Which quick and full-service restaurants do NOT offer 10% discount for AP holders?

[DisneyMom93]

I'm debating whether or not to upgrade one of our "2-day get 3-day free tickets" to a Preferred Annual Pass for about $128 more. I would have to spend $1280 in dining to make the extra cost of $128 worth it. I know we would spend more than that over the course of our 9-day stay, but am not sure if it would depend on at which restaurants we can or cannot eat.

Are there any quick or full-service restaurants in the 2 parks, and/or in CitiWalk that do NOT offer the 10% discount for Preferred AP holders?

Also, do any resort restaurants offer 10% off for Preferred AP holders?

Also, I saw that you get 10% off if you purchase the Quick Dining Plan with Freestyle cup with Amex. I don't see that value in getting the dining plan or the Freestyle cup for us even with 10% off because that's $30 a day per person but I think we each cheaper than that, and we don't need (or want to carry around) Freestyle cups.

EDIT: I meant to ask: Is there any other discount for Amex cardholders? Or just the dining plan?

Thank you in advance!

10% off at Universal Orlando® owned and operated merchandise stores and carts (restrictions apply on select merchandise)
10% off at select restaurants (excluding food & beverage carts and alcoholic beverages)
The restaurants are pretty much all of them. There are a few privately owned ones that don't take it---I think Bubba Gump's doesn't take it.

If you are buying a Coke Freestyle cup, recharge it at a food stand instead of the machine and you get your AP discount on that as well. Also, all merch (except non-Universal stores, like the independant ones in Lost Continent) gives you a discount with your AP.

Yes, the hotel restaurants as well.

I don't know anything about AmEx, sorry.

The full list of all discounts (not just dining) is on Universal’s website. In-park everywhere except kiosks/carts give a discount. If you buy your pass with an amex card there is a private lounge in the studios park. There’s also a passholder lounge in studios.

The resort restaurants that take it are limited. Definitely check the list. I know the Kitchen at Hard Rock does give a discount.
