Restaurant.com codes.....
 
<a href="http://www.restaurant.com/index.asp?rpid=1647&raid=999&AID=5674455&PID=1768450" target="_blank">Restaurant.com</a> - 60% off of dining certificates, code: 65639

Restaurant.com has $10 gift certificates for $3, and $25 gift certificates for $10, so with the new code you can get:

$10 certificate for $1.20

$25 certificate for $4

Some prices may vary by restaurant, some certificates may require 4 people at your table, and some may have other restrictions on use. Restaurant.com is good at issuing refunds for people who have problems redeeming a certificate.

Man, that's a damn-good deal. Some nice restaurants in my area. Thanks dude.

How does that work? If the conditions say "Minimum purchase of $50/2 entrees", can you use two $25 certificates (bought for $10 each) for a $50 meal? With 60% off that would come to $8.

pizzamousechips 09-26-06 12:59 PM

I definitely need elaboration, because this is insanely good.

SuperJim88 09-26-06 01:36 PM

On all the restaurants that I've seen, all has condition of minimum spending. So it really is a promotional deal to get you to go to their restaurant. Still pretty nice deal though. :thumbsup:

Each certificate is different, you'll need to read through that restaurant's restrictions. I've used several of these over the past 4 years and have never had a problem. Some of the places ask that you spend a minimum amount of money and then apply the coupon. One place I frequent uses them and asks that the minimum order be at least $40.00 before you apply the $25.00 gift certificate (non-stackable). Another place I use them at just considers it $25.00 cash good towards a bill at any price and let's me combine them.

X 09-26-06 02:00 PM

When do you get a chance to read if there are more restrictions than the one I posted?

Oh, I see. It's a tab called Dining Certificates.

This one doesn't look so good.


Valid Sunday-Thursday with a minimum purchase of $50/2 entrees.

Limit one (1) dining certificate per redemption. Only one dining certificate can be used per party, even if the party is seated at separate tables and/or receives more than one check.

Use of dining certificates for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the merchant.
So you need to buy 2 entrees and spend at least $50 for you to be able to use a $25 certificate that costs $4. If they don't allow alcohol to make up the $50 it's not quite as good as a buy-one-entree-get-one-free unless you get cheaper entrees and spend the rest on appetizers.

Minor Threat 09-26-06 02:10 PM

Yeah - sounds like a simple gift certificate, non-stackable. Was there no minimum on it though? You could go eat there and spend $52.00 and drop the $50.00 and get out cheap.....

girlnextdoor 09-26-06 02:13 PM

None in my area. Closest 3 are in New Orleans. Do these restruants change often? Does anyone know?

mh4268 09-26-06 02:31 PM

This is a great deal if you have a restaurant you like on the list. Lemme see a $50 meal for 8 bucks equals more cocktails that night, woo-hoo.

Trevor 09-26-06 03:21 PM

Thanks OP. For $20 I now have $125 worth of food at a restaurant I like that is in walking distance.

That's the way I figured it.

scarab007 09-26-06 10:21 PM

Is this a one time use code - ie in the sense that I can use it once and that's it (so I better order all the stuff I want in bulk) or can I try a few places and then order some more w/ the code?

Buford T Pusser 09-27-06 12:20 AM

Any deals on burritos? :D

Stormfront13 09-27-06 10:10 AM

Bought some of these yesterday and tried it out last night. The waitress looked at it funny but there were no problems with them accepting it. Time to stock up!

I've never tried reusing a code, but once you're on their list, expect to get a new code (40-60% off) once every week or two, so don't worry about having to buy enough to last the rest of the year or anything (and keep in mind that they all expire one year after purchase).

I've used these for years to try various restaurants (and go back to some that became favorites). I've looked into the site from the restaurant's point of view, and they get NO compensation for the certificates, it's basically "free" advertising for them. That's why there are so many caveats to many of the certificates. I'm shocked that one restaurant was willing to stack them.

Caliking 09-27-06 08:13 PM

great find...i will be using this. thank you.

~~ PAL ~~ 09-29-06 03:28 PM

For those that are planning to stock up, keep in mind that ALL their certificates limit one use per month per restaurant. Also, you can only use one at a time.

Each resturant can also impose their own restrictions, such as Sun-Thu only, minimum 4 people, or minimum consumption (food only, exlcudes beverages). The minimum party requirement is the worst, because using a $25 cert only nets you $5.25 per person if you HAVE to bring four people.

There is also a slight chance that the restaurant may reject the certificate. It happened to me once when I waited nearly six months before trying to redeem the gift certificate. If this ever happens, you can go back to Restaurant.com and get a mega certificate which will allow you to pick an equivalent certificate at another network restaurant.

whotony 09-30-06 11:31 PM

seems to good to be true.

example

$25 cert for $10 coupon code makes it $4.

so i get a $25 for $4 and have to spend $35.
so i spend $14 on a $35 meal??

whotony 09-30-06 11:48 PM

did the code expire.
i was adding restaurants and then went to checkout and the code said expired\

it was showing the discounted price then it went to no discount.

also i left the site and lost my entire cart.

cgray 10-01-06 11:24 AM

used one last night at a nice denver area restaurant. deal was $25 off with purchase of two entrees. our meal total (two entrees and soup) was $38, +tax, +tip = $48 meal. subtract the certificate and add the cost of the certificate, the meal was about $27. nice price.

thanks OP

Yup - looks to be expired.

DVD.guy 10-04-06 02:58 PM

Thanks. I was able to use it on the 29th. :( Should have ordered more :(

Now that you're a customer, expect to get new coupons every few weeks (40-60% off). I get them FAR more often than I'm prepared to use them. I generally just delete them when I see them in my inbox because I know another one will be coming around soon.

mh4268 10-05-06 03:51 PM

50% off code:82626. Ends 10/8

John Galt 10-14-06 09:12 PM

Any new codes?

EDIT: NM 99923 50% off, looks like it expires tomorrow.

John Galt 10-15-06 12:53 PM

Quick question for those that have used this site before. Since the coupon expires today and I don't have access to a printer, can I go ahead and purchase a certificate and print it up at a later time?

Yup, you can print it any time. Purchases are saved on their website under my account.

trudeaup 10-18-06 04:21 PM

All previous codes seem to have expired. Any new codes?

Colleen 10-19-06 10:39 AM

Code 90210 exp. 10/22

Had to go back into my deleted mail from yesterday; I really get tired of all their coupons!

scarab007 10-25-06 05:50 PM

Happy Halloween!

44355 - 60% off expires 10/31

meanguns 11-17-06 04:08 PM

Happy Thanksgiving!

85922 - 50% off expires 11/19

PGHFlyer 05-06-07 06:30 PM

Anyone ever tested the "one redemption per restaurant per month" thing out? I am curious if that means when you use a Lunch $10, that you also can't use a Dinner $25, or just not another Lunch $10.

Also, does that one per month mean in the same calendar month or in a 30 day period?

The restaurant wouldn't be tracking this, so it would have to be on the restaurant.com end when they call the cert in (if restaurant.com does that).

Right now they have 50% off with the code "MOM" and you get a $15 GC to "De La Flowers"

Trevor 05-06-07 06:47 PM

Good bump. Anyone who has never checked this out should take a look to see if they have restaurants that you would frequent.

When they have the 70% off codes you can get $25 gift certificates for $3. 50% or more off seems to be quite constant.

The gift certificates have some limitations (one of mine is only good certain days, and you may have to have a $35 total bill to use a $25 certificate), but still a great deal if they have restaurants you like.

JP5683 05-07-07 03:05 AM

I have a $100 card I got last year when I bought my laptop at CompUSA.

For some stupid reason, I've never redeemed any of it.

There really aren't any restaurants in my area worth using it on, anyone here want the code to use it? Can I ask for say $10 or $15 for it? Is that allowed? If not, mods delete/edit this post, and I can list it on ebay.

my card expires July 1 07...

GreenEggs248 05-23-07 12:39 PM

New coupon: GRAD good for 60% off
