DiningBuzz! - Dining rewards?

I'm looking for a list of national chains that offer some sort of dining rewards (other than through opentable...but I don't know enough about opentable to understand if that probably is the way I should be going).

I know that the Hard Rock has a program...I'm thinking about Longhorns, Olive Gardens, Applebees, etc...

Any suggestions?

thanks.

T.G.I. Fridays (http://tgifridays.com/home/welcome.aspx) has the Give Me More Stripes program.

It's not really what you were asking, but I have found that the best benefit at many of the chains is the gift cards, where they are either available at a discount or they offer you free meals with a purchase.

For example, Sweet Tomatoes gives you a free meal with a $100 gift card, and they offer other savings, etc.

Mimi's Cafe http://www.mimiscafe.com/EClub.aspx gives you a free breakfast when you sign up for their E-club. I think you also get another one on your birthday too.

Fleming's Steakhouse has a promo where you get an additional $20 gift card when buying $100 worth of gift carda.

Pei Wei restaurants have a free frequent user card that you can sign up for. You present it, or just your phone number, every time you eat there, and after 10 entrees, you get one entree free. Most times, we find that our lunch order counts for at least 2, maybe 3 entrees, so you'll get to the free entree pretty quickly. Good food - a "cafe" subset of P.F. Chang's, I believe.

The palm has one too, totally forgot about that. The 837 club. $25 to join, they give you a $25 GC to use. You earn points and can convert them into food, etc.
