Our Verdict

Turns out to be around $153 + tax in order to be eligible for the $50 bonus. Not worth doing for the bonus alone but could be a nice opportunity to try out the service.

After deducting the $50 Visa e-gift card, you’ll end up pay around $103 + tax for 24 meals which is pretty good, though a bit of an commitment for trying out a new service. If you see some good restaurant options near you, I guess there isn’t much risk, but I don’t have personal experience with the service.
