Gift Card Promotions

[lovely1m]

Anyone know of any deals on Gift Cards? I hate buying them cause I can't get a deal on them for the most part, but I know some places run promotions. The only one I can think of is Applebees is doing $10 free if you buy $50 worth of GC. Any others you know of?

My sister did a roundup on her blog:

Hope this helps. I love getting a little deal for me when I'm buying gift cards. It's also a great time to think about buying yourself the gift card & also getting the bonus.

We do this a lot... just for our favourite places. IHOP, and other staples that we frequent. We'll buy the gift card, get the bonus, and then go and use the gift card AND the bonus for our meal. Saves us a little money, since we would have spent the gift card amount on the meal anyway, but buying the meal doesn't get you the free bonus!

Exactly. Applebee's is our go to place so I'm really considering picking up a couple of those gift cards because we're going to be spending the money there anyway. And I'll probably pick up a couple of those Qdoba cards too because my mom considers that a "treat" when I take her there. That and Fuddrucker's.

Oh no, all this talk about restaurants and now I'm getting hungry for lunch.

Here's another list: http://hip2save.com/2010/12/restaura...king-more.html

We've been known to sit down at a restaurant and then I'll go purchase gift cards with bonuses to use right then.
