American Express is reportedly set to expand its Resy dining platform significantly this summer by merging it with Tock, a competing restaurant and winery booking service. For cardholders who carry Amex cards with Resy dining credits, the practical result could be thousands of new venues where those statement credits become usable. Here is what travelers and cardholders should know before the integration rolls out.
What Is the Resy and Tock Merger?
Resy has long served as American Express’s proprietary restaurant reservation platform, available through its own app and website. Tock is a separate booking platform widely recognized in the fine dining world for its prepaid tasting menus, ticketed culinary experiences, and winery reservation tools.
According to American Express, the two platforms are expected to merge this summer. Once complete, Tock venues will reportedly become bookable directly through Resy’s app and website. The standalone Tock app and exploretock.com are expected to be retired as part of the transition.
The combined platform is expected to add more than 25,000 restaurants, wineries, and hospitality venues to the Resy ecosystem, meaningfully broadening the network that eligible Amex cardholders can tap into.
Notable Venues Expected to Join Resy
Tock is known for hosting some of the most acclaimed and difficult-to-book dining experiences in the country. Among the high-profile restaurants and wineries expected to become part of the Resy network once the integration is complete:
Fine Dining Restaurants
- Alinea in Chicago
- Atomix in New York City
- Lazy Bear in San Francisco
- Canlis in Seattle
- Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Westchester, New York
Wineries
- Heitz Cellar in St. Helena, California
- Antica Terra in Oregon’s Willamette Valley
- Scribe Winery in Sonoma, California
- Ridge Vineyards in Healdsburg, California
The addition of more than 1,200 wineries is particularly notable. Winery tasting experiences are a popular draw for food-focused travelers, and this type of venue has historically been absent from the Resy network entirely.
What This Could Mean for Your Amex Resy Dining Credits
Several American Express credit cards offer recurring Resy dining statement credits as part of their annual benefits package. These credits are typically triggered when an eligible cardholder enrolls in the benefit and pays at a participating U.S. Resy restaurant using their enrolled card.
Because Tock venues are expected to migrate into the Resy platform, many of these newly added restaurants and wineries may become eligible spending locations for those credits once the integration is fully complete. American Express has not yet released a confirmed list of which former Tock venues will qualify, so some uncertainty remains, particularly around prepaid and ticketed experiences where credit eligibility has historically varied.
That said, the general direction is clear: a larger Resy network likely means more practical opportunities to use credits that might otherwise go partially unredeemed.
Amex Cards That Currently Offer Resy Dining Credits
The following American Express cards offer Resy dining statement credits as a recurring cardholder benefit. Enrollment is required, and credits currently apply at participating U.S. Resy restaurants. Annual fees and credit amounts are listed for reference.
| Card | Annual Fee | Resy Credit |
|---|---|---|
| American Express Platinum Card | $895 | Up to $100/quarter (up to $400/year) |
| American Express Gold Card | $325 | Up to $50 biannually (up to $100/year) |
| Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex | $350 | Up to $10/month (up to $120/year) |
| Delta SkyMiles Platinum Business Amex | $350 | Up to $10/month (up to $120/year) |
| Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex | $650 | Up to $20/month (up to $240/year) |
| Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business Amex | $650 | Up to $20/month (up to $240/year) |
For cardholders who already hold one of these cards, the expanded Resy network represents a potential quality-of-life improvement for the benefit rather than a change to the credit terms themselves. The credits, amounts, and enrollment requirements are not reported to be changing as a result of the merger.
A Few Things to Watch Before the Merger Completes
While the overall direction of this change is positive for cardholders, there are a few considerations worth monitoring as the integration moves forward.
- American Express has not yet confirmed which specific former Tock venues will qualify for Resy credit redemption. Not every venue on the platform may be eligible.
- Tock is known for prepaid and ticketed reservation models. It remains unclear how credit eligibility will be handled for bookings where payment is made entirely upfront at the time of reservation rather than at the restaurant.
- The Resy dining credits on most cards are currently restricted to U.S. restaurants, so international Tock venues are unlikely to count even after the merger.
- The timeline for the full integration is expected to be this summer, but specific launch dates have not been confirmed.
Checking the Amex benefits portal and Resy’s platform directly once the transition is announced will be the most reliable way to verify which new venues qualify.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to do anything to take advantage of new Resy venues after the Tock merger?
A: If you are already enrolled in the Resy dining credit benefit on your eligible Amex card, no additional action is likely required once the new venues are added to the platform. You would simply pay with your enrolled card at a newly eligible venue. That said, it is worth verifying credit eligibility for specific venues through your Amex account once the integration is complete, particularly for prepaid or ticketed experiences.
Q: Will Tock still exist as a separate app after the merger?
A: Based on current reporting, the standalone Tock app and exploretock.com are expected to be retired once the integration with Resy is complete. All Tock venue bookings are expected to migrate to the Resy platform and app.
Q: Does the merger change how much Resy credit I receive on my Amex card?
A: There is no indication that the merger affects the credit amounts, frequency, or terms on any existing Amex card. The change is expected to expand the pool of eligible venues, not alter the credit structure itself.
AmazingMiles Verdict
The expected merger of Tock into the Resy platform is a meaningful development for American Express cardholders who carry cards with Resy dining credits. Adding over 25,000 venues, including acclaimed fine dining restaurants and more than 1,200 wineries, gives those recurring credits considerably more real-world utility, especially for travelers who enjoy culinary experiences or wine country destinations.
The key caveat is that Amex has not yet published a confirmed list of which former Tock venues will qualify for credit redemption, and prepaid dining models may introduce some complexity. For now, cardholders with Resy benefits are in a holding pattern, but the direction of this change is broadly positive. When the integration goes live, it will be worth logging into your Amex benefits portal and the updated Resy app to take stock of what is newly available near you.
