I've been using them for 2 years and very happy with the selection of restaurants and how easy it is to pay.

changing the rules during the game...usually to the users detriment.

for example, we can no longer combine discount codes with gift card balances...ie, stacking.

also, we no longer get the incredible $50 off $50 or $100 off $100...not that it could last.

and you used to be able to buy GCs at restaurants (even though the terms said you couldn't)...that loophole has been closed.

Still a decent deal for those in LA...especially if you go to those restaurants anyways.

Yea like not getting $100 off $100 is so unreasonable. Sorry this world isn't magical enough for you

You used to be able to combine coupons with InKind giftcards but you can't anymore. Still a good deal just not as good as it used to be.

that nerfing did occur recently, relatively speaking. That doesn't change the fact that this is a massive discount. 35% off, which amounts to 30% off even after tip.

$100 bill, 20 bucks tip. That's 120 bucks. THe 65 GC pays for the 100 bill, another 20 bucks TIP that is not discounted. So you're paying 85 bucks for a 120 tab. 85/120=...wait for it...70.8%. That's a 29.2% discount anywhere this is accepted. If you do takeout and not pay tip, it's 35%. That is by all account...INSANELY GOOD! We have anything from michelin rated restaurants to coffee shops by us(NYC) and in a fairly decent volume.

Long story short, for those of us living in big cities where there are a lot of restaurants available on the platform, this is massive. It's literally the only reason I keep a costco membership.


The way it was set up and the way they were throwing those 50/50 or even 50/100 deals was unsustainable. And it's also a model used by practically anyone to attract customers and build an eco system. Was GREAT while it lasted, this is still great, just slightly less...

Sucks they raised it from $60 to $65 but that's been a while back. The removal of the stacking sucks but they're still giving out good deals. got a $50 off $100 recent and then another $50 off of $150. I still use those just to use them.

The biggest catch with InKind is how they handle balances. They treat your prepaid gift card balance like a promotional offer rather than a standard payment method. If you have a 30% cashback credit from a previous visit and want to use it, you're forced to not pay with your own gift card balance. Gift cards should act like cash or a credit card on file, letting you stack your earned rewards on top. Right now, it penalizes you for pre-funding your account.

Can't use the promos they send me with gift card balance which is BS. It's a recent change but because of it, I won't buy anymore gift cards.

Can you use the recent promo code they sent out for $50 off on $100 and pay the balance using gift card? The promo that expires today?

I'm pretty happy with the $100 of credit for $60/$65. A $60 meal becomes $40, which takes you back at least to pre-COVID times. inKind has actually added more places around me that I like. (Some people have complained that selection changes / goes down.)

Question for you all that have more experience than me:
Is the Costco $100 for $65 the best deal to use inKind?

I see all sorts of other promotions from them, but those don't stack with the Costco gift card, right?
However, if I have a $25 off $50 or $50 off $100 'rewards' in my account, logically that would be a better deal (if my bill was slightly over $50/$100)? They have also offered "45% bonus" for inKind cash. So that would be ~31% off, rather than the 35% off from Costco. Am I missing anything here? Any difference between GC money and 'inKind Cash'?
