#1: The Cheesecake Factory Rewards = Free Cheesecake and More Free Cheesecake!

When you sign up for The Cheesecake Factory Rewards you’ll score a FREE Slice of Cheesecake w/purchase just for signing up!

You’ll also score Free Birthday Cheesecake, rewards and access to reservations.

#2: Get Even More FREE Cheesecake When You Buy Gift Cards in December!

Every December our family purchases gift cards in person at our local Cheesecake Factory, and are rewarded with special cards redeemable for free slices of cheesecake after the new year begins!  We then use the gift cards to pay for our meals.

When it’s time to cash in our free cheesecake slices, we either bring them along with additional gift cards after the new year has begun, or we just pick them up for free at the to-go counter and take them home to enjoy with a movie. YUM!

#3: Then Get Half Price Cheesecake for 1 Day in July!

Mark your calendars for National Cheesecake Day in July, and score half off your cheesecake slices!

#4: Always Share A Slice of Cheesecake!

Share a slice of Cheesecake for Dessert!  There’s no need for everyone to order their own slice of cheesecake… just order one slice and ask for extra forks!  You’ll save so much money, and still get your delicious fill of rich cheesecake!  I love splitting a slice with my hubby!  I still get the taste, but as an added bonus… my pants still fit the next day! 🙂

#5: Portions are HUGE, So Split Your Meals, Too!

Split a meal and save a bundle!  After filling up on the free delicious baskets of bread, you might not even be that hungry once the food arrives!  The servings are seriously oversized, so you’ll have no problem splitting a meal with your sweetie, friend, or the kids.

Some extra large sized entree’s include the Factory Burrito Grande, Chicken Littles or the Chicken Bellagio.

#6: OR Have Dinner Before 5pm, and Order Off the Lunch Menu!

Go before 5:00 pm and order from the Lunch Menu.  You’ll save a significant amount on smaller sized portions of your favorite menu options.  Have you tried their Orange Chicken yet?  It’s AMAZING!

#7: Skip the Appetizers… and Just Get the Free Bread!

When it comes to appetizers, this is something you’ll want to skip at the Cheesecake Factory.  Enjoy the Free Bread Baskets instead!  Trust me… the complimentary bread is so delicious, you won’t even miss the appetizers!

#8: Then Ask For More Free Bread At The End Of Your Meal!

At the end of your meal, be sure to request another basket of the free bread.  Then simply bag it up with your leftovers and enjoy it tomorrow.  It’s an easy way to have more leftovers… and it’s totally FREE!

#9: Skip The Drinks, and Just Order Water

Skip the drinks, and just order water.  Drinks have some of the highest markup, so you’ll save BIG by sticking with water.  Treat yourself to your favorite drink when you get home, and you won’t have missed a thing!

#10: Take Advantage of the FREE Cheesecake Factory Curbside Pickup!

If you don’t want to go inside your local Cheesecake Factory, you can also take advantage of FREE curbside pickup at select restaurants.  Check here to see if your local Cheesecake Factory offers this service, then follow the website instructions for how to pickup the items you’ve ordered!

I recently visited my local Cheesecake Factory and used a gift card to pay.  I also requested my food be placed directly in my car trunk for contactless pickup!

#11: Get a BIG Cash Signup Bonus + Earn Cash Back or Rewards When Eating Out with These Credit Cards!

When it comes to credit cards, my favorites are the ones that offer BIG signup bonuses and BIG rewards or cash back every time I use them.  When used responsibly, Credit Cards can be a great way to save even more money… and make a little on the side with bonuses, too!
