Merchant FAQs

How much is deducted from the dining bill?

All of the offers represent at least a main course or a main course equivalent.

  • If your offer is for a complimentary main course when another is purchased, deduct the least expensive main course up to the maximum value stated on your offer. If only one main course and one entree are ordered, deduct the entree as though it was the least expensive main course.
  • If your offer is for 25% off the total bill, deduct 25% off the total bill, up to the maximum value of your offer.
When adults and children dine together, do I deduct the children's meals?

When two or more adults dine with children, the least expensive adult main course is complimentary. However, if only one adult dines with a child, deduct the child's main course.
