We use this card frequently in the Greater Seattle area and haven't had any bad experiences such as other reviewers have written about. It's a fantastic deal and well worth it. We highly recommend it, at least if you live in the Seattle area. Also makes a fabulous gift for the friend or family member who eats out a lot like we do. Going to lunch tomorrow with three friends and two of us have the Passport card, and the restaurants let you use two cards at one table. Also go to Arnie's in Edmonds about once a month with another friend, and we both order the lobster tail and only have to pay for one. Like I said - a great deal and worth every cent.
