Restaurant.com Promo Code - 60% Off Plus Free Bonus $10 Certificate

I mentioned in my last post about restaurant.com that their promo offers often get better toward the end of the month. The downside is that a few popular restaurants may have their certificates sold out. But the upside is that the savings get really dramatic. Right now there is a promo code that not only gets you 60% off their regular price (which makes a $25 dining certificate cost just $4) but they also add a bonus $10 certificate to your account.

So you're getting $35 in dining credits at restaurants for just $4. Or if you buy a $10 certificate and get the bonus, you're getting $20 value for $1.20.

The promo code is MEALS, and it's valid until June 30th.

My experience is that the bonus gift certificate is per order, so if you're planning to purchase more than one certificate, it's worth doing on separate orders to maximize your bonuses.

For those of you new to restaurant.com, you purchase a certificate that entitles you to a dining credit off your check of $25 or $10 (the $10 credit ones are typically for lunch time). These certificates come with restaurant-specific restrictions -- they can be the number of entrees ordered, the minimum check before the credit, exclude alcohol from the check or certain days of the week. But they're typically fairly reasonable to achieve and can represent a great chance to try a new restaurant or have another night at an old favorite.

If you look at the savings, let's say your check comes out to $36. You pay $11 and the balance with your restaurant.com certificate of $25 which really only cost you $4. Thus your $36 meal was yours for a total of $15. You should still tip on the full amount of the check, of course.

The extra $10 bonus certificate is another nice benefit you can use to have a nice lunch locally or when you travel. There are restaurants all over the country which participate.
