The OP bought a $75 certificate and expects to use it on a $35 purchase? So what, the restaurant should give a free $35 meal and then also give back $40 in change? Clearly there was either a misprint on the site or the OP read the terms for the $25 dollar certificate and then bought the $75 dollar one.

Either way restaurant.com does not sell certificates worth $75 of food and allow them to be used on a $35 purchase!

I am not sure I understand.

Where do you see "a free $35 meal" if I paid for the cert?…

The cert says "minimum $35 food purchase" so I assumed it's to prevent us spending all the cert on drinks.

Didn't see any other $75 certs in the area so don't know what is "typical". As far as I've learned the certs are quite restricted (can only be used once per month, only on dinner menu) so it seemed reasonable to give such a discount for first time visitors to lure them in.

Now I understand it most likely was a typo but IMHO they should honor the cert anyway….not holding my breath though.
