Right now there is a promotion where you can get a $50 Amazon gift card when you refer a friend to use MealPal, and your friend will also get a $50 Amazon gift card. It works out to 24 lunches in a 2 month period for $5.83 each after tax ($5.16 before tax).
Details: if you sign up with a referral code, you will be paying $7/meal x 12 meals x 1.13 tax = $94.92 if you sign up for the 12 meal plan. You have to pay for 2 months which is 24 meals. Since you will get a $50 Amazon gift card (almost as liquid as cash), your effective cost is essentially $189.84 - $50 = $139.84 / 24 = $5.83 per meal AFTER TAX. When you sign up for the 12 meal plan, you have 30 DAYS to use it starting from the day you signed up. There are no cancellation fees, so to maximize value you can cancel after 2 billing cycles (60 days).
However, if you find another person to refer, you will also get another $50 Amazon gift card, making your effective cost $89.84 = $3.74 / meal!
Some meals I got in the past:
Burger Priest - Magnum Burger + Fries (Normally $14.98 + Tax)
Poke Box - Spicy Box (Normally $11.90 + Tax)
PAI - Green Curry with Rice (Normally $13 + Tax)
Kupfert & Kim - Almond Lime Bowl (Normally $13.40 + Tax)
How MealPal works is basically you have from 5 PM the previous day to 9:30 AM the next day to pre-order a lunch meal for the day. You can choose 1 specialty dish from restaurants near you. In downtown Toronto, there are around 40-50 choices every day. However, if you miss the pickup time to get your meal, you will lose that meal (that is how they make money).
