Foodpanda's campaign promised "unlimited free delivery on all restaurants," for users who purchased a Pandapro subscription, said the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) on Nov 20.

The plan was marketed as starting from $4.99 a month, with the first month to cost just a dollar.

However, subscribers received only a $3 discount for all restaurant delivery fees, or a discount of up to $6 for selected eateries, the commission said.
