What an Aquarium gift card gets you
An Aquarium Restaurant gift card works at every Landry's-owned location, not just the aquarium-themed dining rooms — the same card spends at Morton's The Steakhouse, McCormick & Schmick's, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Rainforest Cafe, Saltgrass Steak House, Mastro's, Chart House, and more than 600 restaurants nationwide. It also covers the attractions attached to the Aquarium venues in Houston, Denver, Kemah, and Nashville: the shark tank, the train ride, and the gift shop. There are no activation or per-use fees, and the balance never erodes from dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve, redeemable at any Aquarium Restaurant or Landry's location. $10 to $500 per card.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, shown on your phone or printed. $25 to $200 via Dyme; up to $500 through Landry's directly. Works at the table or at the attraction box office.
You can apply more than one card to a single check at the table — hand them all to your server. There is no published cap on how many cards stack on one bill.

Can I get a Aquarium gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Aquarium Restaurant e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value markdown. The discount channels are:
- Landry's seasonal bonus-card promos. Around the holidays and other promotional windows, Landry's runs bonus offers — for example, a free bonus card with a qualifying gift-card purchase. The bonus is effectively a discount on your next visit, but it rotates and isn't always live.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Landry's and Aquarium Restaurant cards usually list a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before you redeem, since secondary sellers occasionally post cards with partial balances.
- Landry's Select Club bonus dollars. Joining the loyalty program puts a $25 welcome bonus on your account and a $25 birthday reward each year, plus points that convert to dining credit. That's a discount on the meal, not on the gift card itself.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Landry's Select Club at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that stack untouched.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Aquarium Restaurant gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from dining and category bonuses, so the purchase usually earns the card's flat base rate.
Free to join. Earns at redemption, not on the gift card purchase.
Select Club does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns when you redeem the card on a meal or an attraction, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. Membership also includes a $25 birthday reward and priority seating across all Landry's brands. Program terms →
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.
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 in store
Any Aquarium Restaurant host stand or gift shop sells gift cards, as does any Landry's-owned restaurant. Tell the host the amount you want, pay with cash or credit, and walk out with the card. You can load any whole-dollar amount from $10 to $500, and the card is redeemable immediately on the same visit.

Physical cards: a standard Aquarium Restaurant design plus general Landry's designs, with seasonal and holiday options in the online catalog. A gift sleeve and a printed message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: a digital Aquarium Restaurant design with a customizable subject line and recipient message.
There is no co-branded or custom-art option for individual purchase. For bulk orders, see corporate ordering below.
