I typically will split the bill with myself though, first paying $50 using the coupon and $25 from my balance, and then the rest of the bill on a second pass with my expiring cash back.

I only say this because of several changes to the program they implemented over the past 6 months...
Recently:
- They updated their inKind credits policy so that cashback expire 2 months after earning. I reached out to support in November when I first saw this change and they said, "Beginning November 1, 2024, inKind Credit Back will expire 2 calendar months after it was earned."
- In December, there was another update to their cashback credits expiration, where the whole balance now shared an expiry "The entire Cash Back balance shares an expiration, and it is 2 months from the most recent time you earn or use Cash Back rewards, or purchase inKind Cash."
- They modified other portions of their inKind program -- for instance, they stopped offering the free $10/$20 for your first outing each month.
- They have been running aggressive gift card bonus offers that build up their cash reserves - I think the most recent one was "get up to 50% bonus cashback" but the catch was to qualify for the 50% bonus, you had to purchase ~$1,500ish of credit balance (I'm estimating here because I can't pull any of their terms atm)
I wonder if their model can continue to be sustainable.It's definitely a great deal for users of the app, and if a program offers outsized value, it is likely to devalue or collapse.
The way this should work is that you pay using the app by entering your check/table number.
The restaurant doesn't really have a say in how you choose to pay via the inKind app - unless they work to discourage you entirely to not use the app (which, in this case, they are probably violating their agreement with inKind, and will likely come to an agreement to be removed from the platform)

I know, the way InKind was supposed to operate is that unlike a Groupon (which many places treat like a lower tier), you shouldn't even have to tell them you're using InKind, just pay using this app - this becomes impossible if businesses start printing a different bill for InKind.
