Applebee’s Date Night Pass Returns for 2025

Date night is supposed to be a special night for couples to go out and enjoy a meal together. What used to be a once-a-week event for many is now maybe a once-a-month outing.

Restaurant prices have surged over the past couple of years causing many couples (and families) to eat at home more often. Sometimes it feels as if you've got to take out a small loan for dinner at some places!

Last February, Applebee's debuted its Date Night Pass. The pass gave cardholders a discount on food and non-alcoholic beverages at any participating restaurant across the country during 2024. News of the pass quickly went viral and when it went on sale, they were sold out within a minute.

I wish I had known about it earlier because I could have loaded up on their mozzarella sticks, riblets, burgers, quesadillas, and chocolate cake last year if I had one of those special Date Night Passes!

The Applebee's Date Night Pass is coming back

The 2025 version of the Date Night Pass was announced by Applebee's on Tuesday. This time around there will only be 3000 cards available for purchase. It will cost $100 for the year and allow cardholders to receive up to $50 of food and non-alcoholic beverages once a month for a year.

Basically, it's a free meal once a month up to $50 at Applebee's and now your once-a-month date night with your partner is covered.

How do you get in on the Applebee's Date Night Pass?

You'll need to be a member of their loyalty program, Club Applebee's. On Valentine's Day, they're going to randomly select 3000 members and notify them by email letting them know they can purchase the card if they like.

Purchasing the card will be like receiving $500 in free food and drink throughout 2025.

If you're not a member already, you can sign up online now.

Now, I'm going to click that sign-up link and qualify. Good luck to us both on being one of the 3000 selected!

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
