Make sure your birthdate is on file with the eClub. The chain doesn't publish a strict cutoff date for sign-up, but signing up well before your birthday is the safe approach.
Is the Olive Garden eClub the same as Olive Garden Rewards?▼
Olive Garden's official loyalty / promotional program is the eClub. Third-party sites sometimes call it "Olive Garden Rewards," but Olive Garden does not currently operate a separate points-based rewards program. The eClub is the program.
Does it cost anything to join the eClub?▼
No. The Olive Garden eClub is free to join with no fees, no purchase requirement, and no annual cost.
Can I use eClub offers on delivery or To Go orders?▼
It depends on the offer. Each eClub email lists which order channels it's valid for. Some are dine-in only (notably the birthday dessert per the official FAQ); others apply to To Go and delivery placed through the OG app or website. Always read the specific terms on the offer.
How often do eClub members get deals?▼
Per Groupon's eClub coverage, members typically receive 2–4 exclusive offers per month by email, plus the birthday-month communication. Frequency can vary based on seasonal promotions and new menu launches. You can manage email frequency in your eClub account settings.
Does the eClub include an anniversary reward?▼
Olive Garden does not currently advertise an anniversary reward as part of the eClub on its official website or FAQ. Some third-party sources have mentioned anniversary rewards historically, but we won't claim it as a current eClub benefit until Olive Garden confirms it.
