why would a typical customer try to get a free meal by spending exactly $150 than have a $300 meal for $150?
Maybe not but the list is quite small and not a list that customers might regularly go to (especially in NYC where there are a ton of restaurant options overall). If customers feel this is taking up a lot of their spots without getting much in return, they may drop the program if the terms allow. There are also a lot of CSR cardholders in NYC for a very small number of restaurants (along with CSR cardholders visiting) so they could start to get overloaded with customers using the credit. For Amex with their Resy credit it's different - it's all restaurants on the Resy platform (which is quite large - hundreds if not thousands of restaurants in NYC).
