Very cheap restaurant certificates!

[tmccullough]

I've never used the certificates at restaurant dot com, but on one my budget boards I frequent, someone had a post on there that through Halloween, if you use the code TREATS you can get a $100 certificate for $8 or $25 for $4. I looked up Orlando and there are a ton of restaurants that accept them for anyone going to Disney. It says they expire one year from date of purchase. Hope this helps someone.

These certificates are great! Just make sure you read the restrictions (clearly posted before you buy the certificate), as some can only be used certain times. Also, make sure you can spend the minimum purchase. DBF and I used one for brunch once, and we had to order so much food (and mimosas and mocha!) to meet the minimum. The minimum purchase varies by restaurant, but I've seen anywhere from $35-$50 for a $25 cert. Enjoy!

my friend from work and I try to limit our eating out to 3 times a month- we've been hitting $5.99 specials at a local restaurant. (I work 4 days- 9-8 shift so I am in the office for all my meals and I try to split a restaurant lunch into both lunch/dinner servings to make the cost more reasonable) One of our favorite restaurants has a 10 off 20 lunch on restaurant.com - they are an asian bistro and give huge portions but the avg cost is 9.99 or 12.99 for lunch. So it cost $0.60 for the gift certificate and we'll split the bill so it will be around $6 each for lunch with a nice leftover box!

Thanks, I have seen this information floating around here and was not going to even look. I still have 2 left that will be expiring in Dec if I can't enough people to take with me for a meal but I went ahead and took a peek.
I got a $10.00 GC for a new resteraunt that I have been wanting to try for $.60. DD and I will go there for lunch Friday.

I just used one this past weekend for the first time. I called the restaurant ahead of time and asked if there were any additional restrictions which there were not. Will definately buy from them again. Totally worth it.

What a rip off. I bought some certificates and never received any numbers or anything. There is nothing in my account. I emailed them twice without any responses. I am now contacting the BBB to get my money back!

Thanks for the info! I just got four $25 certificates for $8 - you can't beat that. And they accept PayPal for payment which was an added bonus for me. Thanks again!

Thanks. I also placed an order for 3 certificates for $6. DH and I will have some nice date nights this winter. All 3 rest. required a $35 minimum purchase.

they send regular discounts, for anywhere from 50-80% off the regular discounted price. So, the $25 that are regularly 4, are discounted another 50-80%!!! We use them all the time...the other restriction I haven't seen mentioned is that you can't use more than 1 a month at the same restaurant.

Make sure it is spelled correctly because if you invert the au to ua it's a shady site

For those who have given these as gifts, do you pick an actual restaurant or do you give a restaurant.com gift card for them to pick the restaurant of their liking? I'm thinking of these for stocking stuffers.

I am picking the restaurants because there are not too many in my area available, but they did have a great steak restaurant on it where we usually spend $50+ easily so the $4 i paid for a $25 coupon to the restaurant is a GREAT deal. My family will love it!

 

[mudman]

Okay I decided to give this a try, hopefully I'll be happy I did.
I only know of one restraurant on there.
I guess it will be fun to try some new ones.

I just picked up a 25 restaurant at a local Italian restaurant for 2. We love restaurant.com. We have never been cheated and the restaurant always accepts our coupons!!

I know my SIL and her friend used a bunch of them for her trip to Orlando a year or so ago and they seemed like they really enjoyed them.
They did mention they didn't use two.. I am not sure why but I am pretty sure they got a refund.
