One of America's top banks sought to redefine loyalty, moving beyond the typical points and cashback. Their ambitious vision? Offer their cardholders exclusive access to elite dining experiences, from hard-to-book restaurants to exclusive culinary events.

Teaming up with Kunai, the bank leveraged the firm's expertise in payment & booking API integrations, AWS mastery, and robust cloud systems. They designed and executed a cloud-based MVP dining rewards platform, balancing benefits for the bank, customers, and elite restaurant partners. Partnership incentives included the allure of recognition by renowned culinary entities like Chef José Andrés, the MICHELIN Guide, and the James Beard Foundation, and the opportunity to host exclusive cardholder events.
