Restaurant Rewards Cards for Max and Erma's and Olga's Kitchen

Are They All They Are Cracked Up to Be?

Are you a frequent diner at a chain restaurant like Max and Erma's or Olga's Kitchen in the midwest? If so, have you thought about signing up for their frequent diner programs?

Max and Erma's frequent diner program is called, "Good Neighbor Rewards." The program is tiered, which means the more you dine at Max and Erma's the larger the discount you receive. Just for registering your card online you will receive $2 credited to your card for your next visit to the restaurant. After five visits to Max and Erma's you will enjoy a 5% discount, afteryour twenty-third visit you will receive a 10% discount, and after your forty-seventh and subsequent visits you will receive a 15% discount. Your reward tier is based on your previous years visits. So, for January 2010 if you have visited Max and Erma's ten times in 2009 you will start the year off with a 5% discount and your visit count will be reset to 0.

When you register your "Good Neighbor" card online and provide your email address you will enjoy periodic emails from Max and Erma's providing you with extra rewards. The rewards may be anything from a free appetizer to free chocolate chip cookies for dessert, or possibly even an additional discount of $5 off of your meal during your next visit.

The "Olga's Rewards" frequent diner program is slightly different from Max and Erma's "Good Neighbor" program. Upon registering your card with Olga's Kitchen you will receive $5 credited to the card for use during your next visit. After reaching $50 spent on meals at Olga's with your card you will receive a $5 credit to your card for use during your next visit. By registering your card you will also be signing up to receive emails that will provide you with coupons for $5 off of your next visit or other meal specials being offered at the restaurant.

I have both the Max and Erma's "Good Neighbor" and Olga's Kitchen "Olga's Rewards" cards. I am very happy with the money savings that both of the cards have provided me for two of my favorite restaurants. I personally wish that more of my favorite chain restaurants offered similar programs.

So, if you are a fan of Max and Erma's or Olga's Kitchen stop in for a meal and while you are there sign up for their frequent diner programs, I'm sure you will be happy you did!
