Costco is once again offering a $100 inKind gift card for a discount, though this time around the price has dropped to $64.99 (the most recent previous sale was at $69.99). This could be a good deal if you have upcoming plans to dine at an inKind restaurant. You can also get 20% back on all food and beverage, though that doesn’t stack with gift cards.

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 several times now and found it easy to use and convenient to simply type the check number into the app and settle the bill without any wait time.
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, though the footprint seems to be growing. Nick used it at Chef José Andrés’s Jaleo DC and Michelin-starred Grammercy Tavern in New York City and I’ve been able to use it at several well-regarded spots in Seattle.

FYI, I tried to buy this on Costco.com last night and had a ton of issues. I tried to use the code immediately after it was e-mailed and it says it’s already been redeemed. If you read the reviews, this is a VERY common issue with these. I thought I’d take a chance, but I regret buying it. Now I’m in a battle with Costco over a refund because they have a “no refund” policy on digital items. They said they will “try” to send me a new code in 1-2 days and if they can’t they will consider giving me a refund. Buy at your own risk.
I had the same issue with Instacart digital cards when I first bought them. It might be worthwhile to contact InKind to see if they can credit it. That’s what I did with the Instacart GCs. Must be something on the backend that Costco struggles with.
Last black friday, I signed up for $5000 in credit and received about $8000 in credit (more than 50% bonus).
Also, I signed up for inkind pass – so I get $50 off $150+ spend every month.
Down to about $4000 in inkind credit so far.
That’s pretty good. I’d go more if they had restaurants closer to me.
InKind is amazing for me. Mostly all quality places, and i’m essentially getting at least 45% off at any place I go to. I travel a lot, and not having to look for a good place is massive for me. And then i’m getting 45% off when i go there. And then they often have $50 off of $150 deals. So i added 2k, got a 45% bonus, so my balance was $2.9k. Then I get $50 off $150 (last night). So, this is epic!
So cash stacks w the deals? I’ve used inkind but I’ve never bought/used inkind cash
I havent bought the gift cards, and dont use the 20% off your bill thing.. I waited for the 45% bonus and then I get the $50 off $150 which uses that same balance.
You probably realize this already, but the 45% bonus is essentially the same deal as the $69.99 Costco cards. InKind is one of the many companies that oscillate between using the terms “bonus” and “discount.” A 45% bonus works out to a ~31% discount…or just under $69 for $100 in credit. If you factor in the 2% back at Costco, it ends up being a slightly better deal than the 45% bonus (when it’s available). Six of one, half-dozen of the other, but there’s no need to wait for either one if you’re going to use the funds somewhere. When inKind runs the $59.99 gift card deal at Costco, which is much less frequent, that’s one to jump on.
I heard they wont have the $59 anymore. $69 is the new $59 lol… last year I got 300 bucks of it, which was $500 in credits
I got them for $60 recently at Costco. I wouldn’t get this deal, personally. IK sometimes offers much better offers through their app. If you are a foodie in a large city, Inkind is incredible. Last year, I got an offer for a 82% bonus for buying $8K. I got it, and split with friends. I wish I kept it all to myself.
Beware the order page is full of complaints that the gift card codes do not work.
What stacks work with Inkind, Resy, Franki, Rewards Network?
The Inkind gift cards were initially a very good deal at Costco. Then they raised the price to $79.99 for a $100 card (just as expensive as Uber and DoorDash). The restaurant selections are still limited in many places. I think that Inkind should adjust their price point with Costco sales. $69.99 isn’t bad, but I’ve paid lower than that— $60 to $65–for a 100 dollar value.
60-65 from where?
I picked up some back in Jan for $59.
