Pro Tips

  • Verify eligible restaurants before booking
  • Use the card carrying the benefit at the restaurant
  • Track each semi-annual window separately
  • Keep reservation and payment receipts

Confirm Eligibility

Fine dining credits are not generic restaurant credits. Check the card benefit page for the eligible restaurant list, reservation channel, and semi-annual window.

How to Use

  • Pick an eligible restaurant for the current benefit period.
  • Reserve through the required channel if the terms specify one.
  • Pay the restaurant charge with the card carrying the credit.
  • Keep the receipt and reservation confirmation.
  • Track the statement credit before the period ends.

Practical Use

  • Use the credit for a planned meal instead of trying to force a deposit.
  • If the restaurant takes a prepaid deposit, confirm whether it is processed by the restaurant or a reservation platform.
  • Keep each semi-annual window separate.

Avoid

  • Assuming any upscale restaurant qualifies
  • Paying through an unsupported reservation or gift-card platform
  • Relying on a cancelled reservation to preserve value
  • Splitting payment in a way that makes the charge hard to track
