$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...

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.

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.

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'?
