Costco is once again offering a $100 InKind gift card for $59.99. That could be a great deal if you have upcoming plans to dine at an InKind restaurant. You can also get 20% back on all food and beverage, which we’ll post about separately.

Quick Thoughts
InKind has had a number of Amex Offers and other discounts over the past couple of years. I ignored it for a while, but then finally signed up and have enjoyed the couple of chances I’ve had to use it.
For those unaware, InKind is a payment app. Participating restaurants allow you to settle your restaurant tab within the app, eliminating the need to give your credit card to the server (and wait for them to return with it). I was skeptical as to how useful this would be, but I’ve used it a couple of times now thanks to generous promotions and I’ve found it relatively easy to use.
The drawback is of course that you’re limited to the restaurants that offer the ability to pay via InKind. They certainly aren’t everywhere and as such I’ve only found it useful when visiting major cities (and even then, the footprint is very limited). Still, I have a reservation at Jaleo DC in a couple of months and I’ll be happy to use InKind to settle the tab thanks to credits I’ve built up through discounted gift cards and referrals. I’ve also gotten targeted for some good promotions now and then.
I don’t need more InKind credit right now, but if I had an imminent reservation at a restaurant that takes it, I’d probably be buying a gift card here to save 40% even if it means missing out on a restaurant category bonus.
Lot of sites talking about Inkind….no one has a link showing participating locations. Useless for me.
You just go to InKind.com and scroll down a little and there’s a map search right on their home page.
Does this mean you can only get FIVE referrals, 5 forms of payment, or is it something else???
Key Terms
Limit of 5 per member
Costco only allows Costco members to buy up to 5 gift cards per member. The post is about a deal to buy a gift card at Costco, so the terms are related to the Costco deal, not InKind.
Thanks, Nick
Finally had a chance to use InKind on a trip to ABQ. Seamless to use and the banked credits bought at a discount plus the app offers for additional discounts made it a very cost effective meal. Just wish it had more presence where we live!
Yeah, I feel the same way — surprisingly seamless / easy, just wish it had more of a footprint.
does inkind work for takout order?
Yes!
Can you use InKind credits to pay the tip also?
No, you can’t. You have to use a credit card for tip.
Sure you used it and enjoyed it, using refferal
credits. Free is good.
Does the overage on the restaurant bill show up as a 4x restaurant bonus on AmEx Gold or does it show up as a 1x from InKind?
4x
Mt orders keep getting cancelled.
Keep in mind you can’t stack it with the $50 off $150 for InKind Pass members
yes you can
Additional tip: I just bought a couple inKind cards for a meal a week ago when they were $69.99. Filled out Costco.com’s price adjustment request yesterday (for purchases within 30 days) and got $10 per card credited back to my Visa today.
in 4 1! Our fave local pizza joint is on inkind. thanks!
