Can I use an Olive Garden gift card to cover a server's tip?
Yes. When paying inside the dining room or through the table-side terminal, you can apply your available gift card balance toward both meal charges and gratuity, provided the card balance covers the total sum.
Do gift cards bought at wholesale clubs have different rules?
No. Multipacks purchased at discount warehouses like Costco or Sam's Club follow standard Darden terms. They carry zero fees, never expire, and work across all sibling restaurants.
Can I add my digital Olive Garden eGift card to Apple Wallet?
Most digital delivery emails provide a web link that lets you save the barcode directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for rapid scanning at table-side terminals.
What should I do if the PIN on my physical card is scratched off?
Contact Darden Guest Relations with the card's 16-digit account number and the original purchase receipt. The support desk can look up the account record and reissue a functional replacement code.
