Applebee's Date Night Pass: Secret Goldmine for Couples

Applebee's Date Night Pass offers $30 worth of free food and drinks every week for a year for $200. Is it worth it?

Applebee's has announced the launch of its Date Night Pass, which is a limited-edition pass that goes on sale for a one-time purchase of $200. This pass entitles the holder to $30 worth of free food and non-alcoholic beverages each time it is used, and it can be used once per week for a full year. This means that the total possible value of the pass is $1,560 in food and drinks over the course of 52 visits. The Date Night Pass is designed to put a dent in date night, and it is meant to capitalize on Applebee's popularity among Gen Z diners.

The pass can be used for both dine-in and to-go orders, but it is important to note that the value does not roll over to the following days or weeks if it is not used in its entirety. In order to get the maximum value out of the pass, it needs to be used weekly, and at least $30 worth of food and/or non-alcoholic drinks must be ordered on each visit. While the pass cannot be used in combination with other offers, it can be used to order the 2 for $25 deal, which includes an appetizer and two entrees for $25, providing a savvy way to use the Date Night Pass.

Another interesting alternative use for the pass is to use it on catering menu items, as confirmed by Applebee's. There are a large number of catering items that are priced around the $30 mark, and purchasing these items with the Date Night Pass can provide a meal big enough to portion out and eat all week.

Overall, the Date Night Pass offers a good deal, especially for those who live near an Applebee's location and plan to use it regularly. With the potential to save a significant amount of money in the long run, the pass is a worthwhile investment for those who enjoy dining out or want to take advantage of the catering options. The pass will go on sale on January 22 at 12 p.m. ET, and it is expected to sell out quickly. If you are able to purchase one, it is a good way to get your money's worth and potentially even simplify meal prep.
