No, restaurants are not required to sign a contract with a fixed length to use Rewards Network’s Marketing Services. Restaurants can opt out of their marketing agreement with notice, subject to the terms of their agreement which may include a fee depending on the timing.
Rewards Network funding options, such as Dining Credits and Premier Restaurant Funding, are separate from the marketing program and work differently. These agreements do not have fixed-terms; rather they are structured around the purchase of future credit card receivables and remain in place until the agreed-upon receivables are delivered.
Restaurants can evaluate results as they go
Because there’s no fixed contract length to work around, restaurants can review performance, average check size, and repeat visits whenever they want, and make decisions about their marketing agreement based on what they’re seeing.
The flexibility works both ways
Rewards Network’s marketing program is designed around performance, not around locking a restaurant into a set number of months. That keeps the incentives aligned. The working relationship continues because it’s working, not because of a contract clock.
