(EXPIRED) Targeted InKind offers: up to $100 off of $200

InKind made a play to be my Valentine last week when they sent me a most unexpected targeted offer to get $100 off my next bill of $200 or more by March 31, 2024. I didn’t report this because I had no idea whether others were receiving something similar. As it turns out, Travel With Grant reports also having received an offer from InKind, though his offer was for $25 off of $50. I imagine others may also be targeted, but YMMV as to the level of generosity you may have received.

While I received an email advising me of this offer, I found that it was already waiting in the InKind app under “Rewards”, with no need to activate or opt in. Grant reports the same regarding his offer — it was already appearing under “Rewards” in his app. No action was required beyond choosing that reward during the checkout process as you pay your bill.

To see if you are targeted, simply open the InKind app and click the “Rewards” tab at the bottom.

For those new to InKind, this is essentially an app you can use to settle your bill at select restaurants without waiting for your server to collect (and then return) your credit card. I used it for the first time last month and I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. We’ve seen occasional offers to buy InKind credit at a significant discount (such as the current Citi Merchant Offer, which could get you $65 in credit for $27). I had done a past (long-expired) deal last fall to get $350 in InKind credit for $100 and I picked some referrals (thanks to those who have used our links), so my wife and I enjoyed a very indulgent brunch in Las Vegas last month. At some point, I’ll get around to publishing a post about it, but the short story is that we found it really easy to use InKind.

I do wonder whether that recent restaurant visit is what caused the bigger offer in my case. We didn’t spend an exorbitant amount of money (our bill came to around $150, so a lot for brunch but not unreasonable for Las Vegas as it included a couple of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and both appetizers and dessert). Maybe because it was our first dine we got a bigger offer? Of course, it is highly possible that it was just random luck.

It’s worth mentioning that I think you can’t combine these types of rewards discounts with referral credit — if you use the $100 off of $200 reward, you’ll need to pay the difference with a credit card. Still, I’ll seek out an opportunity to get a hundred bucks off of dinner. Even if you don’t get the big offer than I did, I could imagine that saving $25 on a $50 meal would certainly be appealing to someone in an area with many restaurants on InKind.
