Promo: If you’re new to InKind, follow this link to get $25 off your first dining experience of $50+
I’ve written in the past about InKind, my favorite dining rewards app. InKind has just introduced an improved refer a friend bonus, so I want to cover those details in this post.
In this post:
InKind’s generous refer a friend bonus offer
InKind has a generous refer a friend program. Ordinarily, when you refer a friend to InKind and they complete their first dining purchase of $50+ (before tax, tip, etc.), you each get a $25 bonus to use toward a future dining experience.
We’ve just seen a limited time offer introduced, at least through some accounts. Through June 30, 2025, the person referring another person to InKind gets $50 for the referral, while the person being referred still gets $25. So of course this improved offer benefits the person referring more than the person being referred. However:
- The $25 bonus for the person being referred is as good as offers with the program get
- Once you’re referred, you can also start referring others, and be rewarded in that way
You can find my refer a friend link here, and others are welcome to leave their link in the comments section as well.
Why I love the InKind dining app
There are many dining rewards apps out there, though I’d argue that InKind is in a league of its own when it comes to the quality of restaurants, plus the level of rewards offered.
The major downside to InKind is that the network of restaurants isn’t that huge, at least outside of major cities. In total, InKind has over 3,750 participating restaurants around the United States, with many being in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, etc.
InKind offers a flat 20% back in rewards on all dining spending. It’s not like other apps, in the sense that it doesn’t matter when you dine or how you make a reservation. You just trigger the rewards by paying through the app while at the restaurant, and it couldn’t be easier.
InKind also often sells credits at a huge discount, so you can legit score massive discounts on great restaurants. Living in Miami, some of the restaurants I most frequent belong to InKind — Chug’s, Michael’s Genuine, Otto & Pepe, etc.
If you dine out and live in a city that has InKind, you’re missing out by not joining. It’s funny, I often have friends who are hesitant or put off joining, and then when they finally do join, they can’t stop telling me how much they love it, and how they can’t believe they took so long to sign-up. For more details, see my guide to the InKind dining app.
Bottom line
InKind is an awesome dining rewards app that I use constantly. If you’re considering referring friends, it appears that through June 30, 2025, InKind is offering double the rewards. Ordinarily, when you refer someone and they make a $50 purchase, you each receive a $25 reward. With this offer, the person referring gets $50, while the person being referred gets $25.

Ive found InKind to be an amazing dining app. There are so many ways to save- with InKind gift cards often 30-40% off at Costco. Sometimes there are good Amex and Citi credit card offers for reloading InKind. The worst you can do is earning 20% cash back from InKind if you are paying with a card. InKind charges always code as dining/restaurant for me.

InKind charges always code as dining/restaurant for me.
There are also InKind in app offers as well ranging from $10 off 30 to $50 off 100 (which stack). Sometimes in kind will send me a 2 minute survey for an easy $10 award. I find that whenever I go to a new city, In Kind is the first app I check for dining. Paying is seamless- you order as normal and when you pay the check you just enter the check number in App. it also makes splitting the bill very easy. Its not painful like using a coupon, Groupon, or entertainment.com certificate. As its just a payment method it can also double stack with the restaurants loyalty program if they have one. Ive used InKind maybe 100 times with great success. I personally have never had an issue with double charges, mistakes etc, and so far I have not encountered a server who didnt know about InKind. its nice that you dont have to wait for them to bring your card back, you just pay in app, let them know, and head out. Its better in cities and I can vouch for great restaurants in NYC, DC, Philly, Phoenix etc.
If you found any of this info helpful, I would sincerely appreciate it if you used my referral link so I can keep on dining at InKind restaurants!

I have used inKind for the last 6 months and on three occasions I've had issues with the app, the worst being I was charged double the amount and there was no assistance available at the time of sale. I followed up with customer service to make things right after the fact, but it did take some time and effort and soured me on using the app for future purposes since there have been bugs....
I have used inKind for the last 6 months and on three occasions I've had issues with the app, the worst being I was charged double the amount and there was no assistance available at the time of sale. I followed up with customer service to make things right after the fact, but it did take some time and effort and soured me on using the app for future purposes since there have been bugs. When it works it is awesome and when it doesn't it is super frustrating, so just be aware that there are problems users have faced.
I've learned that some newly added restaurants also offer inkind bonuses on their website. Check the app for locations that are newly added and use the filter.
You get $25 off your first resturant visit when you spend $50 (not including tax and tip) or more from inKind as a sign up bonus. On top of that I will gift you $25 in inkind credit if you redeem the offer and close out your first...

You get $25 off your first resturant visit when you spend $50 (not including tax and tip) or more from inKind as a sign up bonus. On top of that I will gift you $25 in inkind credit if you redeem the offer and close out your first bill over $50 by 6/30. $25 from inKind and $25 from me, for $50 total. After 6/30 you will still get $25 from Inkind but I won't be able give you the extra $25 because their extra bonus promotion ends. If you have a Costco membership you can also double dip by buying discounted inkind gift cards, so you save even more.

inKind is a great app to use. They regularly give you deals for money off and continue to add new great restaurants to their portfolio to dine at.

My family is able to dine out more frequently as each time we dine out we spend less with the various incentives offered through inKind.

Have used the app for 2-3 years since it's launched. I recommend stocking up on credit when Costco has it at 30% off. You can then stack that discounted credit with more $X off $Y offers in the app.

What was the reason again that Tim Dunn was suspended and Arps wasn't?
Oh no, you wanna ban me?
Everybody, please stop with your referral links.
Why one earth would somebody use your link instead of Ben's?
You could be (and probably are) a total loser while Ben works tirelessly on this blog, has posted multiple times literally every day for the last 17 years, and deserves the referral credits.
I guess you missed the very last line of the article where Ben encouraged others to share their referral links
That's akin to a host telling you as a guest to "make yourself at home." It's a verbal expression of courtesy, not meant to be taken literally. Do you think Ben actually wants you not to give him the referral credit?
im a fan of in kind i use it once a month just wish there were more restaurants in my area, if you used my code would be great and appreciated.

STOP! Do not use this link. Use Ben's link in the post.
You even agree you can barely use InKind because you don't have many restaurants in your area. Ben has plenty of restaurants in his area. Could it be that he lives in a cosmopolitan area while you are a basement dweller in flyover country?
If anyone would like to use my referral code, I would really appreciate it!

STOP! Do not use this link. Use Ben's link in the original post.
You gave no reason to use this link which diverts referral credit to an anonymous rando (you) as opposed to hardworking and well-deserving Ben.
Love the InKind app cuz it has actually good restaurants that I frequently want to go to in it's network.

STOP! Do not use this link. Use Ben's link in the original post.
Although maybe you could use the $25 credit for remedial grammar class. It's worth it.
I truly like inkind
