Points and miles beginner’s guide: Dining rewards programs

Nearly every loyalty program mentioned in this guide offers a dining rewards program. You simply sign up, register your credit card, and receive points when you dine at select restaurants within the network. Keep in mind that while you can register for every single one of these programs, you cannot register a single card with more than one program.

You will earn bonus points on your first dine, usually when you spend $25 or more. See below for a list of Dining Rewards Programs and their bonus point offers.
