1. Cheesecake Factory Rewards program members can get a free slice of cheesecake on your birthday.

If you sign up for the free Cheesecake Factory Rewards program, you’ll get a coupon for a free slice of cheesecake (regularly $10.50) for your birthday every year. You’ll be limited to one discount per account and limited to one per person. This coupon will be added to your account 14 days before your birthday, and it will be valid until 14 days after your birthday.

All you need to do to claim your freebie is let your sever know that you are a member, and they will validate your account for your freebie.

2. Tell your server the phone number you used for the Cheesecake Factory Rewards to use your coupons.

Unlike most rewards programs, the Cheesecake Factory Rewards program doesn’t use any points to track your purchases to redeem freebies. Instead, rewards members will get coupons randomly sent to their accounts throughout the year. According to the Cheesecake Factory, you’ll receive an email when you have a reward ready for you.

All you need to do to claim your rewards is mention that you are a member of the program and provide the phone number you use for your account. These coupons can range from free cheesecake slices to discounts on your orders.

 

3. Link your Cheesecake Factory Rewards and DoorDash accounts to receive more rewards.

The Cheesecake Factory has partnered with DoorDash to give us a way to use rewards with our DoorDash orders. All you need to do is click the banner on the Cheesecake Factory DoorDash page and follow the instructions to link your accounts.

Exclusive deals will be given to Cheesecake Factory Rewards members, like free cheesecake slices and $10 off orders $40 or more.

4. Cheesecake Factory Happy Hour offers 48% off drinks and 50% off appetizers.

When is the Cheesecake Factory Happy Hour? Most locations have it Monday through Friday from 4 – 6 p.m., and it’s worth your time.

The Cheesecake Factory Happy Hour menu includes small plates for $6.50, like the happy hour burger and the warm crab and artichoke dip (reg. $12.95) — that’s 50% off! And don’t forget the discounted happy hour drinks, such as beer (reg. $6.75) for as low as $3.50 — a 48.1% discount.

 

 

5. Save up to 30% on an entree when you order from the Cheesecake Factory lunch menu.

The lunch menu is available from opening until 5 p.m. every day. So if you’re the kind of person who has dinner earlier, you can get smaller portions — which are still huge, seeing as it’s Cheesecake Factory. This helps you save up to 32% per entree:

• Miso Salmon is $16.95 on the lunch menu and $24.95 on the regular menu — a 32% savings.
• Orange Chicken is $14.95 on the lunch menu and $19.95 on the regular menu — a 25% savings.
• Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken is $18.95 on the lunch menu and $23.95 on the regular menu — a 20.9% savings.
• Bistro Shrimp Pasta is $17.95 on the lunch menu and $21.50 on the regular menu — a 16.5% savings.

 

6. Save up to 58% on a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake when you buy at Target.

Did you know you can get a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake at Target in the frozen dessert aisle? The 7-inch whole cheesecake at Target is about $15.59. That’s 46.1% off the 7-inch Cheesecake Factory whole cheesecake price, which can be as much as $28.95.

And if you use the Target RedCard 5% discount, it would make the total discount 48.8%.

Plus, Target also sells individual slices of cheesecake for $3.89 (versus Cheesecake Factory’s $8.95). The saves is a 56.5% discount without a Target RedCard and a 58.7% discount with a Target RedCard.

 

7. Skip the overpriced appetizers — complimentary Cheesecake Factory bread is all you’ll ever need.

Seriously, have you had Cheesecake Factory bread? I could eat it for my entire meal! And best of all it’s free (and unlimited), regardless of what you order.

In fact, with all the bread and the size of their entrees, you could probably just split a meal with your friend and save even more. Plus, if you ask for a take-out box, you can take the leftover bread home.

Unfortunately, you don’t get any free bread on take-out orders, but you can purchase a baguette for $3.50.

 

8. Order curbside pickup or Cheesecake Factory delivery to skip the wait.

Cheesecake Factory gets packed during lunch and dinner, and wait times can sometimes be as long as two hours.

Skip the wait by ordering curbside pickup and parking in the allocated spot to pick up your food. The wait time for these orders is around 20-30 minutes, and you can specify a pickup time if you want to get your food at a later time.

Want the food brought to you? Get Cheesecake Factory delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats. It’s not cheaper — you’ll pay a service fee plus a delivery fee (around $6.49) — but that’s where our DoorDash hacks and Uber Eats hacks come in.

 

9. Upgrade your club sandwiches; ask for the Cheesecake Factory brown bread.

The same brown bread that comes in the breadbasket can replace the regular bread on your sandwiches for no extra charge. It’s a game-changer.

 

10. Save up to 7% on Cheesecake Factory gift cards at Raise.

Raise is the place to get a discounted Cheesecake Factory gift card. The amount you pay is LESS than the amount loaded on the card! Inventory changes from time to time, but last we checked, you could get a quick 7% discount just by buying through Raise.

These discounts change, so check back often!

You can also get a 5% discount on a Cheesecake Factory gift card through Target when you use your RedCard.
