

      I agree it's not as good, but I still got my annual fee back in one weekend away when used wisely across accommodation, restaurant and theme park. The rest is upside now…

    • sillyhead on 11/03/2021 - 08:04

      Agreed this was a good thing until COVID hit. Now even if a have a voucher I feel bad using it at a restaurant or small business since COVID. Some business have been better off but some have been doing it tough. Just not enough opportunities to use it and also the value and practicality of the offers has dwindled in the past couple of years.

    • Zenyatta on 11/03/2021 - 08:52

      I would agree with the programme being crap value now. Most of the good offers we used in years past have dropped off altogether or gone from BOGOF to 25% off. Our current membership will be our last one. We won’t buy it again.

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 11/03/2021 - 09:52

      Always was intrigued by the offers and the Gift card portal rates that they have. Guess ill stay clear of it now.

    • samfisher5986 on 11/03/2021 - 11:46

      I agree with everything but I still think its very easy to get the value of the book back, at least in Brisbane.

      Also there is no excuse not to accept a digital edition voucher as you can remove yourself from it, but I think after things opened back up after covid you have to give them some slack, restaurants can easily forget to cancel the vouchers and considering they were bleeding money for so long while closed, its rude to use it just after opening.

      At this point there is no excuse not to accept a voucher.

    Given how horrible the recent app update is, that businesses were given no warning so often refuse the vouchers, and as well how poor their customer service was when I tried to get support about app issues before the update, I don’t see this as a bargain. Would caution anyone from getting this, and don’t expect any chance of a refund if you’re not happy with the app experience or can’t redeem offers, they just stop replying and unfortunately app usability isn’t something the office of fair trading will do anything about.

    • samfisher5986 on 11/03/2021 - 11:46

    This company is rubbish - didn't even offer to extend memberships of existing customers by a few months when basically the whole world shut down. Just kept saying 'we are working on an update' for months and started censoring any social media comments criticising the company etc. Then when the new 'post lockdown' version came out they included restaurants/companies in their discounts without asking them which led to multiple people having their vouchers rejected. It felt like they had maybe 2 staff members running the show…..avoid, avoid, avoid.

    I used to buy the Entertainment Book every year (often two copies), however Entertainment is now terrible. The app is awful, and many of the good offers now no longer exist. I've also had too many offers not accepted by the Vendor. After contacting Entertainment about the rejected offers, Entertainment do nothing other than state that the vendor is supposed to honour the voucher.

    Not buying these anymore.

    • samfisher5986 on 11/03/2021 - 11:37

      Were you using the digital edition?

      The vender rejecting a voucher is completely stupid because a quick call to Entertainment Book can have them removed from everyone's digital edition.

      • changa on 11/03/2021 - 13:08

        It was the digital edition. I was using the voucher at a restaurant for dinner so was not really in a position to call them. They gave me some lame excuse because we ordered the special set meal, they didn't have to honour the 25% off voucher.

        • samfisher5986 on 11/03/2021 - 13:13

          Did the voucher have terms or did the 25% voucher specify what the discount was on? for example main meals.

          Just curious because I've never had an issue.

          • changa on 15/03/2021 - 08:44

            @samfisher5986: There were no special terms and conditions. Entertainment said that they should have accepted the voucher, but they didn't.
