TGIFridays Goldpoints/iDine double dip possible?
 

Does scanning the Goldpoints card supercede the iDine bonus?

i havent found any TGIF that accepts idine. Are there any?

The ones in New York City do; Here they are run by a fast-food conglomerate called Reiese, which is in iDine for their TGIFriday and Houlihans (TGIF/Applebees kinda place) operations. No iDine for their Roy Rogers/Dunkin Donuts joints though.

Have you used the goldpoints card in TGI Fridays here in NYC? I always wondered whether or not the Reise locations participate in the gold points program.

The TGIF's in NYC do not participate in Goldpoints.. I ate at one and they would not accept my GP card, but then got a nice surprise when it posted to iDine. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

I guess I have my answer.

I'll take the iDine then.

IDine definately gives you more than goldpoints, which is basically a useless program. Essentially if you transfer GP to an airline, you get 1/$ (10 pts/$, 5000 pts for 500 miles) instead of 10/$ for iDine. Though, when I eat out in NY, I cannot possibly waste my time/money at TGIF with all the good restaurants there.

When you eat at a TGI Friday's that is franchised and does not participate directly in GoldPoints, simply save the receipt and turn it in at a company owned restaurant. I eat all the time at the TGIF in ATL and it doesn't give Goldpoints. I save the receipt and take it to the TGIF near my office (usually while I am eating lunch myself). They always give me points for the ATL meals.
