Where to Buy Chili's Grill & Bar Gift Cards: Deals, Rewards & Miles

What a Chili's Grill & Bar gift card gets you

The Chili's card is issued by Brinker, so the same card spends at any Maggiano's Little Italy as well as at Chili's — useful to know if the recipient prefers Italian over fajitas. It works in the dining room, at the bar, for curbside To Go, and on online orders at chilis.com and in the Chili's app. There are no activation or per-purchase fees, and the balance never decays from dormancy charges the way a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card can.

two formats:

• Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $5 to $500 per card via chilis.com or any Chili's host stand.
• E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in restaurant by scanning the phone, or by entering the number online. $5 to $500 per card via chilis.com; $25 to $100 via Dyme. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.

You can apply more than one card to a single check in restaurant. Servers can split a tab across multiple gift cards, then settle any remainder on a credit card.

Where to buy: four channels compared

Discounts, bonus-card promos, and multi-pack pricing rotate by location and season. Verify before you buy.

Can I get a Chili's Grill & Bar gift card at a discount?

Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Chili's e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:

• Costco or Sam's Club, in store and online. Brinker and Chili's gift cards periodically appear as discounted multi-packs (for example, a $100 face value sold for around $80). Stock rotates and isn't always listed. Club membership required.
• Chili's own bonus-card promotions. Around the holidays Chili's often runs a 'buy a gift card, get a free bonus card' deal on chilis.com. The bonus card is the effective discount. Watch the gift-card page from late November through December.
• Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.

The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, My Chili's Rewards on the meal, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.

How to stack rewards

Three rewards programs fire on a single Chili's gift card purchase through Dyme.

Credit-card rewards

Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.

Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses, so dining multipliers usually do not apply to the gift-card purchase itself.

• Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
• Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)

• Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on the gift card. The 4x dining bonus does not apply to gift-card purchases
• Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on the gift card. The 3x dining bonus does not apply to gift-card purchases

My Chili's Rewards

• Join cost: free
• Applies at: redemption
• Earning rate: Points and free-item rewards on qualifying restaurant visits
• Reward threshold: Free appetizers, desserts, and entrees unlock as you accumulate visits

My Chili's Rewards earns on the meal when you redeem the card, not on the gift-card purchase. Scan your member code or use the app at the table to get credit, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit.

Dyme Miles

• Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
• Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
• Expiration: never
• Blackouts: none
• Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners

$100 Chili's e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, meal redeemed by a My Chili's Rewards member

• Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
• My Chili's Rewards at the meal: Visit credit toward the next free-item reward
• Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)

Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy via Dyme

1. Open the Chili's brand page on Dyme.
2. Enter the recipient's email, the denomination, and an optional personal message.
3. Check out. The e-gift sends immediately and can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay from the email.

Every dollar you spend through Dyme helps fund clean energy for local communities.

How to buy on chilis.com

1. Go to chilis.com/gift-cards.
2. Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
3. Add to cart and check out. Watch for seasonal bonus-card promotions, which add a free card on top rather than discounting the one you buy.

How to buy in store

Any Chili's host stand sells physical gift cards. Ask a host or your server for the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. There's no set minimum and you can load most whole-dollar amounts up to $500.

How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket

Costco and Sam's Club periodically run discounted multi-packs of Chili's or Brinker gift cards. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 Chili's cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.

Designs and personalization

Physical cards: several designs in the Chili's online catalog, including birthday, thank-you, and seasonal holiday options. A gift sleeve and a printed message are available at checkout.

E-gift cards: multiple designs with a customizable subject line and a recipient message.

There is no co-branded or personalized-art option for individual purchase. For bulk orders, see corporate ordering below.

Delivery and timing

• E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Add to Apple Wallet or Google Pay directly from the email.
• E-gift via chilis.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
• Physical via chilis.com: 5 to 10 business days standard. Expedited options available at checkout.
• Physical in restaurant or at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.

Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a physical card in hand, chilis.com or a retail aisle is the path.

Corporate and bulk buying

Brinker runs a corporate and bulk gift-card program covering Chili's and Maggiano's, with volume pricing, custom denominations, and consolidated invoicing for employee rewards and client gifting. Contact the Brinker corporate gift-card team to start a bulk order.
