You know there is one thing about the bonus cards or coupons this post is about that irritates me. YES, I am grateful for the places that offer a bonus though I fully believe it helps the restaurant even more than the consumer.

But, in the past couple of years there has been a trend to have the bonus item expire quickly instead of it being a gift card with no expiration date. Last year, for example, Half Price Books - a place where I have bought gift cards regularly for years - advertised a $5 gift card bonus with purchase but when I received it, it was actually a coupon off a future purchase with a VERY short expiration. Not good and this whole practice REALLY stinks!!

A percentage of gift cards are never even redeemed - pure profit for the business and I feel this is intentionally done so consumers will be more likely to forget or not be able to use it because most expire so quickly after Christmas.

Thanks for "listening."
