Dining credits on credit cards

Dining credits give you statement credit for food purchases — restaurants, meal delivery, sometimes groceries. They are the most common credit to leave half-used, because monthly ones reset whether you ordered in or not.

Cards with dining credits offer up to $325/yr each, totaling $2,415/yr across 14 credits in our catalog.
