85-90% off Restaurant Gift Certificate ($25 GC only for $3/ $50 for $5 & $100 for $8

I never used restaurant.com gift card, but I have a friend who loves this offer.

Is it just my area or are the restaurant choices never good? Also, don't forget to read that gratuity and minimum purchase requirements that most of the gift cards have. IMO, gift cards shouldn't have such requirements.

I agree, the 18% gratuatity seems excessive (especially if it's not earned). I'll pass on this one.

I got 2- $25 gift certificates for $4. Can't wait to use them!!!

I tried this and it's expired already :(

Alive again! Use code COOK.

How do they always offer such HUGE deals??

Cool

These work fine, but really watch the fine print. One of the restaurant's in my town that has these is pretty picky about honoring them (go figure), and ymmv. Overall I've had a so-so experience, but I wouldn't discourage using them as long as you understand the limitations.

New 80% off coupon code CHOW!

This offer seems great, $25 for only $2! But it feels like its too good to be true? What's the catch?

The catch is basically that you have to comply with all the terms and conditions. The most common restriction is that you have to order a minimum dollar value of food. So, for instance, the $25 offer might require you to order $50 of food. I've used this a couple of times. As long as you have a decent idea of how much food you plan on ordering, then this works great. Not so great if you realize you're ordering half the minimum value and you have to pile on a ton of extra food just to make the certificate work.

New code is up

A restaurant here in town will no longer accept gift certificates from restaurant.com... My guess is that customers were complaining about the gratuity percentage being too high or the restaurant was losing money by allowing these certificates to be used.

This deal is alive, I just used it. They can offer such great deals because the certificates don't cost restaurant.com anything. There is no reimbursement to the restaurant. It is a low cost advertisement for the restaurant and 100% profit for the website. You usually see small local restaurants because they are the one's that need the cheap advertising.
