Irritated with Hard Rock

Tim and I are advent Hard Rock fans. When ever we travel on of the first things we do is figure out if there is a Hard Rock there. We are also Hard Rockers. A few years back when when were in NYC we got the All Access Card. A VERY cool thing, if you are a Hard Rock fan, I suggest you get this.

This past Saturday I was in London with my friend Chris. We both wanted to go to Hard Rock and the timing was perfect as we were both very hungry. I said well I have my All Access Card, lets see how it works. When we walked up we heard the hostess tell the people in front of us that the wait was for about an hour and a half. I shrugged and said, "Let's see how long we will wait?" We were seated immediately. HOW COOL!!

So we have our dinner and talk and Chris told me that Hard Rock give 15% off for military members. Sweet, then we can use my card, I can get the points and we still get our meal at a discount. We pay, we leave, we go to the store, buy our pins and other assorted items and head home.

Yesterday I figured I would put my points on my card. Points = FREE stuff. So I log-in and proceed. I messed up the first time, I figured out my mistake and then I got an error code. Basically it said that since I used the military discount for my meal that I can't claim the points on my card. WTF...how unfair is that? I still spent money in the restaurant and the store and I can't get credit for either. To make matters worse, Chris had gone to Amsterdam a few weeks before and saved her receipts but it was the same thing. So because the military discount was applied I missed out on putting like $120 worth of points on my card.

It's not fair....Damn Hard Rock....don't worry, we'll still go back, we like it that much.
