Earn up to 30% Cash Back AND Miles While Dining Out or Filling Up

Earning miles via the different airline dining portals has always been one of our favorite ways to earn miles on everyday spend. There are several different ways in which you can now visit many of those same restaurants and stack offers to earn cash back at the same time. Utilizing these on top of a credit card with a bonus category spend on restaurants or gas can makes these even more attractive.

Here are some of our favorite ways to multiply your rewards for places you may already be visiting.

Seated - If you live in or traveling to New York, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, or Philadelphia you can use the Seated App to book reservations or earn rewards on Walk In reservations and earn up to 29% back in gift cards on your pre tip total just for dining at one of the participating restaurants. Sign up and use promo code brad682 to get and additional $15 reward on your first Seated meal of $40 or more. This means with just this promo, if you spend $50 at a restaurant offering a 29% reward, you can get a gift card for $29.50 on your first booking. These rewards can be redemed for Uber, Amazon, Starbucks, Wayfair, StubHub, Adidas, Nordstom, Sephora, Nike, Hotels.com, Itunes, H&M, Target, lululemon, Airbnb, Macys, Crate&Barrel, REI, CB2, AMC, Delta, Dunkin, LL Bean, Lands End, Athleta, Petco, 1800 Flowers, Ulta, Bed Bath and Beyond, Barnes and Noble, Bath and Body Works, Showtime, CVS, and TJ Maxx gift cards. This is by far one of the most lucrative dining offers out there and is not to be missed. Simply find a restaurant on the app, make a reservation or chose the walk in option, upload your receipt after dining and start earning. Be sure to lock in the $15 sign up bonus now, as previous offers have been less. Once you sign up you will lock in your bonus and have at least until the end of 2023 to complete your first dine.

UpSide - UpSide is another cash back program that you can use at many gas stations, restaurants, and even some retail stores throughout the country. We have found many restaurants on the UpSide app are on the dining portals as well making this an excelent stack. I have found the cash back on gas along with extra bonuses to be a great way to quickly rack up cash back. Sign up at this link and use our promo code EXJEX for an EXTRA $.15 / gallon cash back on your next fill up. You can cash out directly to a bank account or to many different gift cards with this program once your balance reaches $15.

Dosh - Sign up and Download Dosh and add your credit and debit cards to receive automatic cash back on purchases at many restaurants. Many of the restaurants on Dosh seem to also be on the airline dining portals, but Dosh runs on a different platform and thus is typically stackable with airline dining portals as well as Seated and UpSide.

If you are not in one of the cities that Seated is in, we have found that many times it is possible to stack dining portal rewards, UpSide, and Dosh, meaning you can earn actual cash back of a combined 12% AND up to 5 miles per dollar. It doesn’t cost anything to join any of these programs, so it is a win-win.
