Predatory pricing designed to lock you in
MealPal used to be a good app, but recently their model has shifted to being built on you losing track of what meals actually cost. The discounts have shrank significantly (despite being forced to purchase credits up front), their policies credit rollover are obscure, and the real price of a meal is deliberately hard to pin down because of the credit system. If you don’t use all your credits and pause your plan, your prepaid credits vanish. Support’s only offer to fix it was to buy another chunk of credits. This is textbook predatory pricing and vendor lock-in. Stay away.

MealPal changed my office life
MealPal gives me opportunity to check great places with less prices. What can be better? I am going to check their new feature with meals for dinner tonight. And I am excited about it. Reviews are glitching though. This what you need to work on.

Affordable Downtown Lunches!
MP allows me to eat downtown regularly without breaking the bank. The process is easy and the participating places are nice and welcoming.

Idea good but operation Deceitful
1. Unused credits are not rolled ever as promised - you just get charged like a voluntary donation.
2. Pause is very limited and short - if your workplace change or work from home for a while, you still have to pay this “subscription” as they described.
3. App has no option for cancellation at all ( account, subscription, credit card - once your put them in their app, you can only cancel any of this use by contacting their team). This violates consumer rights.

Not many options
Not the best app. Not that many restaurant options to choose from.
