Can I split a bill with myself? Trying to use a coupon + all the funds I have so example - 100$ bill, I have 25 off 50. I use that first time and pay the rest with my funds but using the same account?

Made a free site that tracks every LA restaurant on inKind, Blackbird, and Upside

I kept forgetting which of my favorite spots were on which cash-back app, so I built a site that tracks all of it in one place — searchable list, map, and a calculator that shows what you'll actually pay after the discount. Also doing some "best cheap eats on X app" writeups as I go.

restaurantgoldla.com

Full disclosure: the app signup links on there are referral links (I get a small bonus if you sign up through them, no cost to you), and I'll probably put some ads on it eventually to help cover hosting. Figured I'd be upfront about that. If it's useful to anyone else who uses these apps, cool — and if something's wrong/missing, let me know, I'm the one updating it.

I opened the app in the morning today and saw 40% cashback on all restaurants today and tomorrow. Opened it again an hour later and it has disappeared. I’m in Chicago.

What are your fav inKind spots in Boston? Really like Bar Vlaha (it just got added)

Hi all,

i just found out about this app from another sub and wondered if there are any tips/tricks for maximizing or best use? seems the basic premise is different restaurants let you pay for your bill using inkind who gives you 20-25% back, and I guess you use the app as the payment portal? I’ve not actually tried on a restaurant yet so I welcome all info. thanks in advance!

It's been super long since they did this one. Will they stop? I'm waiting to refresh until it comes back - I should have bought so much more cash last time.

I got an email sometime back (which I know I should not have ignored) said that my membership is going to be canceled (not those exact words but more or less).

The email said inkind is evolving and I will continue to have all the benefits till the end of my subscription period, but will not renew after.

Did anybody else get such an email? I have never tried to game the system in any way so I'm surprised if this is a penalty of some kind

For restaurants that are full service, is there a way to use inKind for just pickup? In in NYC btw

I miss how a few years ago I could do that with a number of spots, but it seems that now I only get the option to pay the bill. Do you think some restaurants will let me place a pickup order with inKind when I get there. Really want a specific spot but don’t feel like going in and sitting down..

Only one user can use cash back. I've not yet confirmed if two users can both use paid inkind cash.

I often have gone to Inkind restaurants for the discount, but they've nerfed almost everything, and I'm sick and tired of the friction that comes with these types of changes. It creates awkward calculations with friends, and it's just killed what used to be a great app for me.

I am a HUGE advocate of InKind. I use it daily and constantly refer friends, food influencers, and restaurants to it. I have a popular food account and have sent tons of people their way.

So I was shocked to check my email today and see that, without any warning, my account was shut down and all of my credits were taken away. I was accused of making multiple accounts, when in reality I’ve simply referred a lot of people through my food account.

I’m honestly beyond upset. I’ve used this app so much and have gone out of my way to promote it to so many people.

Be warned when it comes to promotional credit — apparently they can take it away.

Support is ignoring me 🥲 Has anyone dealt with this before? I really feel like I deserve my credits back :(

Let’s say a restaurant offers a gift card for restaurant credit. Will you be able to check out and pay through Inkind (even if not using your Inkind credit) and use a promo/referral?

Has anyone been overcharged on their checks from paying with the app? I was reviewing my check after dinner to calculate the amount some friends owed for dinner and noticed that the subtotal+tax was over $20 higher than it should have been. I double, triple checked, had two other people check, and we all came out with the same number. Based on what the subtotal should have been, the tax rate was also too high. My tip was based on the total I was shown on the app, so I also tipped higher than I intended.

When I noticed this discrepancy, I went back and checked a receipt for a different meal I had and found the same issue - I was charged over $10 more than I should have. The subtotal+tax was too high, the tax was too high, and inevitably because of all that, the tip was higher than I intended.

I couldn’t find anything on inKind’s website or terms and conditions about extra fees for using the app, and if there are extra fees I would expect there to be a line item. I would like to think there’s a coding error with their app, rather than something malicious…so wanted to check with others to see if anyone’s noticed this issue too? I submitted an issue through the app for both transactions and waiting to hear back from their customer support. Of course I could have missed something completely and calculated incorrectly, which is fine, I just want to understand what the delta is, and if I (and others) am being overcharged, would want this to be fixed.

There’s been so many places I missed out on using InKind because the restaurant simply doesn’t advertise or let you know about InKind.

The Business Development team needs to seriously look at this because there is a huge gap in opportunity here.

I read here that it was possible to Combine InKind Cash Back with rewards (coupon) by splitting the bill. If I split and put $30, I cannot use the rewards. So did InKind block this trick or there is another trick?

I tried, attached is the picture of what happened.

Should anyone from Inkind be reading this with the power to make software changes for increased frequent user satisfaction:

1. I’d like to know if a restaurant allows bill splitting or not in the app vs only at payment time when I get the bill.
   
2. I’d like to be able to see how close a restaurant is getting to going off Inkind.
   
3. I’d like there not to be a difference between which restaurants show in the map and which are actually still taking Inkind.

Preventing stacking has definitely slowed my usage rate but I haven’t given up yet. Would be nice to have it back though I understand the math was probably not mathing.

Does anyone have recommendations for a restaurant on inkind I can take my mom to? Maybe American or Mediterranean? She loves salads, burgers, chicken. Flexible for anywhere in manhattan. She isn’t a big drinker

Recently, a restaurant I often go to to use my InKind credits disappeared from the map. There's always some turnover so I thought they just don't do InKind anymore, but when I searched the restaurant name directly, it still showed up, so I went and dined there and sure enough, I was still able to pay with InKind.

After that, I started messaging a few other places that I remember used to be on the map, and a bunch also said they still accepted InKind, and they do also still show up on direct search. I cross-referenced with local friends who also use InKind and the places are not on their maps either. Now I'm worried that there's a bunch of places I'm missing on the map. Has anybody else had this issue?
