$3 Wine Discount Back
At the ORD C Club. Noticed that visitors can, "Enjoy a $3 discount on fine wines when you use your MileagePlus Club Card or Presidential Plus Card." Now that's a change I like!

I am always thrilled to find a glass of Rombauer Chardonnay for $7

Yes, I did not see a sign, but got the discount 2 weeks ago at EWR.

Is this new, or just new at ORD? I've been getting the discount for at least a few months (I know I got it on Aug. 11 at EWR), though I rarely pay for booze at the UC.

do they give you a discount at the bar or is it a credit applied to your statement?

How did they cut those apples? With the plastic knives they have for breakfast? That's impressive!

The charge is $3 less than what's quoted on the "menu". A $10 wine would show up as $7.

Unfortunately the discount does not apply to Pimm's #1 cup.

Good news...now have to remember to carry the card again. Don't use it for much spending (I have Pres Plus) given CSP and for now no need for flex eqm.

Sadly, the discount no longer applies to scotch.

Was at SFO a week ago and the bartender was talking about it and provided a sheet of paper explaining it

I was at the SFO club in the int'l terminal about a month ago and they had a similar sign and the bartender asked people if they had the card when they purchased alcohol. Was the discount $3 before? I thought it was less.

Red face Great News - I can use this weekend
Now if they only brought back the sampler - 3 wine glasses for something like $12 and they could be all the same wine ;

That's new. I got the $3 discount for Glenlivet 15 at the ORD T2 UC (the club for masochists that enjoy the CRJ-200) not too long ago.
