I must be blind... for some reason I can not find it on their website

[napleswifey]

Another one I don't see on the list is Tijuana Flats. You get a $5 gc when you buy a $25 one.

[Twin mommy2007]

I got my free calendar at chick fil a today. Bought a $20 GC.

[carriemb2]

Thanks, great list

[Jseedeals4me]

Thanks OP! I just got a CVS one for myself - figured I'm probably going to use it anyhow (it's like the $5/$25 emailed coupons we get in from them)...

@OP and jctngirl - I went to TGI Fridays via the link and it doesn't say you get a $5 bonus, any idea or maybe that promo shows up at checkout?? Anyone tried to get that one??

[1AK]

Ok, cry for help here - if you purchase the $25 CVS GC online, you get a $5 CVS GC that can ONLY be used at CVS ONLINE ? Or can it be used in CVS stores ? TYIA

It is a printable and can be used in the store. I purchased a couple of these in the past. I was the first to use in the store, but they got used to it.

[1AK]

Thanks, Crosscountrysoccermom! You even answered the question I forgot to ask which was if you could use more than one!

[One800mom]

Many restaurants owned by Lettuce Entertain You offer a $25 bonus GC when you purchase $100 in gift cards.

Restaurant Reservations & Local Dining Information | Lettuce Entertain You

A few that are included are Big Bowl, Mity Nice Grill, Wildfire, and Tucci Benucch.

[mamacitaperez]

thank you thank you thank you I was looking for this .I remember last years list

[funnybottoms]

Can anyone verify that the TGI Fridays and Buffalo Wild Wings buy $25 Get $5 don't have any restrictions? Like not being able to use them both at the same time. I was thinking of getting a $30 restaurant gift card for a white elephant gift so hopefully this way I only have to spend $25 to give $30. I haven't heard of there being any restrictions like that but want to be sure since it will be a gift.

[missmyrah]

Thank you for the list. Very helpful! I know Safeway had a promotion going on, not sure if it's expired, but it was buy $150 in giftcard, and get a certain amount back. I'll double-check with Safeway when I go in and report back.

[1AK]

Found out the hard way that the CVS e-gift card promo with the $5 bonus ended in November. Please update list. Thanks.
