At checkout, you have the options of selecting InKind Balance, InKind Offers, and InKind Cashback. You can't mix and match anymore.

Looks like the golden age of InKind is over.

----

We recently made some changes to our U.S. terms of use and privacy policy, which will go into effect for all inKind users.

Terms of Use
These changes:
Update how and when components of inKind Balances can be used. This will simplify the checkout flow to allow you to use either a) inKind Cash, b) inKind Cash Back or c) an offer you may have. Making this change will reduce friction at checkout and also give inKind the opportunity to support more restaurants.

When InKind started to lower their offers this year, that was the beginning of the end.

That and when InKind themselves were promoting the Costco deals.

Some of those offers in the beginning were absolutely crazy too. $100 off $100 for example vs $10 off $30 that is common now.

Crap! Been using inkind for a couple of years and stacking the coupons is what made it useful. Otherwise the Costco giftcards are still decent at 35% off.

That's bad news. But when does the new rule come into effect? Already?

It's still a crazy discount you just need to make sure you have enough to cover the intended purchase

Noticing fewer restaurants too, many leaving the app, best to use any balances sooner than later.

Yes, OP laughably lacking details when they could just link to DOC where this has been discussed ad nauseum including the escape hatch of 30-day grace period or refund of amount paid

What do you mean make sure to have enough to cover the intended purchase? I mean you wouldn't be able to order anything if you didn't have enough to cover the purchase. Like if the deal is $25 off $50 then you need to cover the $25 left on the bill with a card or cash. But if you want to use any Inkind balance then you can't use the $25 off $50 or any offer. The most consistent deal now I guess is getting the Costco $100 Inkind gift card for $65.

How demoralizing it must be to work InKind support since they dropped this nonsense, offering escape hatches to every annoyed customer who asks and finding one for yourself
