How Does the Pass Work?
The Date Night Pass allows passholders to enjoy $30 in food and non-alcoholic beverages during each visit.
In-Restaurant
Simply present the pass to your server, when placing an order for dine-in.
To-Go Orders
Passholders can also redeem the pass for to-go orders. Simply enter the 10-character code (on the back of the pass) in the promo code section at checkout, when placing an order on Applebee’s site or app.
How Often Can You Use the Pass?
The Date Night Pass can be used up to 52 times at any participating location in the U.S. — from February 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025.
The pass can only be used once every 24 hours.
What Happens If I Don’t Use the Full Amount?
There is no rollover, if you spend less than $30 in a single use. (For example, if your total is $25, you lose $5 in credit.) And, if you don’t use all 52 credits during the promo period, no credit will be given.
In addition, the $30 credit is not valid toward tax, gratuity, alcohol, retail, gift cards and fees. You will still need to pay those costs out-of-pocket.
For maximum value, be sure you purchase a minimum of $30 in food and non-alcoholic beverages during each visit. If you use the pass to its limit of 52 redemptions, you will save a total of $1,560.
How Do You Get a Date Night Pass?
The Date Night Pass is $200.
The pass is available to purchase on January 22, 2024 at 10 a.m. MST, while supplies last.
Go to Applebees.com/DateNightPass to buy the pass.
