The International House Of Pancakes has teamed up with Xbox so you can use your IHOP rewards to earn Xbox goodies like the full game download of Grounded, 1-month of XGP, and Forza Horizon 5 stuff. asking it the 5th casual or fast-food restaurant to partner with Xbox in less than 6 months iirc.

The new partnership between the International House of Pancakes and Xbox is going on now. IHOP offers a loyalty rewards program that's free to join where members can earn so-called PanCoins by making purchases. After signing up for the program, gamers can exchange their rewards for one month of free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a copy of the game Grounded, or a Forza Horizon 5 Add-On bundle offering a variety of perks.

At the moment, the cost of the three perks are as follows. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs 10 PanCoins, while Grounded and Forza Horizon 5's Add-On pack are 40 PanCoins each. Players can earn one PanCoin for every $5 USD spent at IHOP. While it's more affordable to simply buy Xbox Game Pass Ultimate outright, anyone who frequents IHOP or is just craving a big breakfast in the near future can earn enough PanCoins to try out Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost.

Paging Maiden Voyage because that Forza Family Feast sounds like a solid $30 American Breakfast

Do I have to tip?

Do I have to tip?

Pancakes, eggs, hash browns, hickory smoked bacon and pork sausage links. Serves 4. Available for IHOP 'N Go only, not available for dine-in.

I know times are tough and all, but I still couldn't imagine tipping someone for bringing food out to your car.

America, fuck yeah

They should have a marketing deal with Nintendo, because you’ll want a handheld to play while shitting your brains out after eating that trash.

Another point for the "life is a simulation" theory.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I can't, I just can't. hahaha

 

[Mikado]

Hmm. Well, call me when I can earn breakfast by playing videogames.

Peak America.

Never heard of it, but „The International House of Pancakes“ sounds great. If I will ever see such a house, I would not mind, if they gift me a FH add on.

If you buy the hour menu you can get double points now, according to what it says when you login. Not sure if it's for every area though.

However, this could be a quick way to stock up on Game Pass, or to get Grounded for free.
