I am currently a top performing AE at Rewards Network and I personally have hundreds of happy restaurant owners working with me. All volume we drive in is tracked and can be accessed through a merchant portal. Rewards Network is not used mostly by companies or organizations. They are regular consumers looking to keep their statuses high with the top loyally brands (Marriott, Hilton, etc.) Working with Rewards Network will not increase fixed expenses and typically will not increase food costs which means each customer is pure profit to the restaurant. 80% of incremental business is better than 0% of zero new business. Yes, Rewards Network will pre-buy the food/bev in advance. This is not a loan. This is like selling 1,000 rice bowls for $15 each instead of only one rice bowl for $20. This is the best way to work with Rewards Network. The little collected from tax & tip is minimal compared to the extra revenue which means you are stepping over dollars to pick up pennies if this is a concern. The dining member is rewarded on the total ticket amount with means they buy more and tip more. The exposure we provided also reaches non-rewards members which means customers that cost you nothing. Each dining member must go through a 3-step process in which they must provide all personal information such as credit card numbers, home address, etc. Most brands require the member to reactivate their card every 45-60 days which shows true attribution. Rewards Network dining members spend 10-15% more than non-members which means the marketing fees are in the single digits. The fees are also a tax write-off. The types of customers we drive-in are high spenders and frequent diners. Not coupon clippers or deal hunters. Even if they are a current customer or someone that happened to come in without knowing of the rewards beforehand, they will be contacted several times after there dine encouraging them to come back more often and spend more. That data speaks for itself and I have plenty of it. Overall, Rewards Network is the largest, most effective restaurant partnership in the US. Companies such as Marriott, Hilton, T-Mobile, and United Airlines would not allow Rewards Network to use their brand names if they were doing anything misleading to small business owners. There is no company that exists and does what Rewards Network does for restaurants. It is a win-win-win for the owner, consumer, and Rewards Network. It either works or it costs you nothing. It is easy for anyone to use the word “scam” when they do not understand something. I am guilty of this myself. I hope this helps shed light on the truth and I am proud of the remarkable success I have brought to the restaurants I work with. Feel free to contact me anytime to discuss the facts in more detail.

NOTE: We did NOT take any advanced money from Rewards Network, opting for a marketing plan that was supposed to bring in new customers. In fact, Rewards Network sold us on the belief that we would see an increase in visitor and tourist dines. What we actually saw was our own customer base dining as regulars, with no extra dining days or dollars spent, just their regular dining pattern, but taking advantage of the program, meaning, we ultimately sabotaged our own revenue. Further, it was never disclosed that they take 20% of the tip revenue left on the credit card as well, leaving us in the hole when paying our servers out. If you are desperate for cash, they are probably a good option. But if you're looking to see an increase in sales, our experience is that it hasn't happened, and we're losing 20% of our revenue to existing customers. It's been a losing battle for us and we're just counting down the days that our contract expires.

Gladly I read these reviews before signing up! Please do your own research about this company and read their contract before you sign.

Worst company ever. They lie, lie, lie! Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company.

I own a restaurant that has been on the Rewards Network platform for over a year now and it has been a very good experience for us. I have seen a lot of negative reviews calling this a scam. I don’t understand why anybody would say that? The program is not free, so yes, it does cost you something, but any worthwhile marketing is probably going to, and this brings high quality customers and great name recognition with top-tier brands like Marriott and Southwest Airlines. The fact that they buy upfront is a huge advantage for us, and for many restaurants. This is not a loan because the money is simply being paid back through customer dines. I would recommend any restaurant give Rewards Network a try and judge for yourself how you enjoy the partnership. We’ve been happy!

I’m not an owner. I’m an employee of Rewards Network. I’ve worked for the company for 6 months. Coming from much larger companies, I can say that I’m impressed by the way our business operates. I’m honored to work for a company with integrity that truly has the best interest of the customer first! Thank you to the over 17,000 restaurant owners that we partner with. We are honored to work with you and grow your business!
