30,000 opentable points - how would you spend?
 
Assume you had 30,000 opentable points to redeem. For those that don't know this converts to essentially $300 in certificates that can be used at any opentable restaurant (I believe).

How would you spend it?

Would you:
1) Use small denominations a bunch of times. I.e. Get $50 off of six meals out.

2) Use a bigger denomination few times. I.e. Get $100 off three meals out.

3) Blow it all on one nice dinner. I.e. Put $300 toward one meal.
What would you choose?

If you don't have a spendy restaurant in mind that you could use the $300 at, then I'd do option 1 above.

The larger the print, followed by the 2 smaller ones.

I see you are currently in NYC... so if I were you, I would choose #3... A fine dining for two (of course, the other party has to still pay $275) at Per Se sounds good to me right now :)

2 or 3. If there was a really special place that I wanted to go ,#3 -but not just for the sake of going there if I didn't already really want to go.

2 gives you a few decent meals that won't put much if any dent in your wallet. That is what I'd likely do.

1 seems like a waste.

Well, I'm getting close to that number...I have a little over 20K at this point...saving it for a special night out.
I don't mind paying for the $50-$100 meals out with the family, but the high ticket ones seem to stick in my proverbial craw...;)
