Get a $25 Restaurant.com gift card for $5!

Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Offer 300 x 250

Restaurant.com has a HOT promotion right now:  you can get a $25 Restaurant.com gift card for just $5!  This promotion ends tonight!  You can also get a $10 gift card for $2!

Here’s how you can take advantage of this great offer:

1.  Visit Restaurant.com here–> Restaurant.com $25 gift card for $5

2.  Enter your zip code to search for restaurants by location.  Choose a certificate and click on the green “Add to Cart” button.

3.  When you add items to your cart, make sure you enter the promotional code “CINCO” in the yellow discount code box at the top of the page.  Complete the check-out process.

DISCLAIMER:  Make sure you read the fine print on the gift certificate options!  They typically have restrictions such as:

-Minimum purchase of X required
-Gratuity added automatically based on pre-discount price
-Valid for dine-in/dinner only

I often get questions asking how this works or if it’s really a good deal.  It is for me.  Here’s an example.  I’m buying a $25 gift certificate for a local resataurant.  The “fine print” says that you have to spend at least $35 and that 18% gratuity is added.  Given the cost of food at this location, we would easily be spending $35 anyway.

Here’s a breakdown on pricing:

Buy $25 Restaurant.com certificate – $5 with promotional code

Spend $5 + $10 (because our total would be at least $35) and $6.30 for the 18% gratuity – we’re getting a meal that would have been $41.30 with tip for $21.30.  That’s half price!  Sounds like a good deal to me!
