A really cool map tool has hit the Internet. MealMaxxer is likely to be of high interest for those readers who enjoy maximizing dining rewards, from Resy dining credits to inKind restaurants to Chase Sapphire Tables to apps like Franki and Seated, etc. MealMaxxer makes it easy to find options for your credits and identify opportunities for stacking.
Mealmaxxer (find the MealMaxxer Map tool here) is essentially a map tool that has restaurants pinned if they are available for one of the following types of credit card credits or dining rewards programs:
- Bilt Neighborhood Dining
- Chase Sapphire Tables
- Amex Resy credits
- inKind
- Blackbird
- Seated
- Franki
- Bilt Mobile Checkout
Each of these has different use cases. For instance, if you have a consumer Amex Platinum card, you may be particularly interested in Resy restaurants where you can use a Resy credit. However, you may be looking to stack that with Bilt Neighborhood Dining rewards or an offer via inKind.
Similarly, you may be looking to see if there’s a Chase Sapphire Tables restaurant that is also eligible to earn rewards through a secondary program. Or you may be sitting on a lot of Bilt cash, and so perhaps you’re looking for an opportunity to find a restaurant that offers Bilt mobile checkout.
Theoretically, this MealMaxer map can significantly reduce the amount of time you would have to spend searching through each of these programs to find restaurants either in the area where you live or where you’re visiting.
I expect that many readers will find it particularly awesome that they can filter to just the programs they care about and see restaurants eligible for the various types of credits or rewards applicable to their situation.
You can alternatively just click around the map on individual restaurants and see at a quick glance which programs each restaurant offers, either by clicking on the restaurant names or scrolling the list of restaurants shown within the map area.
As you can see, the restaurant I selected above is available via inKind, but on the left-hand side you can see other area restaurants, some of which are on both Bilt Neighborhood Dining and Resy, or Bilt Neighborhood Dining and inKind, etc. In some cases, it might be possible to pay through the inKind app in order to use an offer there while simultaneously triggering a Resy credit (I’m not sure if Bilt Dining Rewards can stack). That has worked for me in the past.
The map does have a couple of quirks that are worth knowing about.
First of all, while there is a search bar, and you can search for major cities in the search bar, smaller and secondary cities do not appear in search results, even if they have participating restaurants. Instead, you’ll have to click and drag the map around to wherever you want to search. Then, you can search for specific restaurants or cities that are shown within the boundaries of the part of the map that you’re viewing.
For instance, I have a trip coming up where I will visit Carmel and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. There are some restaurants around Carmel on the various dining platforms, but they don’t show up via the search tool unless I center the map on that area. If I start out in New York, I need to zoom out and drag across the map until I get to California in order to drill down on areas outside of the major cities. Alternatively, I could search for a city like San Francisco or San Jose and then have less dragging to do on the map.
In the overall scheme of things, that’s a small price to pay for what is otherwise a very useful tool.
One other thing to is that the map displays the date it was last updated at the bottom. As I write this post on March 23rd, 2026, the map says it was last updated on February 27th 2026. That seems very recent, but we have seen restaurants being added or removed from some programs (notably with Sapphire Reserve Tables, but probably also with others) without any notification. You’ll therefore want to double-check and make sure that the restaurant you’re looking at is still available via the program that matters to you.
Finally, I should note that if you click around on many different restaurants, you’ll eventually be prompted to enter an email address for future updates. It’s possible to exit out of that if you don’t want to enter an email address. The developer of the tool has been responsive to comments on Reddit, and this is one area where they have taken feedback and made adjustments.

Nick, Try the Loft @ 205 in Albany, great food.
inKind will not stack. It is a closed account. Only the part of the bill not paid with inKind can be applied to a card that stacks.
I’m not sure what you’re saying it will not stack with, but I linked to a post I wrote about triggering a Resy credit while paying through inKind. It can stack.
Hi Nick:
Per your post:
”
The cash part stacked (the tip in this case) — not the $500 you paid for the burger with inKind credit.
there’s been some DPs of CSR exclusive table dining credits triggering when paying through inkind
the tip i think we all can agree that if you charge it directly to the restaurant should trigger all the dining programs
That is exactly my point. inKind is a closed system.
Great article!
Bilt dining stacks with Resy, but not InKind based on a recent visit. I had to pay the Resy part separate from InKind. Is there another way to do this?
Can you publish an article on the other dining programs mentioned? What is Blackbird, Seated, Franki? Thanks!
I think it varies — see the post I wrote. I had it stack in one situation, but not another. Other readers have commented, reporting some successes, but you’re right that paying part separately from inKind would obviously work.
I’m heading to the Monterey Aquarium this week! If you have never been, you should add one of the behind the scenes tours, it is really cool. Plus, I love going to the shows to see the fish get fed 🙂
Yeah, we’ve been a few times before. It’ll be a first visit for our younger son, I think.
That’s awesome, I’m sure he will love it. We’re taking our seven month old daughter for the first time too. I hope she enjoys it as well. I went to the La Brea Tar pits as an adult, and it was pretty cool, who knew so many interesting animals used to roam LA
Is Bilt still just using rewards network? If so would be helpful if they labeled it that way – other programs you could use instead of Bilt (AA Dining for example)
actually good point. let me take a look into that and confirm. gonna look into adding AA dining next
All the airline programs are the same data set — Rewards Network. The returns are the lowest among the dining programs.
added rewards network, ~19k restaurants
Not working.
what’s broken for you? happy to debug
They do not appear. I looked at Dallas.
seems to work for me rn. here’s an imgur link of the search:
imgur . com/a/CGhLRfi
OK tghey are appearing now.
No.
Well someone should tell rewards network then to remove Bilt’s logo from its site, likewise Rakuten dining. Sure seems like they are using rewards network to me, possible they are supplementing beyond rewards network of course.
It’s virtually the same but there are some one offs here and there. By me there is a restaurant we like that’s on Bilt, but Rakuten
Hey Nick, I’m a local here in Monterey and Alejandro’s is great for the Resy credit (toast GC works). Hope you enjoy the Aquarium! I know El Torito is a chain restaurant but has amazing views of the Monterey Bay with lots of active wildlife to watch (otters, seals, etc). They have booth seating next to the windows which is great for families. Good option for the inkind network just used a $20 off $60 there.
Thanks for these tips!
link?

John, I’m in Greece and the search is saying Amex resy credit works here. I thought it didn’t work internationally even if it a resy restaurant.
you are correct. that is an error. it is only for US restaurants—cleaning it up now
Do you use realtime, or at least same day, queries lof gthe source programs for additions/deletions?
it is not realtime. occasionally refreshed every 1-2 weeks. so i always recommend you check the programs directly to verify if the restaurant is still there
eg bilt mobile checkout is constantly changing and its been interesting seeing how its been going up and down
Ideal situation to run a bot (e.g. Claude Code Channels) to update each datasource in the background. The market won’t let you get by with “i always recommend you check the programs directly to verify if the restaurant is still there” for long. I remember my last trip on the Titanic. When I asked “is it really unsinkable” and they said “we recommend you check all the rivets personally”.
Great idea. This is a Google Maps overlay, right?
I’m sorry — I can’t believe I didn’t include that. My apologies. I’ve added it to the post, but here it is again: https://www.nextcard.com/tools/dining-rewards-map
No worries thanks!
