AAdvantage eShopping restaurant.com: 33mi/$ DEC.2 ONLY
 
Just for cyber Monday - I saw they are offering 33 miles/$ spent.

In addition, you can use the code CYBER and get:

$25 gift certificate for $3 instead (usually $10)
$10 gift certificate for $1.20 instead (usually $3)

Offer is through AAdvantage eshopping as far as I can tell (Checked UA, DL, and US also). Seems to expire tonight, so act quick :)


Mods - feel free to merge if needed. I did a search and couldn't find this one mentioned yet.

wow, this is probably a better deal for me vs. the magazines.com one as I entertain clients and employees often and the price here is dirt cheap plus get some miles.

I've never used these before --are they relatively easy to use or are there restrictions galore (besides the minimum spend).

I've used them a few times. Felt it was pretty easy. Conditions are written on certificate itself (including on mobile device). I've been told a few times, sorry, alcohol not included, showed them the certificate which did not mention such thing and they accepted it.

Really easy to use...

Thanks for the info. and to the OP for starting this thread.

Yes if the certificates are useful this is a very good deal.

One question I haven't found the answer to during a quick look at the Restaurant.com website is "do the certificates expire ? "

And a 2nd question, "if the bill at a particular restaurant comes to $ 30 and I have a $ 25 certificate, I assume that I can pay the difference by cash or credit card ?"

If you buy a $25 "gift certificate" generally you have a minimum purchase of $40-50... So you will never only have to pay "just $5 more" and, the gratuity is almost always automatically added to the bill- 18%- on top of the original price- not the discounted price.

To me it is a scam.

They no longer expire (I believe), but restaurants come and go. There's a new feature that allows you to exchange for other restaurants if that happens (or if you wanted to anytime anyways).

You can pay the difference by credit card, but honestly a $25 cert usually has a much larger minimum spend than $30 :)

Thanks ! I hadn't considered the minimum spend part of the equation.

So in other words, if I am thinking of checking out a couple of restaurants using Restaurant.com certificates, and if I will probably spend $ 20 or so in each restaurant, then I should buy $ 10 certificates because the minimum spend is usually 2 X the value of the certificate ?

Well not necessarily...most restaurants allow one certificate a visit.

I look for restaurants I visit if I didnt know of this deal and if they're on here..great. Looks like for a $50 certificate. a $75-100 purchase is required. If I do a nice dinner for 2 and its often $75+, this is still a nice deal for me.
