Question about the Longhorn Steakhouse. Does anyone know what to do if you have a gift card for them but they closed the only one within 200 miles of you? Do you think one of their other chains would swap out the gift card? Thanks for any responses.
Jes says:
I dont know, but you could always try selling or swapping gift cards with someone.
fran says:
Maryann,
You can use a Darden gift card at any of their restaurants like Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and others.

I was going to ask about that. I did the survey for the gift card a while back and qualified but never received the gift card.

They just posted this: “If you saw a green message, your gifting link will be delivered via e-mail within 48 hours.” If you saw this, then i guess you are in.
