MilesBuzz! - Restaurant Gift Card bonuses (Goldpoints. Any iDine?)

Seems a lot of national chains are offering you bonus bites/bucks gift cards when purchasing their restaurant gift cards this holiday season.

Didn't know if anyone knew of any iDine.com restaurants that had similiar deals.

Here are the offers that I am aware of.

Goldpoints:

Friday's

$5 gift card for every $25 gift card purchase


iDine.com restaurants:

Brinker International (www.brinker.com) properties include Chili's, Romano's, and others (On the Border, Corner Bakery). I have seen the same offer at On the Border. I would guess it is the same at all of them.

Another offer (Lettuce Entertain You restaurants) is mentioned here:

Other than the single reference to Goldpoints:

MilesBuzz?

I agree, more of a SPAM-type of topic. Anyway, here's a more comprehensive thread at Fat Wallet on this topic:

Of course you don't get the Goldpoints until the card is redeemed and then the points go to the redeemer. Still a better offer than the free software with giftcard purchase a few years back.

someone should figure out how you could use some series of idine or other el cheapo promos to get thousands of miles just to redeem thousands and get gift certs llike these, which can then be sold on ebay or something, where the user of such spin trickery a-la mylez phorummesque makes out witha few bucks on the side! multiply this by a few thousand $, tell us all how it was done on FlyerTalk and be the next freakin pudding guy!

wow!

Fuddruckers in parts of PA and in the Detriot area participate in iDine. The local (DC) Fudds is offering a $5 gift card with purchase of a $25 card offer. Not sure if the PA and Detroit locations have the giftcard offer, but seems to be a nationwide promo.
