DoD Dine Smart®

DoD Dine Smart is a preferred dining program which generates rebates for the Department of War when travelers use their Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) to pay at participating restaurants. The program operates through Dinova [dinova.com], a dining network with more than 24,000+ participating restaurant locations throughout the United States.

Policy

Use of DoD Dine Smart restaurants when traveling is not a requirement, however use of the GTCC to pay for meals when TDY is highly encouraged.

DoD Dine Smart Traveler Rewards

Through DoD Dine Smart Traveler Rewards [youtube.com, 1:25], an extension of DoD Dine Smart, service members and civilians traveling on official business can sign up to earn reward points for every dollar spent at participating restaurants. With a one-time enrollment in DoD Dine Smart Traveler Rewards, travelers link their travel card to the program. Any time you dine at a participating Dinova restaurant and pay with your travel card, you'll earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards at popular retailers and restaurants. A point is earned for every $1 spent on food and beverage, including tax and tip.
