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.

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. Also, you earn 20% back of the total amount that you spend out of pocket that can be used for future purchases. Unlike other apps that mark up restaurant prices (ex.

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.

Here's my referral link:

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.
My link in case someone wants to use: app.inkind.com/refer/IYNYHIKE
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.
Hey! Join inKind and you'll get $25 to spend at amazing restaurants! https://app.inkind.com/refer/GP7OWWHR
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

Literally everybody likes food and money; to "truly like inkind" is vacuous
