Having lived most of my life far away from the ocean, there are few things I enjoy more than fresh, skillfully prepared seafood. When paired with a savory steak or ribs, the combination is nothing short of divine. With this in mind, I am delighted to see that the Chart House is offering customers its own loyalty program to compliment their famous seafood and steaks.

The Chart House is a member of the Landry’s Select Club, which offers a multi-brand loyalty program integrating dining, hospitality, and entertainment at dozens of locations across the country. When customers sign up for the Landry’s Select Club, they can expect the following perks and rewards:

• Earn Points – 1 point for every dollar spent at participating Landry’s locations.

• Welcome Reward – $25 Reward automatically added to your account upon registration.*

• Birthday Reward – $25 Reward which can be redeemed during your birthday month.

• Priority Seating – Receive seating privileges, seven days a week.

• Retail Benefits – Receive a 10% discount or earn points on your purchases (benefit based on retail location)

• Gift Cards – Earn points when you purchase gift cards.

• Online Access – 24-hour access to your account to review transactions, point balances and rewards.

• Email Notifications – You will receive information about rewards and other important club news.

• Faster Delivery of Rewards – Rewards are automatically added to your account, so no more paper gift certificates!

When customers sign up for the Landry’s Select Club at Chart House, they will have access to an array of restaurants and venues, as well as the opportunity to earn multiple rewards and perks. For more information, visit the Chart House website.

 

Few cities in the United States have a culinary tradition as strong as New Orleans. The unique blend of French and African heritage mixed with the signature Cajun flash has produced something of a national treasure. Copeland’s of New Orleans has continued this proud tradition for the past 30 years, and they have recently rolled out the Lagniappe Club to give diners something else to rave about.

The word lagniappe loosely translates to “a little something extra,” which is an understatement for Copeland’s loyalty program. The Copeland’s website details the basics of the program:

• Earn points every time you dine or have drinks at a participating restaurant. Points may be redeemed for food and drinks as well as exclusive rewards such as a New Orleans getaway weekend.

• A free steak or equivalent on your birthday.

• A free bottle of wine or equivalent on your membership anniversary.

• Exclusive member’s only offers and promotions.

As customers earn points at Copeland’s, they can redeem these points for Copeland’s dining rewards. Customers will receive a $25 reward for earning 300 points, a $50 reward for earning 500 points, and a whopping $100 reward for earning 800 points. For more information about perks and participating locations, visit the Copeland’s website.

 

When it comes to ice cream, it seems that loyalty and rewards programs are almost redundant. Everybody loves ice cream. People write songs about ice cream. The stuff practically sells itself. Nevertheless, the dedicated scoopers at J.P Licks have introduced the Cow Card which serves as both a gift and rewards card for any and all who believe in the “magic of ice cream.”

As a gift card, the Cow Card is fairly standard. Customers can prepay and reload their Cow Card with cash either in person or online. Where the Cow Card stands out is with the auto-reload feature, which will automatically put money on a card once available ice cream funds dip below a preset level (you know, just in case).

When customers use their Cow Card (either as a gift card or as a loyalty card), they will earn one point for every dollar they spend. Customers who earn 50 points at any J.P. Licks location will earn a $5 gift card, which customers can use to buy “ice cream, home roasted coffee, espresso beverages, birthday cakes, anything J.P. Licks!” To sweeten the deal, J.P. Licks even offers a smartphone app for those who prefer to go cardless. For more information, visit the J.P. Licks website.

Kabuki Restaurant has been offering modern Japanese cuisine to customers on the West Coast, and now they have the Red Mask Club to compliment their food and atmosphere. For those unfamiliar with Kabuki Restaurants, the company’s website admirably sums up the mission of the restaurant:

Our mission is to be the leader in the Japanese restaurant industry. We are committed to satisfying our customers completely with the best quality food, excellent service and great value while providing the most pleasant, clean ambiance.

Welcome to Kabuki Japanese Restaurant, the people behind sushi for all mankind. Never tried sushi or Japanese cuisine? Try us and we guarantee you will walk out hooked on our food. That’s what we do best; making non-believers into believers that Japanese cuisine is the new comfort food.

