We know that there are certain cards where you earn bonus points for restaurant spending. In fact, you can learn a lot about these cards here.
However, be careful, if you are traveling overseas, some cards only offer bonus points when you use them at U.S restaurants. It seems as if American Express rewards you for only dining in the good old USA. The American Express Gold Card, Hilton Honors American Express card, the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass card and the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card only offer the dining bonus in U.S Restaurants. The other cards, namely those offered thru Chase, Citi and Barclays, on the dining bonus list, reward you with bonus points at any restaurant.
Bon Appétit but not with your Amex!
Note, as of June 6, 2019, the American Express Gold Card offers 4x bonus points at restaurants WORLDWIDE.
