But post-pandemic dining has become so expensive, or maybe it’s just that our income has not caught up with the rising costs of goods and services. How to have our cake and eat it too? Well, I discovered the many ways we can eat more and yet spend less if we pay with the right credit card. Sharing below the top 7 places we now frequent to feast with family and friends where we can enjoy paying just a fraction of the total.

Texas Roadhouse
It’s no exaggeration when I say that just from the complimentary peanuts and warm bread with cinnamon butter, served as soon we were seated, we already won when we chose this restaurant. Add that to the 50 percent off on total bill when you dine on Fridays, all day, and pay with your Security Bank Platinum Rewards and World Mastercard credit card, and that’s bagging a dining lottery. Note you must spend at least P3,000 to claim the offer that runs until August 25.

I admit it’s not easy to stay on top of the many credit card offers. I used to do a quick Google search to check if the restaurant where we were dining has any offer before paying, but it does not always get you the right results, and sometimes the restaurant even needs to be informed about the offer.

Terms and conditions can also be tricky, and the last thing you want to do is to go there and find out the promotion is not available on that day or time, or has ended. My hack? I try and organize the offers by day whenever I get a message from credit card companies so I can also make a smarter choice where to go when we have to dine out. Be intentional instead of choosing a restaurant last-minute so you never miss out on irresistible deals that will you let you dine more while paying less.
