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] |

All that said, I would probably do it but I bet it will sell out quickly like the Olive Garden Pasta Pass.
But, getting it to go would totally negate that upsell option for alcohol and other items, and so on.
It SEEMS like it does include to-go orders though, as the description seems to indicate you can make orders through their app, so that sounds like yes, you would be able to order to-go.
I am totally going to buy this.
There was nothing about drinks or anything else. Even with the exorbitant Times Square prices, that's $48 (we'll say the senior citizen discount covers tax). That means $70 (again, assuming Times Square) would have been a generous $22 tip.
It turns out though, that the commenter wasn't at a Times Square Applebees but was in the NYC area. However, Applebee's close to that zip code has a 2 for $25 unlike the Times Square 2 for $38. That makes 2 cheeseburgers and an appetizer $35.
However, it turns out the commenter was misleading in the initial post: "Two bacon cheeseburgers with fries around $17.95 each, appetizer was the largest one, combination of apps, over $20 plus one diet Coke. I'm not a cheapskate, tax was eliminated by discount. I don't live in a fly over state."
The commenter could have saved $1 doing the 2 for $25 deal with $10 to upgrade to the bacon cheeseburgers. But the "one large appetizer" was in reality, "the largest [appetizer]" with an added "combination of apps", and a Diet Coke.
This means it was different than what originally claimed. That's why people were justified in their disbelief, unless the commenter did a large tip.

And that the original value of "$1500" is because fountain soda costs $12, but has free refills
