A seismic shift is underway in the world of fine dining reservations. Resy, the acclaimed restaurant booking platform, is joining forces with Tock, a name synonymous with exclusive culinary experiences and exceptional wineries, this summer.
This isn’t simply an acquisition; it’s an expansion of epic proportions. The combined network will boast a staggering 25,000 venues, instantly unlocking a universe of possibilities for diners seeking unforgettable meals and immersive wine tastings.
For those who strategically utilize American Express dining credits through Resy, this merger translates to a significant benefit. Thousands of new locations will become eligible for those statement credits, maximizing their value and opening doors to previously inaccessible experiences.
Tock has long been the go-to platform for securing reservations at some of the nation’s most celebrated restaurants. Imagine gaining access, through Resy, to culinary institutions like Alinea in Chicago, Atomix in New York City, and the legendary Lazy Bear in San Francisco.
The integration extends beyond restaurants, encompassing over 1,200 wineries. Picture yourself exploring the vineyards of Heitz Cellar in California’s Napa Valley, or savoring the unique terroir of Antica Terra in Oregon’s Willamette Valley – all bookable through a single, streamlined platform.
Resy already held a strong position in the U.S. dining scene, but the addition of Tock’s curated selection of fine dining establishments, ticketed events, and winery experiences elevates it to a new level of sophistication, particularly for discerning travelers.
The implications for American Express cardholders are substantial. Several cards currently offer Resy dining credits, triggered by enrollment and payment with an eligible card. Soon, Tock venues will join the list of eligible establishments, expanding credit utilization opportunities.
While some credit limitations may apply – particularly regarding U.S. restaurants and prepaid experiences – the overall effect is clear: more choices, more value, and more opportunities to enjoy exceptional dining without impacting your budget.
Consider the American Express Platinum Card, offering up to $400 in annual dining credits, or the Gold Card with $100 in credits. Even the Delta SkyMiles cards provide monthly credits, all of which will benefit from this expanded network.
This merger isn’t just about adding restaurants; it’s about enriching the entire dining experience. It’s about unlocking access to exclusive events, discovering hidden gems, and maximizing the benefits already available to American Express cardholders.
The combination of Resy and Tock represents a powerful synergy, strengthening the value of American Express’s lifestyle perks and transforming the way we discover and experience the world of fine dining and wine.
Ultimately, this is a win for diners. More venues, more experiences, and more opportunities to turn a reservation into a rewarding statement credit – a truly elevated dining landscape awaits.
