ResyCredit

Went to a Resy spot just to burn my leftover credit and only found out at the end they don’t even take Amex. That one hurt. Amex basically shrugged and said sorry, nothing we can do. The food and service were fine, no issue there. It just feels like these card perks are getting...

Ate at a Resy restaurant in LA and noticed the Amex Platinum Resy credit never posted. Waited a bit, then reached out via chat. Agent told me the charge wasn’t eligible because it was processed through a “TST third party electronic payment mode.” That explanation honestly made...

Prime No 7 in Astoria used to be a great Resy option for the Amex credits, but the owner told me they’re not taking Amex anymore. Too many people were eating a ton, then filing chargebacks with Amex, and he said he lost around $4800 in just a couple months. Kinda sad, especially...

Used my Platinum card for $90 at a Resy spot in September and got the full credit, no issue. Then mid-October, I spent about $200 at another participating restaurant but only got $10 back instead of $100. Anyone else seeing this? Wondering if it’s just delayed or if Amex counted...

Had dinner at Hog Island Oyster Co. in SF, not on Resy, but they use ToastTab. Used my Amex Gold for the 4x points and was surprised the Resy credit kicked in two days later. Gonna try with my Platinum next. If you’re in an area with no Resy restaurants, maybe check ToastTab...

Totally forgot to activate my Resy benefit before a $200 dinner on Sept 29. First agent said there was nothing they could do, but I called back and the next one totally understood and gave me the $100 credit anyway. She even helped me check all my other perks. Lesson learned...

Went to Tribute Pizza (one of the Resy restaurants) in San Diego on Sept 30. The table next to me was also using their Amex credit, and the server said they sold over $20k in online gift cards before even opening that day. Wild how much traffic that credit brings in.

Quick heads up, the Lulu & Resy credits reset quarterly and don’t roll over. Q3 ends Sept 30, so make sure to use them this week. My wife and I are putting ours toward a dinner this weekend.

Tried to use my $150 Resy credit at Heirloom Farmhouse Kitchen in Irvine. Booked through Resy, but the charge posted as “Marriott Irvine Spectrum” under travel instead of dining. Called Amex and they said no credit since it’s registered as Marriott, not a restaurant. Agent...
