TGI Friday’s: Give Me More Stripes (And FREE Food Too)

by Tara Kuczykowski on April 3, 2009 · 46 comments

tgi-fridays-dealsJoin the TGI Friday's Give Me More Stripes program, and you'll be well on your way to earning FREE food! Just for registering you'll receive a one-time skip to the front of the line pass and a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert.

The program allows you to earn coupons for free food worth up to $8 every time you reach $100 in food purchases.

Other incentives include:

  • complimentary welcome tastings
  • upgrades on beverages
  • preferred seating
  • preferred parking

Also, reader Bonnie emailed me today to share that current members just received coupons for one-cent appetizers at the bar with the purchase of a beverage and one-dollar entrees with the purchase of an entree!

This month you can also get double points on your Stripes Card so you can earn free food even quicker!

A couple of other tips

*Be sure to present your stripes card before any purchases...even if you use coupons, you still get stripes points for the *original, pre-discounted* total

*Read the exclusions on the email coupons. Of late they have been for dine-in only or for lunch only.

*You get stripes points for any purchase. So, $100 in gift cards during the holidays gives you $20 in free gift cards (holiday promo) AND $8 email coupon for spending the original $100. So, $128 for spending $100.

*Friday's does have carry out, although they don't advertise/promote this... Save on drinks, etc.

I have never seen evidence of the "other incentives" mentioned above (welcome tastings, preferred seating/parking, drinks upgrades).....perhaps these are regional promos?

Hi!
I'm so glad you posted about this. I have a TGIFriday's card as well. I emailed them when I first signed up because it was taking a while to get my email about the free appetizer. I finally got the email, but never heard back from them. Until, about a week later, they emailed me saying that they were sorry that they had not replied sooner, and in return for me having to wait, they sent me a voucher for $8 off! I've also been getting coupons lately, such as 1 cent appetizers, and b1g1 free Jack Daniels entree's. I love that place!
