I don't know where you can sign up, but the Transmedia card is a
membershjip kind of thing where you pay a certain fee (per year?) to
earn a 25% discount at participating restaurants AROUND THE US.  You
present the card and the discounted total is charged to the Transmedia
card, which is then (I think) charged to one of your credit cards.

As an interested tax dodge (which I myself would never try, of course)
I have heard that business people on eligible lunches receive
full-price receipts for these discounted meals, and use them for their
tax-deduction purposes.  Whatever.

Let me know, anyone, if you have more specific info than this!
