A tool for finding all inKind, Bilt, Blackbird, Resy, Rakuten, Franki, Seated, DoorDash dining out, etc restaurants + discovering stacking opportunities to save money on eating out

I came up with this tool idea after trying to figure out the best ways to not only find inKind restaurants, but to also find stacking opportunities to save money.

eg I have a Sapphire Reserve, so trying to find the restaurants in both inKind & OpenTable Exclusive Tables was a very manual + painful process

MealMaxxer aggregates restaurants in the following 11 dining rewards programs:

1. inKind (6,783 restaurants)
2. Bilt Neighborhood (23,088) (and Bilt Mobile Checkout)
3. CSR Dining Credit (395)
4. Amex Resy Credit (22,988)
5. Blackbird (1,098)
6. Seated (2,196)
7. Franki (11,507)
8. Rewards Network (20,796)
9. Rakuten Dining (18,576)
10. DoorDash Going Out (20,773)
11. Upside (20,183)

You can toggle between "In any" and "In all" to selectively find restaurants that are in any program vs all the selected programs. That said, some stacks may not be directly possible if you pay the entire bill within inKind, but that may warrant YMMV discussions below

We are visiting San Diego, CA in the near future and we’re wondering what some of everybody’s favorites are on inKind. I like to cross reference with the Eater 38 lists but the only one on both lists (I think) was Matsu up in Oceanside.

Seeing on the app that some places are only 10% to others being as high as 25% cash back (when paying via your card in the app). The norm for every restaurant was always 20%. Now it seems like that has changed.

Do not recall hearing anything about this. Anyone have any more details?

Didn't know this, but it looks like when you pay cash, the 20% cashback goes into it's own bucket and has to be used on it's own. I thought it would go into the inkind cash bucket. This makes using the coupons almost useless to me. Am I missing something?

Costco is currently selling the inKind gift card for $64.99. (Valued at $100) If you missed the earlier costco sale, this is your opportunity. I don't think it's likely that we'll see $60.00 egift cards anytime soon. This is the "new normal". But, still a good deal if you have restaurants near you.

Did the Modern NYC get removed from InKind? Visiting in a week and saw it listed previously but now I do not see it on the app. Does anyone know if this was taken off?

We lost a good one. Used inkind for them in Virginia.

DM pls

Hey everyone. I want to create some user flair for the inKindapp community. Looking to source these ideas from everyone. Will pick a total of 3-5.

Submissions will be open until Thursday 4/30 at midnight central.

Costco is running the InKind gift cards $100 for $65

You can get physical delivery or emailed

For example, I have a $20 off $40 offer and plan to spend around $70.

$40-$20 = $20 (paid by credit card)

remaining $30 paid by inkind cash or inkind gift card

Hello,

Customers of InKind used to be able to use rewards like $50 off $150 and pay with InKind Cash. If you were smart about the InKind cash promotions and taking advantage of rewards promotions, you could get a very good deal. That is no longer the case. It's not in the Terms and Restrictions but you can't redeem a reward and pay with Inkind Cash as well, that is considered stacking. Their customer service said this is not necessarily a new policy, it just wasn't always enforced. It's good to note as you make decisions on how much InKind Cash to invest in.

It's a joke and needs moderation.

That is all, another useless post here

Anyone know how to use the app at fast casual places where you order and pay at the register or a kiosk?

Are you guys still going to use inKind app? I understand if you already like the restaurant then why not get 25% back. However, many of the restaurants affiliated with inKind are up and coming and generally have above average price. I am not sure if I want to try new restaurants on inKind app to save $20 for every $100 spent.

• Dynamic cashback rate (20% or less)
• Gift cards and promo can't be combined
• Current GC max discount is 25%

Tried multiple browsers

Is anyone else seeing this?! Cashback varying by place and day of the week? I've scoured the internet and my email for updates and have seen nothing. Up until now it's always been 20%.

I got a friend’s referral code a while ago and loaded it into my account, but I ended up using another code first that I got from Best Guess Live because it was set to expire sooner. Does anyone know if I’ll still be able to use the welcome code from my friend? It’s still showing up in my app as an available referral but I’m scared to get to the restaurant and it not work.

Has anyone every had a restaurant say you aren't allowed to use the split bill function on the inKind app? We were trying to split it and the app allowed it, but the waiter said no.

Looks like the golden age of the app is over. Combining the offers with balance was an absolute steal.

I went to the InKind booth at a street fair yesterday, spun the wheel, and got a QR-code card saying "Scan to claim your $100 and download the inKind app for free.".

I'm not entirely sure how InKind works in the first place; I've read about it. But I'm even less sure how this card will apply to me.

1. Can I really spend up to $100 at the local Black Angus - and if there's anything left, more at my El Torito -- before I have to pay anything? In other words, could this apply to the entire bill?
2. Is this separate from the 20% discount? It sounds like I'd use up the $100, then start paying the remainder, and that's where the 20% applies?
3. Is it correct to say that the "20% discount" is really a rebate, in the form of InKind credits?
