Restaurant.com – 80% off, get $25 for only $2

Just a reminder, if you’re planning to eat out this weekend, Restaurant.com released a new promotion code to save you 80% – which means you’ll get a $25 gift certificate for only $2. Use the promo code BITE at checkout. Sale goes through 3/16/10.

Here’s how it works:

1. Visit Restaurant.com and enter your zip code
2. Browse the restaurants in your area
3. You pick the restaurants you want and add them to your cart
4. You enter the code BITE at checkout, to save 80% on your total!
5. After you’ve purchased your gift certificates they just hang out in your account until you print them and you want to use them. They last an entire year. So you can print them when you buy them or print them as you use them, your choice. Print out the certificate, bring it to the restaurant and give it to your server.
6. Read the small print for your restaurant. Most require a $35 purchase and an 18% gratuity on the original bill total (which you really should be paying anyway.)

Here’s a dining scenario:

Spend $35 on dinner – $25 gift certificate = $10
PLUS 18% gratuity on $35 = +$6.35
TOTAL out of pocket at restaurant = $16.35
PLUS the $2 you paid for the gift card = $18.35 for a $42 meal (that includes a $7 tip!)

So it’s not a bad deal! Especially if you are going to be eating out anyway.

Read the fine print for each restaurant, as it can vary slightly. If a restaurant is sold out, check back at the beginning of the month. Check it out!