When you walk into a Kabuki you won’t be overwhelmed with Asian decor and music. What you will encounter is a casual atmosphere with today’s hottest music playing, people smiling and our friendly staff welcoming you through the doors. Look for the Red Mask. Come Eat & Drink. Have Fun.

With the Red Mask Club, customers will receive a point for every dollar they spend at Kabuki. Once customers save 500 points, they will receive a $25 “thank you reward.” Customers will also receive periodic emails about promotions, events, and new menu items. For more information, visit the Kabuki website.

Teppanyaki restaurants deserve great applause for their approach to dinner entertainment. Teppanyaki restaurants–more commonly known as Japanese steakhouses in the U.S.– are one of the few places where the entertainment is your dinner. Diners may never have another chance to see a volcano built from fried onions; flipping knives in any other setting is usually condoned, yet here it is celebrated.

Kobe Steakhouse, one of the most recognizable Teppanyaki restaurants in the U.S., has built a reputation for excellent food and dazzling performances by their chefs. To give their customers one more trick to ooh and ahh about, Kobe Steakhouse has introduced Kobe Rewards. The Kobe website outlines the benefits of Kobe Rewards:

10 Rewards Points just for signing up!

1 Reward Point for every $1 spent.

Maximum of 200 points redeemable per check.

For every 200 points accrued, $10 Reward Dollars

will be loaded onto your card for you to redeem on

your next visit. Reward dollars expire after 1 Year.

Rewards members will also receive a $30 birthday reward, which makes the Kobe Rewards program an even better deal for customers. For more information, go to the Kobe Rewards website.

The Cadillac Bar, a member of the Landry Select group of restaurants, has been serving authentic Tex-Mex cuisine for over a quarter century, and their unique brand of Mexican tradition and Texas flair should be enough to keep them in business for the next quarter century. For the Texans lucky enough to live in Houston or Kemah (or for the fortunate tourist who just happens to wander in), the Landry’s Select Club allows customers to earn points and receive rewards just for ordering the Cadillac Bar’s signature dishes and famous margaritas.

Customers will get a dose of Texas hospitality when they sign up for the Landry’s Select Club at the Cadillac Bar; all new members receive a $25 dollar gift certificate that they can use at the Cadillac Bar or at any restaurant in the Landry’s Select Club network. Once customers begin using their Select Club card, they will earn one point for every dollar they spend. Earning 250 points gets members an additional $25 gift certificate.

Members of the Cadillac Bar’s loyalty program will also receive rewards outside of the point system. The Landry’s Select Club gives members a $25 birthday reward, exclusive email offers, priority seating, and discounts on products at Landry’s retail locations. With all of these benefits (not to mention the tequila selection), signing up for the Cadillac Bar’s loyalty program is a no brainer. For more information, mosey on over to the Cadillac Bar’s website.

The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company has always fascinated me. Not every movie gets its own restaurant franchise, but one has to imagine that the idea would make for some successful (or at least entertaining) ventures. Not that you would necessarily want to sign up for the loyalty program at the Soylent Green Cafeteria or Clapet’s Delicatessen, but the restaurants might lure in customers based on camp value alone. In the meantime, the world has Bubba Gump, which has its own (presumably benign) rewards program.

The Bubba Gump Shrimp company is part of the Landry’s Select Club, which has been profiled at various times before on Loyalogy. Members of Landry’s Select Club can take advantage of Landry’s extensive network of participating restaurants and entertainment venues to get the most out of the rewards program.

When customers enroll in the rewards program at The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company (or at any participating Landry’s restaurant), they will receive a $25 dollar gift card that can be used at any participating Landry’s location. Once customers begin using their rewards card, they will earn 1 point for every dollar spent. Customers who earn 250 points will receive a $25 dollar gift card for any participating restaurant.

Members of the Landry’s Select Club will also receive some rewards which are independent of the point system.  Club members will receive a $25 birthday gift, special email offers for their favorite restaurants, and 10% off of certain retail purchases at Landry’s restaurants. Select club members can also enjoy preferred seating at participating restaurants, as well as special offers at some of Landry’s entertainment and hospitality locations. For a complete list of perks, visit the Landry’s Select Club website.
