$25 gift certs for $10 sometimes on sale for $2 for $25 cert!

I have NOT used this myself, but a caller on the Dave Ramsey show recently called in singing it's praises....let me know if anyone uses it! (will probably get to it before I do these days....)

I think it's a great deal IF you would be spending the minimum required to redeem them... I checked local places, and the minimum is a lot more than we normally spend...

I used it before and used it on special occassions and didn't have any problems.

I've looked into it, but the restaurants that particpate here and not our fav's, so we haven't tried them. It looks like a pretty good deal. Here, you can pick up a $10 "gift card" for $3, then you have to spend at least $20 to use the card. So you are getting a $20 meal for roughly $13. It looks like it would be a good deal, you just need to read the "Fine print" because it is different for every restaurant. Some specify you spend a certain dollar amount and others say you have to buy two entres, etc.

It looks like a good deal though!

I have used them and they are a deal. Give the cert to the waitress when you order so she has time to call and confirm. One time I gave it to her at the end of the meal and she had a hard time getting through to get the code from them and we had to wait forever after our meal. I do miss them though. The restaurants in our area our not using them like the were before and either they are for someplace I don't like or their for a place an hour or so away.

We have not used them since they're more like a coupon with a minimum purchase required. And the minimum is usually different for lunch & dinner. I don't really want to pay for a coupon when I can clip them from the sales flyers that come with the paper or other weekly ads that get dropped off.

If anyone's interested, the certificates are currently 70% off when you use the code PREZ.

For me, I'm buying a $25.00 gift cert. for $3.00. Minimum purchase is $30.00, so I can take the family out to dinner for $8.00 plus tip. Not bad at all!
