Reminder!: Send $10 Restaurant.com eGift Cards for FREE
| December 16, 2012 | Filled under Freebies, Pay It Forward, Restaurants, Savings Joy |
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about an event I attended at Restaurant.com’s headquarters where we learned more about their company and their programs such as Double Deals and Feed It Forward. I just want to share this article written by Restaurant.com about the event and all the bloggers, including myself, that they got to meet. There’s also a REALLY GREAT video with some of my favorite Chicagoland bloggers at the bottom of the article (there were some technical difficulties so I was not able to be included in the video, but I am in the article
). Please check it out, and if you have time, visit the other blogs too!
And don’t forget that Restaurant.com’s Feed It Forward program, which allows you to send $10 Restaurant.com eGift cards to your family and friends for FREE, is happening right now through January 1st, 2013! *There is a limit of 100 recipients, including 15 from Facebook, per day.

Save & Give!: Restaurant.com Double Deals Program & Feed It Forward
| November 29, 2012 | Filled under Deals/Discounts, Food Joy, Pay It Forward, Restaurants, Savings Joy |
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending an event at Restaurant.com‘s headquarters to learn more about the company, their website, and some great offers they have going on for the holidays. In case you are unfamiliar with Restaurant.com, they offer restaurant gift certificates at a discounted price. For example, most $25 restaurant gift certificates only cost $10. They also often have promo codes to get an even deeper discount. I especially love to purchase gift certificates from Restaurant.com for gifts! You can choose gift certificates for specific restaurants (over 18,000 nationwide) or get general gift cards or eGift cards to send by email.
I have been using Restaurant.com for a few years now, but I thought it was interesting to learn that there is no money passed between the company and the restaurants. Restaurant.com is simply a way for restaurants to attract more customers by offering their gift certificates at a discounted rate. The cost is controlled by putting a minimum for each purchase when a gift certificate is used. I think the idea is pretty clever!
I have not used a Restaurant.com gift certificate for myself in awhile (we usually buy them for gifts to others), but I was happy to find out that they now have restaurant reviews on their website. The neat thing about it is that they are able to verify whether or not a reviewer actually ate at a restaurant and will only let a review be submitted if that reviewer used a Restaurant.com gift certificate at that particular restaurant. This ensures that the review is really authentic and trustworthy!
Restaurant.com has a couple of exciting things happening right now:
Double Deals Program
Restaurant.com just launched their Double Deals program which allows you to buy a $25 Restaurant.com eGift card and a $25 voucher to use a participating Double Deals business ($50 worth in gift cards) for just $25. This is a great deal just in time for the holidays! Click here for more information.
Feed It Forward: Celebrate the Spirit of Giving
Every year, Restaurant.com runs a program called Feed It Forward, which allows you to send FREE $10 Restaurant.com eGift cards to anyone on your list! This year, the promotion runs from today, November 29th, through January 1st, 2013, and you can send up to 100 $10 Restaurant.com eGift cards per day for FREE by accessing the Feed It Forward website and either logging into your Restaurant.com or sending them through Facebook! I have done this every year for the past 3 years and it feels great being able to give pretty much everyone I know a gift for the holidays. Head over to the Feed It Forward website to participate.

Question!: How long does it take to use a $240 Cold Stone Creamery gift card?
| September 9, 2012 | Filled under Food Joy, Restaurants |
About two years ago, I won a years worth of Cold Stone Creamery in the form of a $240 gift card at an event at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair. I was so happy to win the gift card because I LOVE ice cream (who doesn’t?), but I had just had a baby and was trying to LOSE weight! Lucky for us, it was during the winter, too cold to be going out for ice cream all of the time. We moved a few months later, so we didn’t have a Cold Stone Creamery close enough to go to all the time.
So, how long did it take us to spend $240 at Cold Stone Creamery? 1 year and 10 months! We just spent the last of it on our daughter’s birthday cake. I think we used the gift card on 6 ice cream cakes (all Strawberry Passion because it’s the yummiest ice cream cake EVER) and lots of Mud Pie Mojos, my favorite!
By the way, the Chicago Toy & Game Fair is November 17th and 18th this year at Navy Pier. We’ve had the pleasure of going the past 2 years, and it’s always a lot of fun! I’m really excited for this year now that Lia is old enough to enjoy it
