What a Yard House gift card gets you
A Yard House card is really a Darden card — it spends across the whole restaurant group: Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, Eddie V's, and Ruth's Chris, on food, drinks, and gratuity at any of them. It works for dine-in and to-go, carries no activation or per-purchase fees, and never loses value to dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $10 to $500 per card via the Darden gift-card site.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable at any Darden restaurant. $10 to $500 via the Darden site; $10 to $500 via Dyme.
You can combine multiple Yard House or Darden gift cards on a single check, and a partial balance stays on the card for your next visit across any Darden brand.

Can I get a Yard House gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Yard House 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. Both clubs regularly sell discounted Darden multi-packs — often around four cards for a set price below total face value — usable at Yard House and every Darden brand. Physical only, club membership required, stock rotates.
- Darden seasonal bonus promos. Around the holidays, the Darden gift-card site runs "buy a card, get a bonus card" offers. The bonus card usually has a short redemption window, so read the terms.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Darden and Yard House gift cards, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
Yard House has no chainwide points program, so the combined return comes from the discount channels above plus the rewards stack below: your credit card and Dyme Miles on the purchase.
How to stack rewards
Two rewards programs fire on a single Yard House 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 category bonuses.
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 on the Darden gift-card site
- Go to the Yard House or Darden gift-card page.
- Choose physical or e-gift, pick a design and the amount, and add the recipient's details.
- Check out. Watch for a seasonal bonus-card promo, which is the main brand-direct way to get extra value.
How to buy in store
Any Yard House location sells gift cards at the host stand or bar. Tell the staff the amount, pay with cash or credit, and take the physical card with you. The same card works at every Darden restaurant.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club regularly stock discounted Darden gift-card multi-packs that work at Yard House and across the Darden brands. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, and Albertsons also carry Darden cards at face value — you pay no discount but earn the store's loyalty points and any fuel rewards on gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: several Darden designs, including seasonal and holiday options, with a gift sleeve and printed message available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs, a customizable subject line, and a recipient message.
Because it's a Darden card, the same gift card spends at any Darden brand regardless of which design you pick. For bulk orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Redeemable at any Yard House or Darden restaurant.
- E-gift via the Darden site: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via the Darden site: 5 to 10 business days standard. Express options available at checkout.
- Physical in restaurant or at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a physical card in hand, the Darden site, a Yard House location, or a club/retail rack is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
Darden runs a corporate and bulk gift-card program covering Yard House and all sister brands for employee rewards, incentives, and client gifting, with volume discounts and consolidated invoicing. Contact the Darden corporate gift-card team to start an order.
