03 August 2017

We know how important it is to save, and we are committed to helping you do so. But we also know how important it is to enjoy the fun things in life too, such as eating out.

Whether it’s a family catch up, date night or just a Friday night out with friends, going to a wonderful restaurant or enjoying your favourite takeaway is a treat you deserve.

And now it’s no longer a pay-day treat: we’re making it an everyday treat!

Absa Dining

Absa Dining, available to Absa Gold Value Bundle and Graduate account holders, is a great way to eat out at the places you love and save money too because all Absa Dining members get up to R100 off their second main meal purchased (or the cheaper of the two).

How Absa Dining works

When you and a partner or you and friends eat out, you’ll automatically get the discount on the cheaper of the second main meal purchased.

  • The cost of the second main meal (up to R100) will be deducted from the total bill.
  • If more than two people dine out, up to R100 is given on the cheapest main meal.

Please note though that if the main meal is less than R100, you will not receive any cash back for the portion not used.

But don’t just take our word for it; here’s what a few Absa Diners have to say:

Customer membership number: MAYHE…*

Based on my dining experience at Butcher Block Florida Road I will dine out there again and I would try other restaurants available on Absa Dining. When I produced my booking confirmation upon arrival at Butcher Block Umhlanga they instantly knew about the discount. I have already told my friends and family about the Absa Dining programme. I was overall very happy with my dining experience and the service I received.

Customer membership number: VDWALY…*

The Absa Dining benefit is a valuable benefit to have. My experience at Cafe Rousse Tygervalley was an enjoyable experience and everything was perfect. I am going to recommend the Absa Dining program to my friends and family members.

Customer membership number: RAMSO…*

When I produced my booking confirmation the manager on duty knew what my discount will be. I will definitely dine out at this restaurant again and I enjoyed everything about the restaurant. The Absa Dining benefit is a great benefit to have and I like utilising the benefit as it saves me money. Everything was perfect in regards to my Dining experience.
