Olive Garden gift cards are one of the best values in casual dining — not just because they let you eat at Olive Garden, but because they work across all eight Darden restaurant brands. That means a single card covers LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, Yard House, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze, and of course Olive Garden itself.
Even better, savvy shoppers can buy these cards at significant discounts through warehouse clubs and resale platforms — effectively getting 5–20% off every meal before they even sit down.
Every Olive Garden location sells physical gift cards in denominations from $25 to $100. You can also purchase eGift cards on olivegarden.com in any amount from $5 to $500 — these are delivered instantly via email, making them perfect for last-minute gifts.
Costco consistently offers the best deal on Olive Garden gift cards. The standard bundle is 4 × $25 cards for $79.99 — that’s $100 in dining value for 20% less. This deal is available both in-store and on Costco.com (with a small shipping fee online).
Sam’s Club sells 2 × $50 cards for $84.98, saving you about 15%. Not as steep as Costco’s discount, but still a solid deal.
These resale platforms sell unwanted gift cards at 5–12% below face value. Inventory varies, but you can often find Olive Garden/Darden cards at 8–10% off.
Walmart, Target, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, and Amazon all sell Olive Garden gift cards at face value. While there’s no discount, you can sometimes earn fuel points (Kroger) or cashback rewards on gift card purchases.
Three ways to check your Olive Garden gift card balance:
The real power of Olive Garden gift cards comes from stacking them with other savings:
Buy discounted cards at Costco (20% off), then use them to pay for meals where you’ve already earned Olive Garden Rewards points. You’re effectively double-dipping on savings.
Join the eClub to receive a free appetizer or dessert coupon, then pay the rest of your meal with a discounted gift card.
Visit during happy hour for discounted drinks and appetizers, then pay with a discounted gift card. A $30 meal effectively costs $22–24.
Pro tip: Register physical cards at olivegarden.com to protect your balance if lost or stolen.
Gift cards work for all order types — dine-in, curbside pickup, delivery through olivegarden.com, and catering orders. They do not work for third-party delivery orders placed through DoorDash or Uber Eats.
