BD's Mongolian Grill is offering $5 with the purchase of $25 but there are restrictions on when the $5 card can be used.

Our local news station is doing "buy it for 1/2" They find local business that will double your purchased gift card.
Smokey Bones was doing it for 25$ gift cards, went on sale thursday morning at 9am... at 11am when I got on, they were all gone.

I just bought a bunch of gift certificates from Restaurant.com (if you type in "Santa" in the discount box you get 80% off) In any case, I bought a few 25$ and 10$ gift cards for 9$. And all of them only required me to spend 10$ more than the original amount. Which I don't think there is one place we've eaten at without spending at least 20$.
Each restaurant has it's own rules. Some have a min purchase/entree, others include automatic tip, sometimes it's only good for a certain number of people. But I sure found it worth it.
