I am an inKind Pass subscriber and was able to use my $50 monthly benefit with my inKind Cash balance to pay for dinner last night. I was surprised because I read all the complaints when they changed their policy to disallow combining promo offers with your inKind Cash.
I'm guessing maybe they are allowing this because we are paying $9.99 per month and this is one of the few benefits of being a subscriber.
>A tool for finding all inKind, Bilt, Blackbird, Resy, Rakuten, Franki, Seated, DoorDash dining out, etc restaurants + discovering stacking opportunities to save money on eating out

I came up with this tool idea after trying to figure out the best ways to not only find inKind restaurants, but to also find stacking opportunities to save money.
eg I have a Sapphire Reserve, so trying to find the restaurants in both inKind & OpenTable Exclusive Tables was a very manual + painful process
MealMaxxer aggregates restaurants in the following 11 dining rewards programs:
You can toggle between "In any" and "In all" to selectively find restaurants that are in any program vs all the selected programs. That said, some stacks may not be directly possible if you pay the entire bill within inKind, but that may warrant YMMV discussions below

I checked that the restaurant was listed on the InKind app and had lunch at the restaurant. When we asked the server they said they have been given instructions by the restaurant management to decline InKind payment specifically and do not have an explanation. The manager of the restaurant refused to accept InKind payment too. They simply held out the card reader and said we had the option of credit card payment or cash payment. When asked about InKind payment they made a vague statement about technical issues and told us that it is not available. I requested them to give it a shot but they simply did not budge.
We are visiting San Diego, CA in the near future and we’re wondering what some of everybody’s favorites are on inKind. I like to cross reference with the Eater 38 lists but the only one on both lists (I think) was Matsu up in Oceanside.
