Question Are restaurant certificates worth it?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this tread and have a few questions.

1. I have 15,000 FF miles with United which I will not be using for flying.
My daughter suggested I purchase Rest. cert. with my miles. Is it better to
purchase the ind. cert to a certain rest or buy the ones you can use like a
credit card ?

2. When I read the rules it's hard to figure out if they are worth it by the
time you purchase the min. amount ex. 25.00 cert but your bill has to be
35.00 or more. Then you have to add the tip on top of that which could be
15% or more.

3. If I have read it right the cert. expire 1 year after purchase of the cert.
Since they will all exp. in 1 year is it better to purchase them all at one time
or just when you need them?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
