It’s that time of year again—restaurants everywhere are offering holiday bonuses with your gift card purchases. Even if you have been carefully planning and shopping for months, chances are it still comes down to a few hard to buy for family members. Gift cards are a quick and easy option. Restaurant gift certificates, especially, are a nice option to give your loved one a night out at a later date. With these holiday bonus offers, you can get a little extra for you as you knock off a few names on your list.
Most of the offers include a free gift certificate good in January when you buy a set amount of gift cards. Of course, you don’t have to give the gift cards away if your shopping is complete! Take advantage of the special offers to jump start your dining budget for the new year. If you are dining out yourself in December, buy a gift card when you arrive at a participating restaurant, then use it to pay for that evening’s dinner. The bonus gift certificate is yours to use during your next visit. Or, stockup on gift cards for your favorite restaurants to use throughout 2012.
