Any GCs that I can buy that can be coded as restaurant at Discover? I have been trying to avoid this since it is not very good to let GC guide your food spending.
What you can do is buy gift cards or gift certificates for that restaurant at restaurants you like to visit repeatedly. Buy those gift cards or gift certificates during Q3, and then use them in subsequent quarters. Just don't sit on them for too long, lest the restaurant go out of business with you left holding worthless gift cards or gift certificates.
