Gift certificates are also disallowed under the Idine standard terms.
Does anyone know if this is still the case (for banquets - obviously the gift certificate restriction is long gone)? I am planning a June banquet event at a Chicago restaurant and was considering whether to actually say something re: RN to the banquet manager as they only offer rewards on Su-W. My actual event would be on a Monday so I needn't say anything but I'd like the deposit to also be credited on a valid day. Alternatively I could purchase a gift card up to the monthly earning limit if they allow gift card redemption for banquet payment.
Thoughts?
Many thanks.
