How Does a Chili’s Gift Card Work?

- $25
- $50
- $75
- $100
Chili’s runs regular promotions on the use of its gift cards, offering incentive vouchers for gift card purchases or discounts when you use a gift card to pay for your meal.
You can use a Chili’s gift card to pay for:
- In-store dining
- Online purchases for store collection
- Home delivery with services such as DoorDash
How To Check the Balance on a Chili’s Gift Card
If you want to know how much money is left on your card, there are three easy ways to perform a Chili’s gift card check:
- Online
- By phone
- In store
Online
Chili’s website can tell you how much value is still on your gift card. All you need to do is enter the number on the card and prove you are not a robot.
By Phone
You can contact Brinker Services Corporation (the owner of Chili’s) by calling 1-888-532-6092 to find out your balance. Follow the voice prompts to check how much money is still available. You should remember to have the card handy when you call.
In Store
If you present your plastic card or a printout of your eGift voucher in-store, a cashier will be able to scan it to check your balance.
All too often, you will find that the remaining balance on your card is too small to be of any use. At this point, you may be tempted to forget about the card and leave the remaining balance unspent.
DoNotPay has a better alternative—we can show you how to turn your remaining card balance into cash!
What Can You Do With Your Old Chili’s Gift Card?
If the balance remaining on your Chili’s gift card is only a few dollars, you may be able to redeem the amount in cash.
Chili’s states their gift cards are not exchangeable for cash unless required by law, but in 11 states and Puerto Rico, you can redeem up to $5 in cash from the vendor of the gift card (up to $10 in California). There are several ways of doing this:
| Redemption Option | Explanation |
| Kiosk | Many grocery and department stores have machines that will give you cash for unused gift cards.
The amount they offer will be a percentage of the remaining value on the card, so you will not receive the full residual balance |
| Card exchange | Online gift card exchanges swap your gift card for cards of a similar value from other vendors. You may be able to exchange your Chili’s card for something more attractive, but you will lose out on the face value of each card |
| Card purchase websites | Several websites offer to buy gift cards with residual values on them, but they only offer a percentage—typically between 85 and 90%—of the remaining money |
| Direct from the vendor | You can redeem the full remaining balance on the card if it is under $5 ($10 in California) by going directly to a Chili’s or associated outlet. This may be easier said than done, though. To do this, you must:
