    No chipotle??? So disappointing.

    • Melissa S.

      I know it! They didn’t do it last year at my stores either. So sad. I heart Chipotle! 🙂

    • Lindak

      Agreed. Maybe because they do the free deal for educators once a year, they’ve stopped the holiday deals. I did get a discount on some cards earlier this year through either Krogers or Tom Thumb at least.

  2. Dallas

    This is great! Thanks for posting this Collin!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

  3. Jess

    These are the best deals!! I buy lots of restaurant gift cards around the holidays and they last all year. A local restaurant offered an additional $50 for every $100 card purchased. Such great deals!!!

    I can’t believe how many reward/gift cards have an expiration date anytime in 2015, much less only valid thru Jan. or Feb.?!?! WOW! Didn’t used to be like that. Many people that frequent these restaurants throughout the year go ahead and purchase gift cards during these promotions so they’ll have them to pay for their meals. Smart idea if u have the ability to so, especially considering a lot of these places offer little to no discounts otherwise. But limiting the reward to 1 or 2 months will certainly keep people from purchasing them for that purpose. it sure seems like the restaurants are better off not putting this restriction on the promotion, but I guess not. Sure comes across like the reward you get as a gift card that is Sally just as long as any other gift card they issue, but I guess it’s all in the fine print.
    This is similar to how walgreens is doing their jingle cash this year, and maybe last year too, where it’s a discount off of a certain minimum purchase, like $10 off $30. It didn’t used to be like that! When you earned $10 jingle cash, it was just like it sounds -youd have $10 to spend at Walgreens just as if it were $10 cash, even if u just want $10 in merchandise free. The jingle cash has always only been valid for a short time, & now they add a minimum purchase? Well that is no longer jingle CASH, IMO, more like a jingle coupon. Not nearly as motivating to earn jingle cash when they do it like this.

    • SLS

      Usually the gift cards you purchased can be used any time – its the extra reward that might have a limited time (like Cheesecake Factory’s Jan-March). I don’t think its that difficult to use 1 gift of $20 or something like it between January and March and use the rest of the gift cards as gifts or for yourself the rest of the year.

    • Kristine

      I buy as gifts for other people and then use to rewards for myself to enjoy a little dessert or present for myself since I don’t get very many things for myself. I don’t mind if they expire after a few months because I will forget about anyway after too much time has passed and if it expires oh well at least you still get the amount you paid so really its not like your out anything. Hope that helps you look at it in a different perspective as a positive treat and not as a negative.

    • jlgclassof2000

      Valid not Sally

      • Karen

        I agree on the Walgreens coupon being a coupon… should be like Kohls cash when you can use it on any purchase amount!

  18. Ashley

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post these! Makes it a lot easier for me to decide where to buy gift cards!

  19. EricaW

    Thanks, that’s a nice list! But any discount dunkin donuts gift cards?

  20. Lydia

    Subway- buy $25 in giftcards get a 6-inch free!

  21. Juju

    My Olive Garden had a gift card offer on the website -“Buy $50 gift card, get $10 bonus.” We bought the $50 gift card at the restaurant and got two “$5 off adult entree” gift cards that are good from 1/1 – 1/31/15.

  22. Heather C

    Sooooo appreciated. I was wondering who are offering these promotions! We have a “unintentional remodel” of my kitchen, as the hose to the frig that makes the ice leaked– into my wall & under the house. Unfortunately, we’ve had to eat out for the last several months, and it’s getting really old and expensive! Every little bit helps. I won’t have a kitchen for Christmas – be grateful for everything you have! 🎄

    • Karen

      Thanks for the reminder and I’m sorry to hear about your leak

  23. Jess

    I live in Harrisburg, PA and my local Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa is offering $20 off spa packages PLUS a $20 promotional gift card. Spa gift cards are also $10 off. This is such a unique gift for my hard to shop for friends and family! https://www.facebook.com/HandandStoneHarrisburg

  24. Natasha C

    I did the Red Robin Hobbit Movie Ticket Promotion. If you buy the special Hobbit gift card $25 or more (in-store or online) you get a free ticket to see the new Hobbit movie.
    We have pizza every friday so I did the Papa Johns promotion tonight.

  25. Vergin

    Bahamas breeze and chilis is offering $10 bonus card with every $50 gift card purchase and you can use the bonus card on anything you want unlike another restaurants like you have to buy 1 or 2 adult entrees to use the bonus card ( for ex: red lobster, Olive Garden )
    Thanks.

    Does anyone know the details of the Children’s Place coupon? Expiration, minimum purchase, etc.?

    • sarah

      I had a bad time with it a couple of years ago, and would not re-purchase. I intended to pair it with the gift card and use both at the same time, but no dice.

  28. Jacklyn
