BJ’s Wholesale is offering a $100 InKind GIft Card for $69.99. While Costco members can buy an InKind card for $64.99, this can nonetheless be a good deal if you have a BJ’s Wholesale Membership (and not a Costco membership), and 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’ve used it a number of times now and have been impressed with the ease of use and the discounts possible when buying discounted gift cards.
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). It’s easy to use and convenient to simply type the check number into the app and settle the bill without any wait time.
The drawback, of course, is that you’re limited to restaurants that accept inKind payments. They certainly aren’t everywhere, though the footprint seems to be growing. I have used InKind at Chef José Andrés’s Jaleo DC and Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern in New York City a couple of times as well as several casual spots over the past couple of years. Tim has used it at several well-regarded spots in Seattle as well. Since you’re paying menu prices whether or not you use InKind, saving 30% or more by purchasing gift cards can make for a very good deal.
Again, keep in mind that you can do a little better at Costco right now, but if (like me) you live in an area with BJ’s Wholesale and without Costco, this could be the deal for you.
