The Applebee's Date Night Pass is back for the second year in a row on Feb. 4, 2025. Last year we saw this Date Night Pass sell out instantly (along with the Applebee’s website crashing), leaving some people wondering if it was even a real promotion or not.
They’ve made some changes this year for a better experience for customers overall. Last year, they offered up 1,000 passes for Club Applebee's rewards members (only worth $30 per month), and they sold out instantly. This year, they've got 3,000 of 'em, and you're getting $50 per month.
Club Applebee's rewards members can register now for a chance to purchase this $100 Date Night Pass. If you're selected and purchase the $100 pass, you'll get $50 to spend at Applebee's every month for a year. That's $600 worth of food and drinks for free.
Here's how to register, how to use the pass, and how to use Applebee's deals to get the absolute most out of the Date Night Pass if you're lucky enough to be able to buy one.

What can you buy with a Date Night Pass?
The Applebee's Date Night Pass is $50 to spend on food and non-alcoholic drinks. While the Date Night Pass isn't valid with other offers and promotions, I did confirm that you can use it on Applebee's deals featured on the menu.
For a simple date night, I highly recommend checking out their 2-for-$25 deal. You'll get an appetizer to share, two entrees, and drinks for $25 apiece — spending all $50 on a meal for two.
If you're looking to feed a family of four with the Date Night Pass, check out the Really Big Meal Deal menu with sandwiches, fries, and drinks starting at just $9.99. Even if you upgraded to their premium sandwich meals at $12.99 apiece, you could still feed a family of four while spending just $1.96, plus tip and tax ($12.99 x 4 = $51.96).
If you want to take this $50 even further, here are a few more combos to try:
Appetizer Spread: Appetizer Combo (regularly $15.29*), Beef Nachos (regularly $12.29*), Sizzlin' Caramel Apple Pie (regularly $5.99*), Triple Chocolate Meltdown (regularly $7.29*), and two drinks (regularly $1.99 each*) — TOTAL COST: $44.84
Surf & Turf: Two Shrimp 'N Parmesan Sirloins (regularly $20.59*) and two drinks (regularly $1.99 each*) — TOTAL COST: $45.16
Pasta Date Night: Broccoli Chicken Alfredo (regularly $15.29*), Three Cheese Chicken Penne (regularly $15.29*), two drinks (regularly $1.99 each*), Sizzlin' Caramel Apple Pie (regularly $5.99*), and Triple Chocolate Meltdown (regularly $7.29*) — TOTAL COST: $47.84
*Prices vary by location.
