During the holiday season, restaurants and stores will encourage gift card sales with bonus offers. You’ll get a little bit more for your money this way. If you’re buying for a gift, that means you may get a reward of your own with your purchase. Even if you’re only buying for yourself (upcoming date nights, gift purchases, etc.), every little savings can help stretch your Christmas budget a little further.

Thank you for posting gift cards at the site. Please lets keep it up. During the Thanksgiving Holidays gift cards are being offered as much as 20% off which really helps stretch the Christmas dollars. I especially look forward to when Meijer gift cards are discounted. Last year VIsa cards were discounted at $15 (with a $7.95 activation fee) at Meijers.
Jolyn says
I remember that deal – it was a good one!
Kelly L. says
Just a thought… we used to have this amazing waitress at Applebee’s. We were regulars of hers. During the holidays they would run the free $10 gift card when buying $50 worth of gift cards. Well, our smart waitress would suggest we buy one right off the bat, and then use it to pay for our meal that night, keeping the bonus card for later! Brilliant! I know it’s not the idea the restaurant had in mind. But, hey…there was no rule against it!
Jolyn says
I totally agree with that!
shannon says
I worked at a restaurant that did something similar a couple years ago.We loved it when our regulars bought the cards. The higher ups want to see numbers. So win win for everyone!
Jolyn says
That’s great to know, Shannon!
nikole says
I had an mperk for $5/25 tim Horton card purchase. Would I be able to combine that and still get the $20 checkout coupon? And also is the $5 off a one time thing if its with in the same transaction? Like if I bought 4 cards would I get $5 off each card purchase?
Jolyn says
Will that mPerks coupon last until 11/28 or does it expire beforehand? If it’s still valid, you could use both! If you bought 4 $25 cards, you’d only save $5 once in that transaction (unless the digital coupon states otherwise).
