Cariño — FAQ

Is Cariño part of Amex dining?

Yes — dining at Cariño in Chicago, United States counts towards the Resy credit, the dining credit on US-issued American Express Platinum and Gold cards. It is one of the Tock restaurants the credit has applied at since 15 September 2026: Resy lists it, and it is booked on Tock. It is not on the Platinum Global Dining Credit, which cards issued outside the US carry.

Does Cariño count towards the Amex Resy credit?

Yes. Cariño is on Resy's list of restaurants that qualify for the Resy credit, the dining benefit on US-issued American Express cards: the Platinum Card (up to $100 a quarter, $400 a year) and the Gold Card (up to $100 a year). To use it, enrol the credit in your Amex account, then pay the bill with that card at Cariño in Chicago, United States. Cariño books through Tock, not Resy — reserve on Tock — and since 15 September 2026 the credit applies at selected Tock restaurants like it. It is not the Platinum Global Dining Credit that cards from other countries carry, and cards issued outside the US do not get it.
