Anyone know whether TGIF will transfer GoldPoints into whatever program they roll out?? Sure would make things easier and shed some good will among TGIF customers?????

I am a member of goldpointsplus. As far as I know, my points will contintue to be redeemable for hotel rooms.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

If you were able to convert your Goldpoints into goldpointsplus, then you're ok.
If you're still stuck with goldpoints, well, your stuck with goldpoints. :mad:

That's the last my family will see of tgifridays. Plenty of choices to eat in this category.

Well, I was hoping to burn my GoldPoints eating at Fridays' on my layovers(after all, all airport food is pretty crappy). So are you saying that the airlines locations don't redeem or award GoldPoints? That would really :td:

Is April 1 the last day to burn GPs at Fridays? Or does that continue in the "redemption-only" program?

March 31st is the change to redemption-only, then at some undisclosed date in the future (accoring to the TGIF website), they will cease to accept GoldPoints.

Thanks!

Today I received information from Goldpointsplus that my account did indeed transfer over without a hitch.
It would have been nice to receive an email from them months ago before being caught off guard.
Especially as they had my latest email information for a year now.
But after all the former Goldpoints ran the most dysfunctional program in the business.
Lets hope the new one does a better job
sigh

I got $25 Amazon card, and transfer the 1000+ into AsiaMiles. Not ideal, but at least keep my AsiaMiles account alive.

I've never had a hitch with goldpoints posting properly from the Friday's in DCA and DFW.

Miles posted today...3,500 UA miles for 28K goldpoints.

Go to the TGIF home page. Looks like the start of a new program roll out. No specifics but option to sign up for email notification for program and specials.
Best yet! Sign up for TGIF emails and get a free appetizer! Still have 1310 Goldpoints left which I'll use 1250 for appetizer. Throw in a Happy Hour and it makes for start of a night out.

So I finally made it to a TGIF...
 

The food is not that great. I ended up ordering 2 appetizers and a desert, and what would've costed me $27 (which I would never have paid for the food) ended up burning 3750 GoldPoints. The bartender (the order was to-go) had to ask the manager to do it, but the pain from the wait was minimal (unlike the stomach pains I experienced afterwards)...:p

Since I was like 300 points short for a gift card I did the points.com transfer thing into my mostly dormant AAdvantage account.

So that netted me about 600 miles on an 8500 point transfer. Poor ratio I know but I wanted out asap. That keeps my AA account active. :)

The only thing I used Gold Points for was TGI Fridays because their wings taste wise were best paying nothing for.

FYI and I don't know if it's posted earlier but the TGI's at EWR did happily accept the GoldPoints card for redemption and earning. They are both at Terminal A... one pre security (a bigger restaurant) and one at Terminal A by Gates 10-18, the United gates.

When it's 6 in the morning and you want something just to sit in your stomach the TGI's alleged bacon and egg omelet suited ok.

Curious to see what the new TGI frequency program will be.

Thanks...I had been asking about this earlier ^

I remember going to that TGIF and ACTUALLY paying, which sucks. Next time I pass through it will be on GoldPoints :cool:

Anyone know if there is one in Houston, Atlanta, or Miami?
