#017 — 80% Off at Restaurant.com
Here’s a quick hit for you this morning — Restaurant.com is having an 80% off sale on its gift certificates. This means a $25 gift certificate to your local restaurant can be purchased for $2. TWO DOLLARS!
Promotional Code is valid through February 28th, 2009.
7 Easy Steps to 80% off at Restaurant.com
- Log on to Restaurant.com
- Search for restaurants in your area
- Click “Add to Cart” to choose a gift certificate to purchase
- Enter discount code: DINE
- Click “Proceed to Checkout”
- Follow directions for payment processing

Restrictions may apply. Usually you are required to spend a certain dollar amount at the restaurant to qualify your $25 gift card. For example, we went to a local sushi restaurant once that participated in the restaurant.com deals. It was required to spend $50. So basically, we got $55 worth of sushi for about $30. All told, it was a great time and nice to not totally break the bank to enjoy some sushi! There are plenty of other types of participating restaurants.
Sushi, anyone?

Cool, I’m going to tell my husband to get us one for sushi.
That is a great deal. But I could never find any restaurants that I would be interested in eating at. I guess its good for some people though. Just check the restaurants before you purchase.
@Travis @ CMM Travis, good point. Living in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, there are many restaurants to choose from, but in other markets, there may be slim pickins.
Also another word of caution – Often my wife & I will split a meal together. At most of these restaurants, you have to spend $35-50 before the gift certificate is valid. So in essence, this is only a good deal if (1) you already planned to go to a sit-down restaurant and were going to spend money anyway, or (2) you are going with more than just two people.
That’s why we went to sushi; it’s more expensive so we knew we’d end up saving money off of what typically could end up being a $60-75 meal.
By no means is it a substitute to cooking at home or grocery shopping, but if you were already planning a night out, it is worth a shot.
@TLMH I’ll make sure and pass the hint along! =)
