i know that usually you can find codes to get 50percent off at restaurant.com. anyone know of any?

I have seen these posted often on Miles & Points SPAM - not sure if there are any there now. Those are a good deal.

50% is pretty standard. Every once in awhile, the discount is 60% (or $4 for the $25 certificates).

Valid from 05/01/2008 to 10/31/2008

They currently have a 70% off coupon (CRAVE) that's good through 7/31/08.

Cool! I like more savings.^

Restaurant.com is running their first ever 80% off coupon TODAY ONLY (8/8/08) until 11:59pm CST. The code is "FIRST". This makes $25 certificates (normally sold for $10) cost only $2. I just bought about a dozen. One incredible thing about this coupon is that since it's early in the month there's still a relatively good selection available. Normally, the best they do is a 60% or 70% off near the end of the month when all the good restaurants are gone. Enjoy!

The word must be out on this sale. I've been trying off and on all morning. I can't get past the Home page. I've used the coupons before. this is a good deal.

Yes, the site is real slow today, but I managed to get a few for Orlando for our trip in January, and a few for local restaurants. Now, let's see if I remember to use them!

Same code as before - FIRST

Valid through Sunday, Aug 10

Just found the actual code GRAND for a 50% off .... expiration unknown ...

Just passing on a deal for my fellow travelers..

goto restaurant.com, type in your zip code. Buy a 10, or 25.00 gift certificate. Enter code "SURPRISE" get 80% off.

10.00 certificate for 60 cents.

Enjoy

I'm getting - The discount code you used has expired.

Thanks for the heads up though.

The promotion is still there, but at 70% now. The code is "thanks". If you go to the restaurant.com site, you can sign up to be a member (free), and they will e-mail you all of their promotions.

I have been a member for a few years now, and have saved quite a bit of $$$. Sometimes, the requirement for a particular restaurant is you must spend a minimum of $35 or $40. We "get around this" by bringing our daughter with us - and having no problem with the minimum.

Don't know if this is the right board, but I just stumbled on this via a promotion that Borders Books has been running:

http://www.restaurant.com/index.asp?pgn=home

There is a promotion through midnight* tonight for purchasing gift certificates.

The promotion is to get a $10 gift certificate for $1.80 (normal cost, $4), a $25 gift certificate for $4 (normally $10), $50 gift cert for $8, $75 cert for $12. (The promo discount is 60% off the normal price of a gift certificate.) There are minimum dine spends: For a face value $10 cert, it's $20. For a face value $25 one, it's $35. For a $50 one, it's $100. For a $75 one, it's $150.

How: You register with the program for free, then search for a restaurant you like in the program, then choose what certificate(s) you want. When you proceed to buy, enter the code MOTHER.

Even without the promotion that ends today, it's a good deal.
Sorry to be so late in discovering and posting this.

Gift certificates, please excuse the spelling error, my bad.

They are $25.00 gift certificates you buy from them for $10.00. Is this cheezy? Do restaurants who accept these certificated or the "entertainment book" coupons give you a bad meal when you use these products?

Do you present these products when you receive the bill or when you order?

I know, you tip on the total amount before the discount.

I've never had a problem using the certs as long as I fulfilled any of their requirements stipulated. Google for coupons at restaurant.com. Often there are 40-60% off coupons at restaurant.com which make the certs more attractive.

I've used them often and never had a problem. There's nothing cheezy about them, they're a promotional tool by the restaurants. As mentioned above, keep your eyes out for sales on restaurant.com, you can often pick up $25 certificates for $5 or $6 each. Do a search and make sure there are places you want to eat in the cities you visit.

Thank you for your answers. I received a "free" $25.00 coupon and have to pick a place, saving for LAS.

I use them routinely throughout the year for local restaurants that we like, and always check before traveling to see if I might want to use one in that location. I buy gift certificates when they are having a 50-60% off sale (usually 1-2 times per month), then hold them in my account to order and print the actual restaurant certs just before I need them. Once or twice a year in the past they have had 70% off sales! Check the S.P.A.M. forum for the discount codes, or sign up for restaurant.com emails and they will send them to you.
Only twice have I had a cert and when I went to use it the restaurant was no longer accepting them. A quick call or email to restaurant.com and my account was credited immediately.
I have given the gift certs as gifts frequently and they have always been appreciated. They are great as gifts to a new college grad or anyone who is moving to a new location.

I've received a couple of free ones with the Entertainment book. Spent a bit of time finding a restaurant in my area where I wanted to eat and not spend a lot of money above the $25 off on two meals. When I found one, it was a good deal: two buffets with pop and tip for less than $10 each. No problem using the cert.

I've used them many times without any issues. Make sure you read the fine prints though.

i've used them several times and never with a problem. i've also used the entertainment book coupon (try for free at www.entertainment.com/freetrial) and never a problem except once, when a small local Mexican restaurant decided they didn't want to take the coupons anymore.

We've used them sporadically as well. No problems to report. We offer up the cert at the time we order, in case the staff needs to verify anything. Service has always been the same as w/o using a certificate. They're good for us, because we don't have to start the "where are we going for dinner" discussion that invariably ends up with one or both of us cranky and having cereal. This way, we pull out the file for certificates and look to see what holds appeal to us that day. Good luck!

I have found these to be great... we use them all the time.... and the local restaurants do not even hold us to the only once a month usage.

One of the greatest deals on the internet....

A friend of mine is in love with these, but sometimes he forgets to read all the terms and their use is rejected. I just laugh.

So just make sure you do your homework.

I love Restaurant.com GC's! I've discovered some great restaurants through them, and great deals to boot. One simple rule: don't ever pay the regular price. There are always discount codes to be had (check the S.P.A.M. forum right here on FT for a long running thread). If the code you found is expired... just be patient as another one will pop up soon. The great thing is that the certificates are stored in your account and can be printed and re-printed anytime. Don't worry about misplacing it, just print a new one! A plus for CA residents: they never expire. Otherwise they are good for one year.
