GC for the holidays???

[5swans0805]

Not sure if this is the right place, but I am starting to look for the deals.

A lot of places during the holiday season will give you XXX if you buy a GC for thier establishment.

IE: Chick-Fil-A usually gives you a free calendar WYB a $25 GC.

I LOVE these deals, because it gets me free stuff on things that I am already planning on buying. Just looking for the thread, I haven't seen any yet, but I live in a very small town, so I don't normally see them!!!

Bonefish (a fairly expensive restaurant) is giving a $20 GC when you buy $100 in GC. I take that to mean you could buy 4 $25 GC or something like that to get the free $20.

I am waiting for some of these too! We have a bad habit of eating out too much (I hate to cook!) and so I plan on cashing in on some of these this year ;-)

great thread! hope to see some more

[trvaliant]

Agreed...this will be a great thread. Thanks 5swans0805...I haven't seen much out there yet either but I plan to snatch up some Chick-fil-a calendars at the very least this year! I will post what ever I find and try to keep a nice running list once it gets going;-)

Wish I had a lot more money than I do, LOL. This is the time of year to buy GC's that you can use all year round and benefit from the incentives that company's throw in to entice you to buy theirs. If only I had all of the money I knew I would spend at each store during the course of a year and be able to buy GC's that give you that little extra, what a savings that would be!! Last year, Ruby Tuesday did something like buy $25 GC get a $5 GC. This is right by our house and we like to go and watch football games there so this was a great deal for us. HOpe they do it again!

[trvaliant]

I've found nothing new-but did get the Chick-fil-A calendar...it is $6 and has over $25 worth of free food. All stuff I'd buy too! So, .50 per food coupon seems like a bargain;-)

I love these sorts of deals. too bad my holiday will be tighter than last year so I am not sure how much money I can have tied up in gift cards this year. Last year Barnes and Nobles, coinstar and cheesecake factory all had promotions of this sort. I bought christmas and end of school year gifts for my son's teachers at B&N last year and got a free $10 gc for me. It was so nice on the crazy last week of school to just be able to pull the giftcards out of a drawer and send them into school.
