What a TGI Fridays gift card gets you
Beyond dine-in tabs, the same TGI Fridays gift card pays for to-go and delivery orders placed directly through tgifridays.com or the Fridays app, and it covers the full check including appetizers, the bar, and the tip when you pay at the table. There are no activation or per-purchase fees, and the balance never erodes from a dormancy charge — unlike a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve, redeemable at any participating TGI Fridays restaurant. $10 to $500 per card via tgifridays.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, shown on your phone in the restaurant or entered online for pickup and delivery. $25 to $500 via Dyme; $10 to $500 via tgifridays.com.
You can apply more than one gift card to a single check in the restaurant — hand both to your server. Online, the app accepts one stored gift card per order, so combine balances onto one card first if you're paying digitally.

Can I get a TGI Fridays gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells TGI Fridays 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. Periodic multi-pack TGI Fridays cards at a discount, often sold as a bundle of restaurant cards. Supply rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold gift 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.
- TGI Fridays bonus-card promotions. During the winter holidays, TGI Fridays periodically gives a free bonus card with a qualifying gift-card purchase. The bonus card usually has a redemption window, so read the dates.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Fridays 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 TGI Fridays 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 a dining multiplier usually won't apply to the gift-card purchase even though TGI Fridays is a restaurant.
- 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 gift cards. The 4x dining bonus does not apply to a gift-card purchase
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. The 3x dining bonus does not apply to a gift-card purchase
Fridays Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: earn points on every dollar you spend on food and drink in the restaurant or app
- Reward threshold: points convert into Bonus Bites you redeem toward future menu items
Fridays Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns when you spend the card on a meal, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit — so link your Fridays Rewards account at checkout.
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 TGI Fridays e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, spent by a Fridays Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Fridays Rewards on the meal: points toward your next Bonus Bites reward when you spend the card
- 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 on tgifridays.com
- Go to tgifridays.com/gift-cards.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
- Add to cart and check out. TGI Fridays does not run a standing member discount on gift cards, and Fridays Rewards points do not accrue on gift-card purchases — only on the meal you redeem the card against.
How to buy in store
Any participating TGI Fridays restaurant sells physical gift cards at the host stand or bar. Tell the staff the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. You can load any whole-dollar amount from $10 to $500.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack TGI Fridays gift cards at a discount, sometimes bundled with other restaurant brands. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and similar chains carry $25 and $50 TGI Fridays 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: a handful of designs in the TGI Fridays online catalog, including seasonal and celebration options. A gift sleeve and a printed personal message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs, a customizable subject line, and a recipient message.
There is no co-branded option for individual purchase. For bulk and business orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Show it on your phone in the restaurant or enter the number for online orders.
- E-gift via tgifridays.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via tgifridays.com: 5 to 10 business days standard. Express options available at checkout.
- Physical in a 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, tgifridays.com or a retail aisle is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
TGI Fridays runs a corporate and bulk gift-card program for businesses buying in volume — employee rewards, client gifts, and incentive programs — with custom amounts and bulk invoicing. Contact the TGI Fridays gift-card team to set up a bulk order.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I use a TGI Fridays gift card?＋
At any participating TGI Fridays restaurant in the United States, for dine-in, to-go, and delivery orders placed through tgifridays.com or the Fridays app. Participation can vary by location, so check before a long drive.
What denominations are available?＋
Physical: $10 to $500 in whole-dollar increments through tgifridays.com or in a restaurant. E-gift: $10 to $500 through tgifridays.com, or $25 to $500 through Dyme.
Do TGI Fridays gift cards expire?＋
No. TGI Fridays gift cards do not expire and carry no dormancy or service fees. The full purchased value stays on the card until you spend it.
Can I check my TGI Fridays gift card balance?＋
Yes. Enter the card number and PIN on the TGI Fridays gift card balance page, or ask your server to check it in the restaurant. The current balance shows immediately.
Can I use a TGI Fridays gift card for online orders?＋
Yes. Enter the gift card number and PIN at checkout on tgifridays.com or in the Fridays app for pickup and delivery orders, in addition to paying at the table in the restaurant.
Can I use more than one gift card on a single check?＋
In the restaurant, yes — hand the server both cards and they'll split the payment. Online, the app generally accepts one stored gift card per order, so consolidate balances onto a single card first if you're ordering digitally.
Do I earn Fridays Rewards points on a gift card purchase?＋
No. Fridays Rewards points accrue on the meal you redeem the card against, not on buying the card itself. Link your Fridays Rewards account when you order so the meal counts.
Can I return a TGI Fridays gift card?＋
No. TGI Fridays gift cards are non-refundable once purchased. They can be re-gifted or applied toward a future meal, but the balance is not redeemable for cash except where state law requires.
Does TGI Fridays sell corporate or bulk gift cards?＋
Yes. TGI Fridays offers a corporate and bulk gift-card program for businesses, with custom amounts and bulk invoicing for employee rewards, client gifts, and incentives. Contact the gift-card team to set one up.
Are e-gift cards delivered instantly?＋
Usually within 1 to 60 minutes. Gmail's Promotions filter occasionally delays delivery, so check there if you don't see it arrive.
Can I reload an existing TGI Fridays gift card?＋
Reload availability varies. Many locations can add value to an existing card in the restaurant; online reloads aren't consistently offered. The simplest path is to buy a new card and combine balances on a single check.
