How do I receive contributions from dining?

• You receive contributions by dining at participating restaurants and paying with a credit card that you have registered in your Upromise account. There's no need to identify yourself as a Upromise member to the participating restaurant.
• To receive your contribution, be sure to pay your bill with a credit card that you have registered in your Upromise account.
• Not all restaurants accept all credit cards. The cards accepted at any given restaurant are generally listed in the Credit Cards section of the restaurant information page. If you are in doubt about a restaurant's card acceptance, please call the restaurant directly.
• You can find information about contributions at any participating restaurant, including restrictions if any, by clicking on the name of the restaurant on the restaurant search results page or on the 'click here to get details' link.

Can I receive Upromise Dining Program contributions as well as other dining program rewards from Rewards Network?

No, to be eligible for contributions from Upromise dining restaurants, your credit card cannot be registered with any other dining program administered by Rewards Network. If your card is already registered in another dining program and you would like it activated for use in the Upromise Dining Program, please call Upromise Customer Care. Approximately two business days after your credit card has been removed from the other program, you can use it in the Upromise Dining Program to start receiving contributions.
