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.

Getting 35% off at my favorite sushi joint is still a slick deal in my book whether I'm able to use coupons on top of it or not.

Another options might be to split the check with your partner, you use the 25 off 50 and the other pays with the remainder with gift card balance. In theory that would be hard to justify closing that off because then you go out with friends there would be a race to see who can use their deals or balance and who is stuck putting it on a cc, which does not make for a pleasant dinner or give the new user a positive experience.

Yup, was just about to say hopefully they keep the split check option. We've split 3 ways before where 2 ppl paid with their $15 off $15 offers and 3rd person paid with their inkind balance

I noticed that too, but when you click pay, those restaurants are still there. I just think they don't promote after they reach some limit of their loan being paid off
Are we still able to pay at restaurants no longer on the map but still showing up when you click pay?

Update: InKind support got back to me and offered extending the old terms by 30 days to be able to use the rest of my offers.

They also offered a full refund of any paid InKind balance from the app.

Yes, worked for me the 1 time I tried it, YMMV of course but I don't see why not if they're showing up and allow you to put in a check number

Yes. I talked to InKind about this last year and they mentioned that restaurants have different contracts with InKind. Some show up on the map while others only show up when tapping pay.

This happened to me today while I was paying for take-out and held up the line for a good 15 minutes. Kept thinking I was making a mistake somewhere. Came home and googled and saw this thread.

Oh well. I'll be eating away my Inkind gift cards this week and call it quits.

You can email InKind and they will extend the old terms for 30 days.They're also offering refunds for InKind balance paid with cash.

Ended up splitting the check between our two accounts to use a $25 off $50 coupon on one (had to pay the $25+tip with a CC) and the GC balance on the other.

Got a 30 day extension, used my monthly "perks at work" $50 off $150 and then my balance. I'll be able to use next month's as well. Can't wait for the next survey to ask what they can do to make you use inKind more
