If you remember the Entertainment Book, you probably remember flicking through pages of restaurant and activity vouchers and carefully tearing out the ones you wanted to use.

Things look a little different in 2026.

Entertainment is now an app, with thousands of offers across dining, shopping, travel and things to do throughout Australia and New Zealand.

But there's one question we know people still ask before signing up:

Is an Entertainment Membership actually worth it?

The answer comes down to one simple question: will you save more than the cost of your Membership?

To put that into perspective, we've broken down what the savings could look like for three very different types of Members: a family of four, a mature couple and a single person in their 20s.

Different lifestyles. Different spending habits. One simple way to save.

What Is the Entertainment App?

The Entertainment App is a digital savings membership that gives Members access to exclusive offers at participating restaurants, attractions, retailers and travel partners.

Depending on the offer, Members can access savings including 2-for-1 dining, percentage discounts and exclusive Member pricing.

There are offers available across Australia and New Zealand, meaning your Membership can be used for savings when you're travelling, planning a family day out or simply deciding where to eat tonight.

It is much like the Entertainment Book you remember - but now with the added convenience of being accessed via your phone.

How Much Does an Entertainment Membership Cost?

An Entertainment Membership costs $75 and unlocks access to thousands of offers across Australia and New Zealand.

So, when you're deciding whether an Entertainment Membership is worth it, the maths is fairly simple:

How quickly could you save $75?

The answer will look different for everyone.

Let's look at three examples.

The following scenarios are illustrative examples designed to demonstrate how different types of Members could use Entertainment. Actual savings will vary depending on the offers redeemed and individual spending.

Member 1: The Family of Four

Two adults. Two children. Plenty of plans.

Between family dinners, weekend activities and school holidays, finding things to do together can quickly add up.

For a family of four, even a small saving on each ticket or meal can make a noticeable difference to the overall cost of a day out.

How this family could use Entertainment over three months

Membership cost: $75

Potential savings after Membership cost: $162

For this family, a theme park booking alone could be enough to cover the cost of their Membership.

After that, every additional saving helps the family budget stretch a little further.

Estimated break-even point: 1–2 redemptions.

Member 2: The Couple Who Loves to Dine and Travel

Long lunches. Weekend escapes. More time to explore.

For a mature couple, an Entertainment Membership might be less about looking for extra things to do and more about finding better value on the experiences they already enjoy.

A dinner out here. A weekend away there. A local experience while travelling.

Those savings can add up quickly.

How this couple could use Entertainment over three months

Membership cost: $75

Potential savings after Membership cost: $115

For this couple, one weekend away and a dinner could almost cover the cost of their Membership.

The next lunch, experience or getaway simply adds to the value.

Estimated break-even point: 2–3 redemptions.

Member 3: The Twenty-Something Who's Always Making Plans

Dinner with friends. Weekend activities. Travel plans in the group chat.

You don't need a family or a large household budget to get value from an Entertainment Membership.

For someone in their 20s, the savings may come from regular social plans and everyday spending rather than one big purchase.

It's the dinner you were already going to book. The activity your friends suggested for Saturday. The trip you've been planning for months.

How this Member could use Entertainment over three months

Membership cost: $75

Potential savings after Membership cost: $56

For this Member, the value comes from smaller savings across plans they were already making.

A few dollars here. More dollars there. Before long, the Membership has covered its own cost.

Estimated break-even point: 3–4 redemptions.

Three Different Members. One Simple Habit.

The family used Entertainment to make family days out and dining more affordable.

The couple found savings on restaurants, travel and experiences.

The twenty-something saved across social plans, activities and travel.

Their lifestyles are completely different, but the habit is the same:

Check Entertainment before you spend.

The goal isn't to spend more, it’s to save with offers where you are already spending.

How Much Could You Save With the Entertainment App?

You don't need a savings calculator to work out whether an Entertainment Membership could offer value for your lifestyle.

Think about the plans you already have coming up.

A family day out. Dinner with friends. A weekend away. School holiday activities. Your next online shop.

If you were able to save on just a few of those plans, how quickly could you reach $75 in savings?

As our three examples show, the answer could be sooner than you think.

The family of four: Potentially reaches the break-even point in 2–3 redemptions.

The couple: A weekend away and dinner could almost cover the cost of Membership.

The twenty-something: Smaller savings across 3–4 everyday plans could quickly add up.

The key isn't finding new reasons to spend.

It's remembering to check Entertainment before you book, buy or head out.

Once your savings reach the cost of Membership, every additional saving is extra value in your pocket.

Is Entertainment Only Worth It If You Dine Out Often?

No.

Dining has always been a big part of Entertainment, but the app now offers much more than restaurant deals.

Members can find savings across:

• Dining

• Activities and attractions

• Travel and accommodation

• Shopping

• eGift Cards

• Family experiences

That means you can use your Membership in a way that suits your lifestyle.

Is the Entertainment App the Same as the Entertainment Book?

The way you access Entertainment has changed, but the intention remains the same: helping Members enjoy more while spending less.

Instead of carrying a physical book and using paper vouchers, Members can browse and redeem participating offers through the Entertainment App.

You can search for offers, discover new places and check for savings while you're making plans.

So, is an Entertainment Membership Worth it in 2026?

If you dine out, plan family activities, travel, shop or simply enjoy trying new experiences, an Entertainment Membership has the potential to pay for itself surprisingly quickly.

As our three example Members show, there's no single way to find value.

The question isn't whether you need to change how you spend.

It's whether you could save on the money you're already spending.

So, is the Entertainment App worth it?

Check before you book, buy or head out - and the savings could speak for themselves.
