Back when you could stack offers like $50 off $100 with your Costco egift card credit, buying a particular restaurant's gift card would essentially save you 67.5% (50% off from the offer + 35% off from Costco egift card).

Advantages of buying the restaurant gift card
1) no expiration, whereas the $50 off $100 offer usually expires within 2 or 4 weeks.
2) you can pay gratuity with the restaurant gift card, whereas the inkind app makes you pay gratuity with the credit card on file
Also, some restaurants disappeared or certain locations. Or, say with CPK, you could buy $130 worth of GCs for $50...now that was something Cousin Greg would approve of!

I sometimes get small reward balances but they are never worth using anymore over the 35% discounted balance

What I should do is get a drink at a bar that accepts it, close check and then order food separately. - I mean its annoying but since they killed stacking...

Its also a great way to manufacture some spend. Got a sub I need to meet. Costco online also takes Mastercard though this sub is on a Visa.

They give good breaks just using it. If/When they go bankrupt, the float will all be lost.

If I knew I was going somewhere the same day as Costco, I'd do it, but... Otherwise this seems ripe for failure given how large the gap is with paying with Inkind in all these ways versus real prices.

Restaurants come and go, too, so I can't imagine it works well for them, either.

It works for restaurants in a backdoor way because it helps them get financing.

Yesterday I ordered chicken parm and pasta which cost $52 (the side of pasta was $12) so even with 35% off , I still paid $34, which was actually the fair price in my opinion.

I am not sure who eats the 35% discount Inkind provides to Costco, there are so many variables to what the restaurant gets

In addition I asked the bartender if she cared if I brought a networking group to the restaurant and promoted InKind with my code on the event page. She said she didnt mind, its actually easier because the pmt is all done in the app


You can be a pessimist but I dont see them going anywhere soon, and I am happy to get my 65 cents on the dollar at these overpriced restaurants

You can usually order in person and pay via inkind. Just ask before you order.

I've done it many times for take out. Never called ahead though, but I assume it's the same if you pay at the restaurant and not through a 3rd party
Thanks

Just a note: it seems when you look on the map for restaurants, only one location of a local chain will show up. But if you click on "pay" and put in the name, you will see all the locations under that name and they will all take inkind.

Also a bagel place near me use to accept it. Unfortunately they do not anymore.

I use to order dozen to go and just tell the cashier I want to pay with InKind and she would give me the check number. Only caveat is that it would default to a 20% tip on a togo bagel order in which I would normally not tip

I mean if it's a carryout order 20% is pretty high, but you should still tip. You are saving 35-50%! Share the wealth.

I had purchased four in-kind gift cards in August at the regular price. Called Costco today and they just refunded the difference on all four - $40 back to the credit card. I then purchased one more at today's discounted price (assuming that the four price adjustments counted toward my limit of 5). Gotta love Costco.

This is a good deal for me. We eat a lot of Ike's and they often do two for one deals. With these gift cards, that comes out to something like $5-6 a sandwich. Occasionally the store attendant says the two for one doesn't stack with inkind but it always does when they ring it up.

Yea that sounds reasonable I usually just give $2 or 10% for carryout when paying with inKind.

Paying with cash usually don't tip.

Check the restaurants partnered with inKind and use them ASAP as they may end the partnership suddenly. Happened to us a few times after visiting restaurants that we thought was still partnered with inKind.
