they only apply with certain conditions, such as 'free' bottle of bubbly when you buy a round (probably a minimum spend on the round too) so youthen have to stay in that pub whilst you drink your bubbly (whihc will without doubt be the wholesalers cheapest), half price entrance to clubs before 11pm, offers at macdonalds (usually have offers on anyway).

They'reuseless. But, have a look for your self, make sure you read the small print to see if the special offers are worth it

google it on vip wristbands blackpool

Only buy your wristbands from hotel as there are other wrist bands that are sold on the streets but are not recognised by all the clubs and bars, The bands are good value if you are planning on visiting a few clubs and bars as most pubs now charge to go in now but you can get in free if you have a wristband,they also offer a que jump which means you dont have to wait for ages to get in.

What about the family ones that give you money off attractions and arcades. Are they much ado about nothing too? They sound like a good deal when reading about them but after reading this, not so sure now!
