With summer coming up and gas prices soaring, Cracker Barrel is hoping to help make some customers’ summer road trips a little more affordable.
The restaurant chain revealed exclusively to USA TODAY on Monday, May 18, that it is launching a 10-week sweepstakes, dubbed the “Fuel Your Summer Road Trip” sweepstakes, where it will give away $250,000 in food and gas to Cracker Barrel Rewards members.
From May 19 through July 26, 250 Cracker Barrel Rewards members will each win $1,000 total – a $500 Cracker Barrel gift card and a $500 gas gift card. There will be 25 new winners each week, the company told USA TODAY.
“Road trips are synonymous with summer and our goal is to help our guests take the trip, see the country and make new memories,” said Sarah Moore, chief marketing officer at Cracker Barrel, in a news release.

Rewards members can earn weekly sweepstakes entries with qualifying entrée purchases, whether dining in or ordering takeout or delivery via the Cracker Barrel app or online. Customers can enroll in Cracker Barrel Rewards at Crackerbarrel.com/rewards.
The company told USA TODAY each qualifying entrée earns one entry into that week’s drawing, with guests being able to earn an additional entry by adding an in-store retail item to their purchase. Cracker Barrel also said it will offer bonus entry opportunities, starting this week with a special offer tied to its Campfire Meals.
