special promo I cam across... just bought $200 worth of food gift certificates for $16 total.
go here:
http://www.restaurant.com/
pick the places you want
apply coupon "Treats"
there ya go - 60 % off to start, then additional 80% off with promo = 92% off
one thing to pay attention to are the contingencies... i.e. days you can use them, minimum purchase requirement, etc.
enjoy! let me know if it helps you guys out
this is legit??

You have to present them to your server before you order. I used to do this alot with my wife, but you do have to get past the 'I feel like a cheap prick' mentality.
pfff, I race... meg knows the rules (or she will when I get home today) - ramen noodles, or 92% off gift certificates!Quote:

I def. wouldn't recommend using these if you guys are still into impressing girls with dinner venues. I leave the impressing to the bedroom, and not dating anyone new.
This may have salvaged my relationship... we haven't gone out to eat forever.... but she sees all these shiny bits ending up on my bike!!!
*edit: by "she" I mean Denno, obviously.
yes, it's legit
I've bought many gift certs off this site.
Bummer is they expire and they can't be applied towards booze.
But overall, it's a great deal.
BTW - I'm a cheap prick
Says they expire 1 year from purchase date except in CA or where prohibited by law... I thought in MA they banned purchased gift certs from expiring?
:dunno:Quote:

I think that there is a diff in git certs and coupons. Gift certs you buy at face value, and ther worth face value..
GCs that you buy at face value from a retail outlet are good for 7 years under MA law. These night not fall into that catagory.
Well, be sure to get here early on Thursday and I'll have a romantic table for 2 set up here at the store for you. That way you can say you took her out. I'll even let you bring your 848 inside so it can sit at the table with you.Quote:

i have used this before, its a good deal to try new and diff places for cheap just read the fine print on some of them

Are you new around here?Quote:

Thanks buddy
I assume you can only use one per visit?
I.e. if a restaurant only offers $10 certificates, you can't use 5 of them to get a super cheap dinner?
im assuming no also... hence, I only bought from the places that offered 25 and $50 couponsQuote:

Ted's Montana Grill is in there. I'm definitely going to pick one of those up. For those that are close to South Windsor CT Ted's has some great food.
Good looking out Kitt. ;)
