Best Time of the Year for Gift Card Deals!

I have had a Gift card post on my to-do list for awhile and a ton of you have asked me to do one, but it keeps falling to the bottom of the list!  So, today, I am going to give you a little help on what to look for.

Just about every Restaurant will have some type of deal when you purchase Gift Cards during the Holidays.  For example, Chili’s, On The Border, Maggiano’s Little Italy and Romano’s Macaroni Grill are offering 10% off any $100 purchase in Gift Cards!

Some stores will offer a bonus gift card with purchase.  Some will offer a percentage off.  It just depends.  But, I would highly recommend not purchasing gift cards from restaurants who aren’t doing some type of promotion.  There are just too many that are.  So go with those guys.  That way, you can either save money.  Or, you can get a free gift card on top of what you purchased to keep for yourself!

To find out if your restaurant is offering a Gift Card Promotion, just head to their website!  They will have the promotion posted their either on the homepage or on the Gift Card page. 

Here are just a few Gift Card Deals I am seeing:

Applebee’s: Buy $50 in Applebee’s Digital Gift Cards instantly online, get a free $10 Digital Bonus Card.

The Cheesecake Factory:  Get a FREE Slice of Cheesecake with every $25 Gift Card Purchase

Texas Roadhouse:  Purchase $30 in Gift Cards, Get a Bonus $5 Gift Card Online.

Red Robin: Purchase $25 in Gift Cards, Get $5 in Bonus Bucks

Olive Garden: Purchase $25 or more in Gift Cards in a single transaction and receive a $5 bonus card

Red Lobster: Purchase $25 or more in Gift Cards in a single transaction and receive a $5 bonus card

Longhorn Steakhouse: Purchase $25 or more in Gift Cards in a single transaction and receive a $5 bonus card

See how easy it is to find Gift Card Deals???  Think of your favorite restaurant and check their website to see if they are offering a deal.  (Some Franchise Restaurants may only have an offer posted in-store.  So watch for that too.)
