Thanks for the code!
I found out that I can get 50% here: https://www.destinationrewards.com/index.jsp
I became automatically a member through Embarq (commercial phone-line, former Sprint). Don't know how else you could join.

I haven't visited restaurant.com in about a year. I am shocked to see the amount of restrictions that they now put on the "gift certificates" (I use that term very loosely). One of my favorite places that I had used a number of $25 certificates on last year now has additional restrictions of:
- $50 minimum food purchase (other places are now up to $35)
- only valid for dinner
- not valid Fri/Sat
- 18% gratuity added before discount
on top of the restriction that requires the $$$ to be applied only to the food purchase.
Whereas you used to be able to save over 60% on your *total* bill, savings are now in the 20-30% range. Not bad, but hardly spectacular, since Diners Club and others will give you 20% cash back on your total bill (including alcohol and tip) at hundreds of restaurants anyway...

I finally tried a "new" place Saturday w/one of my certificates. It was nice and while they are no longer in the program, they DID honor my certificate. The waiter seemed a bit surprised and said he hadn't seen one in quite awhile. That's because I bought it in 11/2004 
In California, they never expire ^ I wouldn't have been shocked if the manager came & said they aren't accepting them any longer....but it was accepted with no qualms 
I have also had the occasional email from restaurant.com stating that a restaurant was no longer participating and offering me a credit for unused certs.
Also as mentioned above, a couple of places that we do like still participate but have upped the minimum food purchase to $50
Fortunately, there are still allot of participating places in our area

Maybe the restrictions are getting out of control? 
I did a search and found some restaurants that state this:
Another one states BOTH these on their certificate:
I did a search and found some restaurants that state this:This Gift Certificate entitles you to $10 OFF the food portion of your bill -- with a $30 minimum food purchase.
Not sure I will go out of my way to try somewhere new that my net discount is $8.50 (in lieu of $21-22)Another one states BOTH these on their certificate:
Valid with the purchase of 4 or more entrees. Dinner only.
Valid for parties of two (2) or more unless otherwise stated.
So they are really insisting on FOUR diners... Guess the bottom line is that the savings are becoming diminished and to be sure and read all the fine print before purchasing.
