What: Discount of 80% off cost on Restaurant.com’s gift certificates
Where: Restaurant.com
Coupon Code: SAVE – Expires on Thursday, June 10th – UPDATE! New code is FRESH and it expires on July 16, 2010
We’ve talked about Restaurant.com before on OffCost.com as a great place to get gift certificates for local restaurants at great discounts. Just about every month they have been putting out coupon codes where you can get 80% off but only for a couple of days. Then they go back to 50%, 60%, etc. So, if you miss out on this one ( or can’t find a restaurant you feel like visiting ) check back with us in a couple of weeks and you can get the updated code.
How it works: You visit the site, enter your zip code or city ( maybe you are traveling on vacation – enter THAT city ) and you will see the restaurants in that area that are currently participating in the program. With the coupon code you can get 80% off which means a $25 gift certificate is now only $2. Important: Be sure to read the “fine print” on each restaurant’s offer. Some require you only visit during lunch, certain days of the week, or spend a minimum amount. But, some are wide open.
Example: We like a local Steak House in the north Dallas area called Parker Bros. Steak House. They are on the Restaurant.com website and you can purchase a gift certificate for $25 and pay only $15. But, when you enter the coupon code you get another $12 off so now its only $3. The “fine print” is: Minimum purchase of $45. 18% Gratuity added prior to discount. Valid for Dinner, Dine In ONLY. Excludes: Holidays/Special Events, Other Offers/Promotions. Excludes Specials.
What my deal REALLY is: In the above example I am getting a $25 gift certificate for $3 but I have to spend at least $45. So if my meal is $50 ( easy to do at a steak house ) then it really is only going to cost me $28! ($3 for the gift certificate + the remaining $25 balance ) Pretty cool huh? Especially since we were going to go there anyway! Go get it!
