What Is ME Card and How Does It Work?

At ME Card, our mission is simple – to support local businesses while helping people across the ME postcode save money. We believe that shopping, eating, and enjoying life locally should be rewarding, both for customers and for the brilliant independent businesses that make our towns and villages thrive.

When you join ME Card, you’re not just signing up for a discount card – you’re joining a movement that keeps money in our community and gives you access to the very best local deals and offers near you. From Rochester and Chatham to Maidstone, Sittingbourne, and Sheppey, every café, restaurant, salon, or family activity listed with ME Card has chosen to be part of this journey.

How We Choose Our Local Deals

We often get asked how the discounts and offers on ME Card are chosen. The answer is simple: every business sets their own deal. We don’t pressure them into giving away something that isn’t sustainable. Instead, we work with each partner to find an offer that benefits both sides – customers enjoy money-saving offers, and businesses attract new faces through their doors.

That’s why you’ll see a wide variety of local offers across places like Gillingham, Strood, Faversham, and Medway – from percentage discounts to free add-ons, seasonal promotions, and exclusive savings. It’s all about balance: rewarding you while protecting the value of what each independent business offers.

How ME Card Works for You

Using ME Card is easy, but the way you redeem your discount will vary depending on the business. Here are the main ways to claim your savings:

  • Show your ME Card to a member of staff on arrival to redeem your discount.

  • State you have an ME Card when booking (and be ready to show it on arrival).

  • Enter your discount code at checkout when buying online.

  • Call the business and mention you have an ME Card – you will be asked to show it when you arrive.

Every offer has its own terms and conditions, which are clearly explained in the listing. Before using your ME Card, always check these details so you know exactly how to redeem your discount – whether that’s online, in-store, or over the phone.

Why It Matters

We take ME Card very seriously. It’s important to us that businesses deliver on the local deals they’ve agreed to. If you ever find that a discount isn’t being honoured, contact us straight away. We’ll work with the business to put it right and make sure you always get the savings you signed up for.

ME Card is about more than discounts – it’s about building a community where local shops, restaurants, and services in Rochester, Chatham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Strood, Gillingham, Faversham, Medway, and the Isle of Sheppey thrive, and customers feel rewarded. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, booking a haircut, or planning a family day out, ME Card makes supporting local easier, fairer, and more rewarding than ever.
