[…] London is also partnered with Wedge card and the great thing is most of the shops listed in the book offer Wedge discount […]

It’s a nice idea but nothing new as its been tried in local environment before and generally always fails. They face the key problem of getting critical mass of suppliers and buyers to make this work and the £10 sign-up fee doesn’t help even though half goes to charity. For this to be a success its need to be free to the buyer and the supplier pays wedge card a % on successful transaction or a similar model. Implementing this is obviously more complicated but I believe it stands a better chance of long term success.
