Shop-A-Docket is strictly not a rewards program but one has to subscribe (free) by email or look at the back of participating stores' dockets to see what eclectic discounts are available. With email, typically one has to print the voucher or put the code into a smartphone or notebook.

Woolworths discontinued Shop-A-Docket recently but a number of other majors still have these on receipt backs.

At present there's $10 off a main meal (excluding the cheaper Seniors' meals) at most Woolworths/ALH Group pubs around Australia, of which there are 300 plus. This offer is available 23 January to 28 February.

Most if not all of these pubs have pokies but usually in a separate room so thankfully for the majority who don't gamble, the annoying sounds of electronic gaming machines are not audible. Many of the pubs have been renovated. The dining experience varies from extremely basic to excellent value for the price. Many families come for dinner as quite a few of the pubs have a children's playground - usually inside - that is visible from the dining area so we can keep an eye on the little darlings. The pubs' bistros normally open for lunch and dinner seven days a week with some having the kitchen open all day from 1130 to 2100 on Fridays and Saturdays. The usual good range of beers, wine and spirits is available.

If you obtain a free Monty's Rewards card, that's an extra five per cent off drinks and meals. Many don't seem to avail of this discount, which is surprising because it only takes five to ten minutes to sign up and the pubs appear to have many regular patrons.

Geographical coverage of these 'great food great value' (website claim) pubs is variable with a large number in Melbourne but none in Alice Springs, Albury, Ballarat or Bendigo. Coles has many Queensland pubs so that explains some of the lack of coverage in parts of rural Queensland.

Can you use the $10 off on special nights with the 5% off Monty card aswell?
Or is it full priced meals only?

Got a link because I cannot find it?

I don't have a link, but on every special promotion at these Woolworths/ALH Group hotels, the staff have swiped the Monty's card and it has taken off an extra five per cent. Just type Shop A Docket into Bing/Google and you should be able to subscribe to its emails.

Perhaps someone forgot to program in 'no further discounts' but it made a good value meal even better.

A couple of staff at some hotels appear not to have seen a Monty's card before but when that occurrs I call for the manager and he/she invariably knows about it. The James Squire branded hotels are in the same group but strangely these don't allow any discount with Monty's Rewards cards.

It's not Michelin cuisine but the meals at these ALH hotels are often fairly good to excellent, and usually quite a generous portion size. Plus they have a good range of alcohol. At dinner on Friday and Saturday nights some of these pubs can be packed but come for lunch on a Monday and most have 10 - 25 diners only, and sometimes if the weather is bad even fewer.

Where did you get that idea from?
Receipt rolls for Woolworths are still supplied once per month by Shop A Docket. They however don't appear to have non Woolworths promos on them any more.
