To reward our awesome foodie community, every booking with TheFork accumulates unique Yums points, which can be redeemed in the form of a tasty discount at one of our many partner restaurants down the line. Here’s how it works: 1 reservation = 100 Yums (Y) Once you've accumulated enough you can enjoy amazing offers which converts to: 1,000 Y = €10 / CHF15 / AUD$20 / £20 loyalty discount! 2,000 Y = €25 / CHF35 / AUD$50 / £50 loyalty discount! Keep an eye out for double Yums and other ways to earn more Yums as you book. We love hearing from our TheFork foodie community! Reach out at contact@thefork.com.
