Restaurant GC deals

[pamela]

I just bought $200, get $40 free at a restaurant we go to often (regional chain - Zea Rotisserie). Anyone know of any similar promotions at other chains? I'd like to stock up now and save money next year since we are going to eat out anyway.

I saw something on twitter the other day about Outback having a spend x (maybe $100?) get y ($20?) promotion

I vaguely remember something for the California Pizza Kitchen.

I assume that the restaurants would have the information on their websites?

Seems that most chains offer something like that. You just have to be careful because the promo card usually has an expiration date.

The promo card in the case of the one we bought is valid 1/1-12/31, 2013. The actual GCs don't expire. I definitely did check on that.

Have you checked out restaurant.com? I swear I see 80% off codes all the time.

Outback/Carrabba's, Logan's Roadhouse, Ruby Tuesday, Longhorn Steakhouse, Chili's, Olive Garden.... I think most of the big chains do this now. We even have a few local places that do it as well.

Houlihan's usually runs a similar deal. I think Chili's might as well.

I will never use another Restaurants.com deal again. They are so freaking restrictive that they aren't even worth "80% off".

This varies greatly according to the restaurant. It should list the restrictions on the gift certificate before you buy it. If there is a minimum you have to spend or something like that, just look at the menu (which is linked) and make sure it's within about the range you would need to spend for how many ever people you will be taking with you. They also usually have 90% off sales at some point if you sign up for their e-mails.

I know Carrabbas is doing one.

I'm considering buying some Half Price Books GCs as they are giving a $5 one if you buy $25. I buy most of our children's books there

I did this for my favorite local restaurant! Spent $100 got $125
