Has anyone done the new round of promotional shops?
I just saw the current round. Unfortunately, not loving the promotional items enough to try it. I guess for breakfast it would be okay but that's a lot of sweet stuff! If you were going anyway and were inclined to order that I would do it. But with no pay and only reimbursement. Not interested as the promotional items are something I wouldn't order anyway.
Yes. Even if you get water, you'll likely have to go over reimbursement to tip even 15%. $14 pre-tax for donut holes! Fried dough. Really? Report is super-easy, though. It's all about the promotion, not timings or service as most food shops are.

Is that including the pancakes or burger and donut holes? The way I was reading it you had to purchase either the pancakes or burger and donut holes or milkshake and a drink but water was okay. My question is does a milkshake count as a drink?
The way I read it you order 3 items. Pancakes or burger, milkshake or cinnas and any beverage

Did a Goggle search and found this:
New! Cinna Minions (Side Order). $5.99
Gru's Evil Steakburger. $14.99
New! Ba-Ba Banana Milkshake - IHOP
$4.29 | 740 Calories. Vanilla milkshake blended with fresh bananas & NILLA® wafer cookie pieces, topped with whipped topping
$9.49 for the cheapest pancake combo
Where are you getting the $14 pre-tax amount for the Cinna Minions?

It was on the menu promo menu as a side order where I went, $13.99 specifically.

I'm doing it tomorrow morning. More concerned about the "deposit slip" aspect and asking about it. I'm positive that nobody at the restaurant will have a clue about the promotion for the International Bank of Pancakes.
I suggest telling them that you saw something about it on social media. Or if the ages work properly, tell them that your child or grandchild said something about it to you when you mentioned that you were going to IHOP.That way you don't have to know much about it and it will be believable.

It's their rewards app. They should know about it if you ask.
I just looked through my e-mail and I did not see any listed.. Guess I am not sign up with the right company..
I eat there regularly. The deposit slip is extra paper that prints with your receipt.

I did one last month. Worst restaurant experience I've ever had. When I asked about the deposit ticket they said their location doesn't participate and I would have to go to a different one if I wanted to join. This one was approved.
I have another one scheduled this week at a different location and I hope the food is at least worth it!

They will. If not offered you ask about the reward club and the server should bring the form you send in with your report.
It was one of the easiest restaurant shops I have ever done. No comments on the food, no timings., We ordered the banana pancakes, the burger with all that junk on it, the 10 minions, a coke and a coffee and with the tax, it was 29.14
The server had n idea about a deposit slip for hte rewards but as I left I asked someone else and he gave me two.

I did this shop today and made a mistake! ???? I got too excited about the Cinna Minions and ate some before taking the pic. I confessed and explained it in the comments and I hope it doesn't get denied. It makes me mad because I told my husband before we got out of the car not to eat anything until I took pics. I will say the burger wasn't bad sans the jalapenos. I was scared of those.

Uh-oh! They're usually pretty reasonable. However, you're not supposed to modify any of the menu items.

Thankfully I remembered that part! I actually picked them off before I ate the burger.
Guess I have to sign up with more MSC companies

Have you used the forum's search function? An easy hint is contained in one of the top threads.
Use the search box that says "Enhanced by Google", and not the box under "Search messages". Just type IHOP.
Once you figure it out, search NY 11704 and there are a couple currently on the board.
Doh! the sole IHOP near me is pick up only.

Thanks.
I did a search for shops for 7-26 to 7-28 and I saw about 55 shops listed.. I saw a few retail stores listed and a couple of burger shops listed..
But I did not go through all 55 of them.

They approved the shop even though I ate some of the cinna minions before taking the pic! I was honest and explained what I did rather then let them think the restaurant shorted the order. Yippee!

I did that once, and in a really expensive restaurant. Everything looked so fancy, we just dug into the appetizer, forgetting the required pictures. I had to order another appetizer to get for the pictures. Cost us $18. but I had to do it.
..
On two occasions at pricey restaurants, I have forgotten to take the pictures and had to redo the entire shop. However, if I had gone to eat somewhere on my own dine, it would have cost me anyway. I chalked it up to experience and have never forgotten pictures at those restaurants again
It's part of the cost of shopping sometimes.

Same! I've made a few mistakes here and there given I'm relatively new and hopefully I won't make the same mistake twice! Since I started MSing, we have an $0 budget now for dining out.
I forgot to take a photo of an appetizer once before starting to eat it. I took a photo of what was left and was going to see if it would be okay. Then, what luck, the table behind us ordered the same app and the waiter plunked it down next to our table on one of those holding table trays. I snapped the photo before it was delivered..Saved the day! Waiter probably thought I was cookoo or instagraming..who cares. It took 3 seconds as I had the phone all ready to go.

This is great!! I take pics of my food all the time if it is delicious or pretty to share with my daughters and don't feel the least bit awkward, but let someone pay me to take pics and I'm so nervous!
I did one as there’s a location around the corner. The banana pancakes themselves were pretty good but the artificially colored “pudding” was vile. I’d do another if the required items seemed appealing.
