You know buy $100 worth of GC get a $20 card etc.

Can you buy them...then ask for a table and use them?

Yes, at least we did this last year at Outback Steakhouse when they ran their special. We got seated, told the server we wanted to order gift cards, got that taken care of, then ordered and turned around and paid with one of the gift cards. The "bonus gift card" wasn't good until the following January which was fine with us.

Right. We do this with Applebees all the time. They offer something like buy $50 in gift cards, get $10 gift card free. We buy $100 worth, and get $20, but those $10 gift cards can only be used in a certain time frame (usually its like 2 or 3 weeks) and I think you can only use one of those free ones at a time.
