As the traveler’s lounge, we find it to be our duty to bring to you the best of deals on airports and hotels, but also on good lifestyle when something shows up. Zomato Gold is one such call of duty.

Zomato launched Zomato Gold in India a few months ago, a paid membership program that entitled members to complimentary food and drinks. For food, the offer was one entree free as long as there are two people on a table at a member restaurant, and for drinks, you get two drinks complimentary on ordering two.

At launch, the program offered at 1800 restaurants in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, and Bangalore. They have some lovely marquee names on offer, including casual dining outlets and 5-star restaurants as well.

Given the lucrative nature of the promotion, I passed along in the first round when pricing was just INR 299 for three months and INR 999 for 12 months thinking this is too good to be true. However, in the second round, when the pricing was INR 1299 for 12 months, I did jump on the sale.

Moreover, it already paid me back the price within 15 days of having the membership. See, we eat out a lot. We have been out twice when the membership came handy. Once at the Fatty Bao, and once at Pizza Express. Over these two visits, we saved ourselves over 1300 inclusive of taxes.

Today, another of these memberships are going on sale. If you would like, we could add another month to your package if you used the code THEFOOQF. With this code, you get another extra month in your Zomato Gold, which should make it even cheaper in the pocket. Here is the link to head to Zomato Gold.

To save even more money, you could use an American Express credit card, and you will get a 20% flat discount on your subscription price.

1. Open the  Zomato app and tap the Gold Banner under the “ Dining Out “ section
2. Tap on “Buy Zomato Gold” in the American Express section.
3. Choose the membership plan (3 Months or 12 Months) auto discounted for American Express users.
4. Discount will be applied at the time of making the purchase using American Express Card.

In case you are interested, this sale is already on, and in my experience, sells out quickly. So, if you are looking for some good meals at reasonable pricing, this is your opportunity to get in on this deal.
