Restaurant.com – Get $25 gift certificate for $2 (80% off)

Reminder – only four days left for the Restaurant.com 80% off sale!

Through July 31, you can save 80% off at Restaurant.com, this means you can snag a $25 gift certificate for only $2! This is the stock up price! Just use the promo code PLATE at checkout.

I LOVE Restaurant.com – one of the greatest features, besides $25 off your meal is how easy it is! A couple weeks ago we were headed up to Seattle to see a ZooTunes concert. . .I put in the zip code for the Woodland Park Zoo at Restaurant.com and found a whole list of restaurants in the area that were offering $25 Restaurant.com gift certificates for only $2. I was able to order the gift certificate, pay for it with PayPal and print it off all within five minutes. We were using it at the restaurant that evening! We found a new restaurant, saved $25 and it was super easy and fast.

This is also great if you are going on vacation somewhere!

Here’s how it works:

1. Visit Restaurant.com and enter the zip code for where you want to dine.
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 PLATE at checkout, to save 80% on your total! (Making $25 gift certificates only $2)
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.

We use these a lot! If you aren’t sure if your favorite restaurants apply, you can visit Restaurant.com and search by zip code to find out which restaurants participate. You’d be surprised – not many corporate restaurants, but really more of the mom-and-pop restaurants in your community.

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!
