$25 certificates for $2!! No kidding!
I would never forgive myself if I didn’t take 2 minutes to tell you about this.
Restaurant.com is a site that allows you to purchase restaurant gift certificates at crazy discounts. For example, you can generally purchase a $25 gift certificate for $10 so under normal circumstances, this is a good deal in itself.
Today, I was surfing around and hit a CNET article written by Rick Broida. Rick caught wind of a promotion that allows you to buy a $25 gift certificate for $2. It sounds nuts but I just did it and it worked like a charm. I paid $20 and ended up with $250 worth of gift certificates. Not too bad, especially with the holidays coming up.
When you get to their site, simply search for restaurants in your area and add them to your shopping cart. Once your done, enter TREATS in the promo code box contained in your shopping cart. After I paid, I was able to print these certificates from my PC within minutes so I can actually use one for lunch today.
Please note that this deal expires on October 31st, 2008 and you have one year to use the certificates you purchase. It’s also worth noting that most of these offers have minimum purchase amounts so be sure to check that out.
