Eating out

[Jeff]

As long as you ate at a Upromise Dining restaurant and used a credit card that you've registered with us, then you should receive the reward back to your account in approximately two weeks. And since you dined between 4/15 and 6/30, that does qualify for the survey promotion.

I am new to this. Where can I find lists of stores, restaurants, etc. by zip code? Thanks!

[Jeff]

Hey SeattleMama, welcome to the Community.  To find restaurants by zip code, check out the Upromise Dining page: www.upromise.com/dining

And also take a look at one of our newest partners, restaurant.com, which offers restaurant gift certificates at significant discounts.  For instance, you can typically purchase $25 certificates for $10.  And right now through Sunday, 9/28/08, restaurant.com is offering certain gift certificates at 60% off.  That's a $25 gift certificate for only $4.

Be sure to start here -- www.upromise.com/restaurantdotcom -- and use promo code FESTIVE at checkout.

Enjoy!  And let me know if you have any questions about our dining programs.

So sad I do not any any options for the dining coupons.  Wonder when National chains will ever join?

Chazee1,

I was a member of Rewards Network with Delta for many years before finding UPromise.  It's my experience that the big national chains don't participate with the exception of a very few.  Most of the restaurants who participate are the privately owned establishments which do a good business.  If business starts to slacken, they stop participating because the money you get actually comes out of the proprietor's pocket.  You'd think the national chains could afford to participate, but they probably have to pay their stock holders instead.
