You got the free stay and high tea vouchers? You're not supposed to get those as part of the credit card-Epicure scheme!
No, I didn't. I was saying that we don't even get things like the lounge access with the complimentary Epicure Preferred membership we get via Citi. We do get one night free in a base-category room with the Epicure Preferred. Two with the Epicure Privileged.

The discount on F&B is the same. Under TIC Silver you used to get 25% of your spend back in the form of TIC points all year round and 50% for the first three transactions of the membership year. On bar spends you'd get one drink for every one you bought during happy hours, plus 25% of your spend back in the form of points. No wonder they withdrew it!
