What a The Cheesecake Factory gift card gets you
The same card spends at all 200-plus The Cheesecake Factory locations and at its sister concepts run by the same company — Grand Lux Cafe, North Italia, and Flower Child — on dine-in, to-go, and curbside orders alike. It covers the full menu, including the 30-plus cheesecake varieties to take home whole, and there are no activation fees, no monthly dormancy charges, and no expiration on the balance.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $10 to $500 per card via thecheesecakefactory.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in restaurant or for online orders. $10 to $500 per card via thecheesecakefactory.com; preset amounts of $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, or $200 via Dyme. Can be shown on your phone at the table.
You can apply more than one gift card to a single check in restaurant; tell your server before they run the payment.

Can I get a The Cheesecake Factory gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells The Cheesecake Factory e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store and online. Multi-pack The Cheesecake Factory cards (commonly a $100 face value sold for around $80) are a recurring offer. Supply rotates and isn't always in stock. Physical or digital depending on the club, membership required.
- Seasonal bonus-card promotions. Around the holidays The Cheesecake Factory typically runs a bonus-card deal — buy a set amount in gift cards and get an additional promotional card free. The bonus card often carries its own redemption window, so check the fine print.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold cards from third parties, usually a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Cheesecake Rewards on the meal, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single The Cheesecake Factory 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 other category bonuses.
Free to join. Earns at redemption, not on the gift card purchase.
Cheesecake Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase itself. It earns when you dine and pay with the card, at the same rate as paying any other way — link the card or scan in the app at the table. 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.
