Restaurant.com - half price gift certificates
Currently running a half-off promotion at this site, which has been discussed here before.
Your discount code is: 58004 If you haven't before, give this a look. You are buying a gift certificate to a restaurant, at a price well below its face value. I just bought several $25 GCs, paying either $10 or $5 for them... and on top of that I apply the 50% discount, meaning that the $25 in food costs me either $5.00 or $2.50. Some places have strings attached - read the details. Some restrict what days of the week they are usable for, or require a party of a certain size, that sort of thing. But if you can find a local restaurant that you visit anyway, and the restrictions (if any) aren't a problem -- this is basically free money. The way this works, incidentally, is you pay them (credit card or PayPal), and they send you a link to print out the GC yourself. It will have a serial number that the restaurant uses to confirm it -- and I have never had any problem using them. Good deal all around, it seems, as long as the restaurant values the patronage enough to sacrifice its regular prices. Restaurant.com |
FYI - I believe the discount applies through 3/11.

1 restaurant within a 30 mile radius, down by the beach. Oh well. Thanks for the link, I'm thinking this might do my parents in Dallas a bit more good than me.
|
Sweet, I can get a discount when dining at the Foggy Goggle.
|
Dola- In Boston, Vinalia is on the list. I heard this place was great. It says you have to present the coupon before ordering, and given the area and nature of this restaurant, I don't know what kind of service you'd get. But if you're in the Boston area, this is a pretty awesome deal.

I could get them for the Bayou Grill but between my wife and me, we don't spend $35 there so that nixes that idea.

Wow. I get 6 pages of hits for my location, and that doesn't even reach to Baltimore or Washington. |
I just witnessed the timestamp bug in action. My post was after QS's because I hadn't seen that before, yet my post ends up a minute earlier than his. Almost like catching an X-Ray burst from a black hole.
|
Or you could go on ebay and buy a $25 gift certificate for $30.

I just did a search by region of Florida, and there are a total of 18 restaurants from Gainesville to Pensacola. Perhaps they've bought into the mistaken belief that most people in NW Florida don't have electricity, much less internet access.
Although, I will admit that I've seen people at restaurants in this town for whom a night at Red Lobster was worth the 75 minute drive, and who will probably be back in town in 2 months for another "big night out." Still, there are a few of us who can't show you exactly where Deliverance was filmed. |
If you ever in the Rockville area, Amada Amante is really good.
|
QS - any recommendations for the MD area?
|
Hey Quik, have you ever eaten at the Tidewater Grille in Havre de Grace?
My wife and I had two of our most romantic and tasty meals there several years ago. Great view of the river and all. |
Nicks Chophouse in Rockville is also really good.

Well, I didn't see anything in the Columbia area that really struck my fancy, though when searching, I did decide to buy a couple of $25 GCs for Zapata's, as Mrs. Q and I are on a seemingly endless quest for a decent Mexican brunch buffet. However, if you are at all interested in more "exotic" foods (no, not the salad bar at a strip club), I would highly recommend The Mango Grove, which is an all-vegetarian, Southern Indian restaurant in Columbia, which is just dynamite. If you're willing to drive a little ways, the best seafood around is at an out-of-the-way joint in Lanham, of all places. Jerry's Seafood is a little dumpy, won't take reservations, and is pretty expensive. So, why bother? Oh. My. God. And if you might be inclined to have Chinese, the best around will be a bit of a drive for you as well, but Grace's Fortune (sorry for the lousy link) is outstanding, and has a knockout Sunday Buffet for about $18. We're there about once every three weeks, it's sensational. |

Have never been... we don't get up that far north too often, except when we're flying through on our way to Atlantic City, and then there's no time to stop for scenery, you understand. |
We just bought 2 $25 gc's for a great italian place called Dominicks....and 2 $10 gc's for a new italian place called Asiago that we have been thinking about trying...total of $15.50 for all 4 :)
Thanks QuikSand!!!!! |
Thanks for posting this, Quik. The girlfriend and I just got $110 worth of gift certificates for only $21.50.
Absolutely awesome... :) |
new code, fellas. 50% off:
14401 |
dola, expires on the 8th
|
So if I was a server at one of these restaurants I would go to this site, buy the gift certificate,then charge someone full price for their food, use the GC and pocket the difference. :)
|
WOW I have to drive 5 freakin hours to get to a resturant that qualifies! Please get me orders out of the state!!!!!! :mad:
P.S. Thanks for the link though. My sister's family can enjoy :) |

Hopefully they're paying cash. It's hard to scam The Man when folks pay with CCs... ;) |
Get 'em while they're hot!

Restaurant.com is once again having a sale on restaurant gift certificates. Enter the coupon code CRAVE when you're checking out, and get 70% off the already discounted CG. For instance, I just bought a $25 gift certificate to a local Indian restaurant for $3...
Follow the link for more details. Restaurant.com coupon: 70% off - dealnews.com |
Not that anyone here would not do this, but just in case, you should leave a tip for the pre-discount amount.

Ha. |

The biggest text on the certificate says, "Please Remember To TIP YOUR SERVER On The Full Value Of The Guest Check." :) |
Dang, all of my favorite places in Austin are either not there, or listed as 'sold out' :(
|
We LOVE restaurant.com, use it frequently for a couple of local places. I bought my parents one of the $125 gift certificates for Christmas, I had a promo code so I paid $50 for it, then with the promo codes for 50 and 70% off, they were able get at least double that in restaurant certificates. They loved it.
|
Question, if I buy two or more cards for the same location, would they let me use them at the same time? Or is that usually not allowed?
|
Nope, not allowed. In fact, you're not supposed to use certificates at the same location more than once a month, but I'm not sure how they enforce that...
|
We've used them more than once a month, but have never used two in the same visit. They also won't let you "split" the check between 2 couples and each use one...one coupon per table.
|
Most of them state on the printout that they are for one table per visit per month.
At least the ones I bought for this swanky place here in buffalo did. |
Totally doesn't surprise me that the GC's for the Bear Pit are out of stock. That there is some good BBQ.
|
Not sure how valid it is, haven't tried it out yet.
But someone in my office just sent out a mail with 'CRAVE' as the current password to save up to 70% at restaurant.com |
Quote:
All the ones they have on there locally say they add the tip to the bill. |

Check post #25... :) |
CRAVE is a great value, I got 4 25$ certificates for 12 bucks.
|
Today only they are offering 80% off certificates. The key word is: FIRST
|
I assume that they mail you the certificates...never used this site before but if you all say it's legit...
Sorry...no need to reply...I just read the first link again... |
you print out the coupon and take it with you. Ive used it multiple times....and it is spectacular.
|
It's hard to believe that it's 80% of the restuarant.com price. I'm definitely going to try this out.
Does anyone know what is the expiration date - generally speaking. |
Thanks again guys...I just order $60 worth of certificates for $4.80.
Thanks Clemsonfan for offering up the code. Do you get emailed the code or is it mostly word of mouth. |
I got emailed the codes. They will email you discount codes from time to time once you order from them.
|
They have actually extended the sale through Sunday now.

I think it's 1 year from purchase. |
I used one of the gift certificates today and it worked great. Thanks again for the heads up...
|
This is fantastic. I ordered 100 worth for 8.00. Thanks to all for putting this up! The FIRST code worked as of today at 10:15pm
|
Fifty percent off certificates through Sunday. Discount code word: GOODBUY
