Del Frisco's Gift Card

There are two routes depending on your card. Landry's-issued cards check on the Landry's balance page or by calling 1-888-345-8380, the number given in the Landry's card terms.

For questions about a Del Frisco's gift card order or balance, the line published on delfriscos.com is 1-844-234-7833, staffed 8am to 8pm Eastern. Older Del Frisco's Restaurant Group cards route through the Landry's service balance page.

In every case a server at the restaurant can check it at the table, which is the quickest option if you are already there.

Not at the Double Eagle Steakhouse, and this is the single most misunderstood thing about this card. Landry's published gift card terms say the card may be used at any participating Landry's location in the United States excluding Catch, Mastro's, The Palm, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse and Houlihan's.

Del Frisco's Grille is not on that exclusion list. So a standard Landry's card should work at the Grille but not at the Double Eagle, despite both brands selling cards through the Landry's system. Several gift card resale sites currently claim otherwise. If you are planning a meal around a card, call the specific restaurant first.

Present it to your server when the bill arrives and the value comes off the total. If the bill exceeds the card, you settle the rest with cash, a card or another gift card, which is a split tender and is handled normally.

If the bill comes in under the card's value, the remainder stays on the card rather than being paid out in cash. The exclusion to remember is that the card cannot be redeemed against a contracted banquet or private dining event, and it is not valid in combination with other discounts, promotional cards or coupons.

Start with the acceptance question, because the most likely way to lose money here is not a scam at all: it is selling or buying a card on the assumption it works somewhere it does not.

Beyond that, the number and PIN are the value, the card is not replaceable if lost or stolen, and there is no recovery route. Never send both to an unverified buyer. Note also that Landry's terms state any resale is strictly prohibited, so a buyer who has not mentioned that is not giving you the full picture.

The balance verifies quickly on the Landry's checker, so speed is not the constraint. What matters is finding a desk that will establish which card generation you hold before quoting, because that determines what the card is actually worth.

A platform that quotes a flat rate for "Del Frisco's" without asking has not thought about it. Visit GiftCardCoach to see the live rates.

No. Fine dining is a narrow category with a small pool of end users, so it prices below broad retail despite the high face values these cards usually carry. A Landry's-portfolio card does better than a Del Frisco's-only card for exactly that reason. Check the live board.

No. The card is redeemable only at participating locations in the United States. There is no Nigerian acceptance and no international route. Selling it is the only way to convert it here.

Digital cards are emailed and usually arrive shortly after the order clears. Orders over $500 go through the bulk programme, which is a separate corporate process with its own fulfilment timeline rather than an instant email. For questions about an online order, the published line is 1-844-234-7833 between 8am and 8pm Eastern.

No. The card has no cash value and is not redeemable for cash except where the law requires it, and it will not be replaced if lost, stolen or damaged, so you carry the risk. If you spend less than the balance, the remainder stays on the card rather than being handed back. Selling it is the practical route to Naira.

Yes. Your server can apply more than one card to a check and you can finish with another payment method, which is a standard split tender. What you cannot do is use a card toward buying another gift card, since the terms rule that out.

No fees are charged on the card. The restrictions that cost you are structural rather than financial: no use against banquets or private dining events, no combining with other discounts or promotional offers, and on a Landry's card, an exclusion list that includes the Double Eagle Steakhouse. None of those is a fee, but each one narrows where the money actually works.

No. The Del Frisco's Restaurant Group card is described in its own terms as a single load card, which means once it has been purchased no additional value can be added. When it empties, it is finished.

Yes. Present it at the table when paying. On the Landry's system, mobile redemption typically involves writing the e-gift card number on your guest check so the server can verify it against your phone and check the balance, so have the number visible and be ready to read it out.
