Flood their account deletion team. If they are unable to process the onslaught of account deletion requests as stipulated by the CCPA, they are subject to fines of $2,500 for each account.

Anyone that created an account for this, put in an account delete request here: Privacy Web Form https://privacyportal.o After you select your state, it will prompt what type of request you are making. Select "Delete My Account and/or Personal Information" I'd suggest adding a reason along the lines of "I've lost confidence in Applebee's data handling based on the Date Night promotion technical errors" Source: This is linked from the footer of the Applebee's site. Obviously, if you already had an account with rewards points, don't do this if you want to keep them. |

Subject: Complaint about Applebee's Date Night Promotion
:
Dear Applebee's Customer Service, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent Date Night promotion offered by Applebee's. As a loyal customer, I was eagerly looking forward to participating in this event, only to be left utterly disappointed by the way it was handled. The promotion, which was advertised to offer a special Date Night experience, sold out in less than two minutes, leaving many genuine customers, myself included, unable to secure a reservation. What was particularly frustrating was the apparent lack of safeguards against bots and unfair practices that may have contributed to this rapid sell-out. It is unacceptable that Applebee's did not implement any measures to ensure that genuine customers had a fair chance of participating in the promotion. The lack of safeguards against bots and automated purchasing systems seems to have allowed unfair advantages to certain individuals or entities, resulting in genuine customers being left out. As a long-standing patron of Applebee's, I expected better from a company that prides itself on providing a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for its customers. The swift sell-out of the Date Night promotion, coupled with the absence of protective measures, has left me deeply disappointed and frustrated. I urge Applebee's to review its promotional strategies and implement stronger safeguards to prevent such situations from recurring in the future. Genuine customers should have an equal opportunity to benefit from these promotions without the fear of being edged out by unfair means. I trust that Applebee's will take this matter seriously and take appropriate steps to address the concerns raised. As a loyal customer, I sincerely hope that the company will use this feedback to improve its approach to promotions and ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all customers. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt and satisfactory resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] |

It's PS5 all over again.
Did not really want it but decided to save some money. Went down and did a take out order that should have been around $35 since i bought just 2 meals. When i went to pick it up the total was over $50. I asked why? They said oh because even with take out orders we factor in tips when you use a coupon and also different taxes.
Trust me they plan on making money on this and i doubt they're gone in secs like some think. There is always a catch even not listed.
I will bet they factor in a large tip even if take out order plus the tax and of course the people who use it a few times and then forget about it.
1. Free advertising on every local news cast that has a story about this.
2. Get the email of every person that creates an account to try and get one.
3. Counting on the few people who do obtain them will not use them to full benefit. There is something like $20B in unused gift cards laying around the US
. what a disappointment.

After looking into past Olive Garden promotions, I've concluded they will offer at most, a few hundred or a few thousand of these, they'll be gone within 1 second and you'll have about as much chance of getting one as winning the lottery.
If they were going to sell like 500,000 of these, they would just say that. The website promotion intentionally omits the actual amount and uses language like "GET YOUR PASS BEFORE IT SELLS OUT.
IT'S GOING TO GO QUICK!", meaning these will be an EXTREMELY small number. OG sold like 50 of the $500 lifetime passes. Literally 50, for a country of 330 million.
This is 100% about marketing. They will lose $0 on this promotion and will very likely generate quite a bit of business.
