Applebee's is offering a yearlong subscription for weekly date nights.
The restaurant chain announced that it will sell a limited number of "date night" passes starting Monday, Jan. 22, at noon EST.
Applebee's subscription pass includes up to $30 of food and non-alcoholic beverages per use and is valid 52 times between Feb. 1 and Jan. 31, 2025. The pass can only be used once per 24-hour period, according to the restaurant.
"With dating costs increasing 40 percent over the last 10 years alone, dating has become increasingly expensive throughout the United States," Applebee's said. "As one of America’s premier date night destinations, Applebee’s not only helps take away the stress of planning date night, but makes it easier and more affordable than ever."
When all 52 discounts are redeemed, the pass has a value of roughly $1,500. The pass does not cover gratuities or taxes.
Upon receiving the pass, passholders can present it to Applebee's servers when ordering. Those placing online orders should enter the 10-character promo code on the back of the pass into the promo section during checkout.
The restaurant also lets you track your usage through its Club Applebee's loyalty program.
Applebee's said the limited-time date night pass is not available for purchase in restaurants and will only be available on their website. All Applebee's across the U.S. except for 16 locations are participating in the offer, according to the restaurant's website.
