For the folks in Sydney.

$25 for 25 years membership, expires 06/2048 not a typo. Recently changed, when I signed up it was $20 for 4 years.

You get a free voucher for lunch (Mon to Fri) or dinner (Mon to Thurs), worth $23.80 and $34.80 respectively, on the month of your birthday at the all you can eat Star Buffet. There are other birthday deals at Bankstown RSL, but this is the highlight deal.

To redeem on the month of your birthday, swipe your member card at the machines opposite the lift that takes you to the buffet (not the carpark) on the ground floor, it's just past reception. Select free birthday meal at star buffet. Collect printed voucher. Show buffet staff your member card and voucher. Enjoy your meal.

You get your money back in the first year of membership. Dinner is a better use of the voucher but lunch is still worth it. Then for the next 24 years you get a free lunch or dinner on the month of your birthday.

Food choices. Dinner has more choices than lunch including seafood eg prawns. Lunch has yumcha, sushi dishes, desserts, fruit, Chinese bbq, congee, soups, fried foods, salads, Asian dishes, roasted veggies and meat, ice cream. Pay extra for soft drink or just drink water, it's free and filtered. Unless you want the ambience of a yumcha or sushi restaurant, this is way better bang for your buck. Seating is good, not crowded and clean. Everytime I've been over the 10 years the foods been fresh and tasty.

Transport: can park onsite but you cannot leave the RSL club without your car. Otherwise you can park at Marion St carpark which is opposite. Lots of buses and the train is nearby

I think they need some form of ID for new signups so don't do the 'my birthday is tomorrow/next month' unless you got ID to prove it.

There is no judgement if you go by yourself, I see heaps of people by themselves eating. It's a good feed, especially when it's free.

Enjoy responsibly, only take what you can eat and eat to a healthy limit. No takeaway. No, I don't work for the RSL or the buffet, just appreciate their service.

                  @Price Hike: And there we have it. The racist shows without doubt. It was obvious to me, at least now it's obvious to everyone else.

                  @Price Hike: If we're going to bring politics into Ozbargain, let me say this, Hamas should be eliminated as they are a terrorist organisation, but it's Israel committing textbook genocide as well as being a terrorist state.

                  Bombing civilian targets is both a warcrime and an act of terrorism. The idea that you can just bomb a bunch of civilians just because there might be a Hamas member hiding among them is ridiculous. The death toll of innocent Palestinians has far exceeded the death toll of Isreali civilians, it is not a proportional response.

                  Posters should never be torn down, as the hostages deserve to be freed, but suddenly bringing up a political topic when it's just a RSL deal is not a good look.

                    This is a bargain site. Not a propaganda site for either side.

                    @Price Hike, if you really are passionate about this, go protest, don't hide behind a keyboard.

      The layout is changed slightly to be a bit more spacious. The selection is mostly still the same including the chinese bbq, sushi train and ice cream machine. I don't remember if they had this before renovation but there is a chocolate fountain.

        • aka nioh on 04/11/2023 - 07:35

          Which one would you recommend in Cabramatta? Hows pho Viet? I had the most awesome pho in cairns and the store was also called pho viet

          • SmiTTy on 04/11/2023 - 13:13

            @aka nioh: Pho tau bau is my fav in cabra. I used to go there as a kid and it's still going strong

            If you want a different type of pho, go to 2foodies at mount Pritchard. Broth here is not clear like other places but jam packed with flavour

          Not sure, when I signed up 10 yrs ago it was only in person. It's pretty quick, about 5 mins in person (if you fill the form quickly) and they give you the member card straightaway

    Transport: can park onsite but you cannot leave the RSL club without your car.

    What does this mean?

    • aka nioh on 03/11/2023 - 15:55

      Park in the underground or upstairs parking. Only way to exit carpark is to take the lift which enters reception. If you leave the building (only 1 exit) staff will ask you to take your car with you. Fair is fair, plenty of parking around bankstown

        i wouldn’t say plenty of parking around bankstown , it honestly depends on the day and time you need parking …everytime i go to aldi at lunchtime i can’t even find a spot to park cos everyone parks in aldi for free and unlimited hours , they need to install boom gates again

    If not you reckon this will expire before end of next week?

    • aka nioh on 03/11/2023 - 16:55

      I was trying to renew my membership with this offer but was unable to as it still has 2 years left on it. The receptionist said the membership fees recently changed and should be here to stay, so in 2 years time hopefully I'll still get the deal. If not $20 for 4 years (what I paid last time) is still good enough for me

      • ATTS on 03/11/2023 - 17:02

        • Coastie on 05/11/2023 - 06:44

          They are confident that people will come in for a cheap feed and then lose a lot more money on the pokies

        • TrustNoBody on 05/11/2023 - 07:59

          it definitely would say in the terms n conditions …they may keep it for a few years but i can’t see 25 years unless that food business has a 25 year lease

    From memory if you're a member of 1 RSL you can get into any RSL without becoming a member, right?

    So if you live in the area for an RSL that forces you to get membership you can save on membership by getting this? Or have things changed?

      From OP's link:

      A visitor can enter a club that allows temporary membership if they:
      - live more than 10 km away from the club or other distance a club has set are a member of another club of an RSL or Bankstown Sports Club.

      Pretty sure these are the rules of all RSL clubs, otherwise should be available to check on their site.
