NYC Restaurant Week is almost here. This year it runs from July 22 to August 16, so it’s really longer than a week. NYC Restaurant Week is a celebration of NYC’s most fabulous pastime: dining out. With hundreds of restaurants throughout the City rolling out special prix-fixe menus for a limited time. You can get a 2-course lunch for $26 or 3-course dinner $42.

There’s a difference this year though. American Express is no longer involved. They were the sponsor for many years and they used to have great discounts years ago. But this year you get to save some money with a Mastercard credit card. Just register your Mastercard to get a $10 statement credit when you spend $65 or more during NYC Restaurant Week. You can see the offer here.

Registration is easy. You just enter your name, card info and a couple of other things. Then book a table at one of the participating restaurants, use your registered card and spend $65 or more, and you will get your $10 credit. Plus you will earn more points depending on what Mastercard credit card you use.
