Where a Retailer requires you to pre-book (e.g. hairdresser, restaurant) you should state at the time of booking that you intend to use the Discount Card.
At a Retailer where you pay for goods after use (e.g. hairdresser, restaurant), with or without pre-booking, you should inform the Retailer that you intend to use the Discount card prior to the receipt of relevant goods/services
