Texas Roadhouse’s loyalty terms say “All members will receive an offer on their birthday and on reaching certain milestones,” and neither the terms nor the VIP Club sign-up page says what that offer is. Joining is free for anyone 18 or older who lives in the United States, and no purchase is needed.
What Texas Roadhouse Is
Wikipedia calls it “an American steakhouse chain that specializes in steaks in a Texan and Southwestern cuisine style.” The loyalty terms cover more than the steakhouse: the contact line for opting out lists texasroadhouse.com, bubbas33.com and eatjaggers.com, so the same document speaks for Texas Roadhouse, Bubba’s 33 and Jaggers.
How To Get The Texas Roadhouse Birthday Deal
Join the VIP Club on Texas Roadhouse’s sign-up page and put your birthday in. The page promises a welcome gift first: “New VIP Club members will receive your special welcome gift within 48 hours!” The birthday offer comes from the loyalty terms, under Standard Offers: “By joining the program, you will receive offers and information. New members will receive an offer upon joining. All members will receive an offer on their birthday and on reaching certain milestones. You may also receive personalized offers.”
What The Sign-Up Form Asks For
The form marks five fields as required with a star: “Mobile phone *”, “Zip code *”, the birthday month and day, and “Location *”. It also asks “Are you 21+ years old?” with no star, and the page doesn’t say what that answer changes. Text messages are a separate checkbox that starts “Optional: I consent to receive recurring text messages,” so you can skip the texts and still join.
What Isn’t Spelled Out
The offer’s size, its form and the date it arrives aren’t written anywhere on the pages read. It could be a coupon, an appetizer or a dollars-off deal, and the promise would be met either way. The terms also close the door on holding the company to any of it: “Rewards are subject to change, alteration, substitution, or termination by us, in our sole discretion, at any time.” If you want to see what yours is, check your email and the VIP Club account after your birthday is on file.
Three Brands, Three Memberships
The terms say “NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO JOIN ANY OF THE PROGRAMS. Membership in an individual loyalty program does not confer any rights or benefits in a loyalty program operated under a different brand name.” So joining the VIP Club doesn’t enroll you in Bubba’s 33 or Jaggers. Jaggers is the one with a points balance, as its section says: “You earn Jaggers Rewards Points at a rate of 1 point per dollar spent at a Jaggers restaurant location.” Its birthday line is just as loose: “you will receive a reward or offer upon joining, on your birthday, or on reaching certain milestones.”
What The Old Post Got Wrong
An earlier version of this post said the birthday field was optional, that a blank one meant no offer, and that ZIP and favorite location were optional too. The form marks birthday month and day, ZIP and location all as required. The same old post is right about the central point, which is that Texas Roadhouse promises an offer and never names it.
What Was Actually Checked
Texas Roadhouse’s VIP Club page and Loyalty Terms of Use were read on 2026-10-08, along with Wikipedia. The site returned an HTTP 403 “Security Check” page to WebFetch and a plain page fetch, so both pages were read through headless Chrome. The terms page shows no date, though one section says a date will appear at the top.
Eligibility and Cost
The terms say “You must be 18 or older and a legal resident of the United States to be eligible for membership in any of the Programs.” Membership is free. Nothing on the pages ties the birthday offer to a purchase, and nothing says how long it lasts after it arrives.

A: No page read says so.
Q: Do I have to give my birthday?
A: The form marks the birthday month and day as required.
Q: Does the VIP Club also cover Bubba’s 33 and Jaggers?
