Key Terms
- Expires September 23, 2023.
- Offer valid in-restaurant and for online orders made via CPK.com at participating locations in the US.
- Excludes locations within airports, hotels, stadiums or arenas, universities, and Guam.
- Excludes third party delivery orders, CPK Food Truck/Mobile Kitchen, CPK Frozen, CPK products purchased at third party retailers, and online purchases of gift cards, e-gift cards, bulk gift cards, and gift card reloads.
- Valid only on purchases made in US dollars.
Tips & Ideas
As the terms of the Amex Offer note, online gift card purchases won’t work – that’s because those payments aren’t processed by CPK. However, you should be able to buy a $50 California Pizza Kitchen gift card in-restaurant to lock in the 30% discount.
In the past there was an alternative version of this offer giving 1,500 Membership Rewards. We didn’t have that on our accounts, but that’s not to say there’s not a version like that floating around. There’s also been a version at times in the past giving $10 back rather than $15 though, so be sure to verify which version you’re targeted for.
If possible, load this offer to a card that earns more at restaurants like the Amex Gold card or Hilton Surpass.
Seeing as this offer doesn’t expire for a few months, it might be worth waiting to see if CPK will run some kind of bonus card promotion. If so, you might be able to get a $10 or $15 promo card when buying a $50 gift card in-restaurant, making this an even better deal.

You’re right – thanks for the heads up about that.
There is another not so useful $10 off $50 CPK Amex offer as well. So double check before using
Thanks – I’ve updated the post.

Hi Stephen, thanks for posting this. I noticed that there is an CPK gift card deal going on now online (Exp 6/30/23) Or is the AmEx offer only good in-store because the AmEx offer won’t trigger gitcards online?
THERE’S SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE THIS JUNE!Give $50 in eGift cards and receive a $10 eBonus card***, Now through June 30, 2023!
This is a tricky one. Online gift card purchases are processed on cpk.com, so in theory that should trigger the statement credit from the Amex Offer. However, the terms specifically exclude gift card purchases online; Amex doesn’t include those kinds of terms because they don’t want people buying gift cards but because they know that gift card purchases won’t code correctly for some reason. I therefore suspect that even though the transaction takes place on the CPK website, that payment is processed by a third party and so won’t trigger the Amex Offer statement credit. I’m far from being certain about that though – there’s certainly a chance that it would stack with the $10 bonus card offer online.
Stephen, thanks for letting me know. I think I’m going to pass on this deal, but if any of your readers try purchasing a CPK gift card online, a data point would be greatly appreciated!
