How does one use this. I have never used it since it feels too good to be true. Any fine prints that I should be aware of?? I see there is a minimum spend is that the only requirement
Ive used a few. After running into 2 places that refused to take them, I always call the restaurant first to be sure they take them before buying. And some specify dine in only in addition to the minimum required to purchase. They really do never expire, and you can exchange unused omes for different ones thru their site if you change your mind.
No problem
No problem. Sometimes a restaurant goes out of business but restaurant.com gives you credit to buy something else instead, so no loss. Some staff are clueless about the offers, so take a printout with you to the restaurant. It displays the instructions in detail for the redemption process.
IMO, it’s not always the most popular restaurants in town that offer these, so it’s a way to try something new without overspending.
I’ve used them without any problem. But when you buy a $25 gift certificate. You have to spend a minimum $50. I normally buy the $10 ones.
i have never had a problem redeeming one, as long i can find it to print on the website. some restaurants have a limited number to be printed per month, so they run out quickly at the beginning of the month, then more do not become available until the new month starts. by the end of the month, restaurant choices are more limited.
i have always followed instructions, such as minimum spend (spend $50 to use $25 certificate, for example) and spend minimum before tip. restaurants in my city have taken them pleasantly, no issues.
Make sure you check out the menu before you buy a certificate. I have found that it’s sometimes hard to meet the minimum spend without ordering extra items that I otherwise would not have ordered. Typically the minimum spend excludes tax, tip, and alcohol. And usually they add a required 18% tip to the entire non-discounted bill.
