Check your Ruth's Chris gift card balance online

Since Ruth's Chris joined the Darden family, its gift card is handled on Darden's shared card system. You'll want the card number and PIN in front of you.

  • Open the balance page using the button above.
  • Type in the card number.
  • Enter the PIN from the back of the card (eGift codes come by email).
  • Submit to reveal the balance.

What you'll need

  • The Ruth's Chris card number (physical or eGift).
  • Its PIN / security code.

Other ways to check

  • At the restaurant: a Ruth's Chris server can look up the balance for you.
  • By phone: Darden's gift-card support can read it with your number handy.
  • On a receipt: the remaining balance usually prints on your dining receipt.

If the balance won't load

  • Type the number and PIN exactly as printed; one slip is enough to fail the lookup.
  • A recently purchased card may need a short time before it activates.
  • If it still won't display, restaurant staff can check it directly.

Why a Ruth's Chris card can read $0

A steakhouse dinner runs high, so a single celebratory meal can empty the card — a zero usually just means it's been spent. Because Ruth's Chris now sits under Darden, an older card may also need a manual look-up if the systems don't line up. If a never-used card still shows zero, it likely wasn't activated when sold; keep the receipt and Darden support can verify it.

What to do with a Ruth's Chris card you won't use

The most fitting use is a special-occasion dinner — a prime steak and a glass of wine make a dent in the balance — and it's a generous regift for anyone who enjoys fine dining. Restaurant gift cards like this aren't something FlipGift can buy or sell; our escrow marketplace is limited to shippable retail-store cards. If you happen to hold one of those instead, you can browse the stores we cover.
