Richard Macrae, 30, uses the card in nightclubs, taxis and restaurants to save money, and has so far saved nearly £200.
The red-head from Aberdeen said: “Over four years it fairly builds up.”
The card reads that it was awarded by the 'International Council of Gingers' and claims Richard is an 'official ginger'.
The comic book illustrator explained to The Mirror: "People have always given me stick for my hair colour, but now I'm going out three nights a week and saving a fortune. The joke's on them.
"It comes out with me more than my bank card. My reputation precedes me, once I was asked by a security guard if I was the 'ginger discount guy.”
"I ask if they do the ginger discount, and when they look confused I slide across my card.
"Usually everyone gets the humour behind it, some people look confused and wonder if it's real which is always a laugh, but most get the joke.”
Richard says the card works as an effective ice breaker with people, and has had a mostly positive reaction.
"It opens folk up to a bit of banter back and forth but I never try for any specific amount of discount. Any money off is always handy."
The discount card does have its downsides though, Richard says.
"I've been asked to leave a bar once because the bartender assumed that I was too drunk if I was attempting to use it."
Barmaid Kirsty Davidson, 24, jokingly described Richard as a ‘chancer’.
"I thought it was really funny and unique as I had never seen anyone try use something like that before.
"I gave him 20 per cent food and drink discount as he was also in for food at the time. I decided it was all in good fun and he was a bit of a chancer."
