Frequently Asked Questions (Slide 1 of 4)
• Q. Why do I have to register a credit/debit card with GoodDining Program?
• A. Our goal with the GoodDining Program is to provide members with an easy-to-use rewards program that is totally discreet. We have special processing technology that tracks the use of credit and debit cards registered with us when they're used at participating restaurants, bars and clubs.
We can then track members' spending and automatically deposit donations into the designated GoodDining account. This way, there are no ID cards to present or coupons to clip. The restaurant, bar or club will not know about you earning donations. Please note that the GoodDining Program will never charge your credit/debit card without your permission. You may review our Privacy Policy here.
