How do I link a card so I can earn with local dining?

In the RaiseRight mobile app, tap the Local Dining icon in the bottom navigation menu. Select “My Cards” to link any existing card(s) in your account, or select “Link a Card” to add details for a new card. Additionally, you can visit Account > Settings > Payment Options to link any existing card(s) in your RaiseRight account to earn with local dining.  

Both credit cards and debit cards can be linked, however debit cards must be run as credit when paying for meals to qualify for earnings at participating restaurants. 
 
Please note: We employ strict, industry-wide safeguards to protect your information, so you can dine and earn worry-free.

Can I link multiple cards?

Yes! You can link multiple cards to earn with local dining. We recommend linking more than one card so you’re less likely to miss out on earnings.

Can I combine local dining earnings with gift cards?

The majority of restaurants available through local dining do not currently offer gift card earnings through RaiseRight, so the only way to earn with local dining is to use your linked credit or debit card to pay for your meals.

Are there any fees or extra costs associated with earning through local dining?

There are no transaction fees or other costs associated with local dining through RaiseRight. Simply link a card, dine, and earn!

Will I earn on the full bill, including tax and tip?

Yes! You will earn on your total bill, which includes tax, tip, and alcohol.

Is there a limit to how much I can earn for a meal?

There might be a limit to how much you can earn per meal. Visit a restaurant's page in the RaiseRight app for Terms & Conditions.

Can I earn with a restaurant more than once?

Yes! You can earn repeatedly from participating restaurants. Depending on the restaurant, there might be a limit on the number of times you can earn in a month, or maximum spending limits. Visit a restaurant’s page in the RaiseRight app for Terms & Conditions.

Can I use the RaiseRight app to order online from restaurants?

No, to earn with local dining, you must place your dine in or takeout order directly with the restaurant and use your linked card to pay for your meal.  

Can I earn by ordering online directly from the restaurant’s website or ordering system?

You earn money for your organization when you place an order with your linked card directly through the restaurant. Please note that many restaurants use a third-party online ordering system, which does not qualify for earnings.

Where can I see my earnings from local dining?

Visit Account > Order History > Local Dining in the RaiseRight app to find your local dining earnings. Earnings will display within 7 days after an eligible dining experience.

When will my organization receive my earnings from local dining?

It can take 45-100 days for local dining earnings to transfer to your organization. (RaiseRight earning payouts occur on the first Monday of each month if combined earnings for the organization meet the $20 minimum. If combined earnings for the organization in a month are less than $20, earnings will roll over into the following month’s payout.)

Will I still receive credit card points while earning through local dining?

Yes! With local dining through RaiseRight, you can receive credit card rewards and earn for your organization on the same transaction.

Can I use the same credit card to earn with other dining-related rewards programs?

No, a card can only be linked to one dining program at a time. Your card will be automatically removed from local dining through RaiseRight if you link it to another card linked dining program. If you want to participate in another program, we recommend that you use a different card.

How often are new restaurants added?

Why should I write a restaurant review through local dining?
