Restaurant.com Promo Code 80% Off Until December 25th

Still looking for a Christmas gift (and maybe the snowstorm kept you from shopping over the weekend)? Or maybe you want to lock in some restaurant savings for yourself to use over the coming weeks. Right now, restaurant.com's current promo code is at what's typically its deepest level, 80% off. The code is SANTA and it's valid through December 25th.

That means that a $25.00 dining certificate, most of which are normally $10.00, is just $2.00. Imagine that: $25.00 of dining value for just $2.00! Of course there are conditions for the certificates, generally a minimum check order, frequently $35.00 (each restaurant sets its own conditions). But even with that, if you have a $35.00 check, you would use the certificate and only owe $10.00. Tax and tip are additional, but effectively, you only have paid $12.00 for that $35.00 meal.

Lunchtime certificates are available at many restaurants with $10.00 of dining credit. Those usually cost $4.00 so now with the promo code they come down to 80¢.

One of the best deals, though, when the code is as steep as 80% is the Dinner-of-the-Month Club. You can sign up for 3, 6 or 12 months and get a $25.00 dining certificate each month. And the 80% code knocks those down to a great value. But there are three more reasons Dinner-of-the-Month may be your best buy (and a great gift idea): first, there's a bonus certificate added free -- if you sign up for 3 months, it's a bonus $10 certificate. For 6 months, the bonus is a $25 certificate (meaning you get 7 of them in total for the discounted price of 6). And for 12 months, the bonus is a free $50 dining certificate credit (you can use it for one $50 certificate, two $25s or five $10s).

The second reason Dinner-of-the-Month is such a good deal with this promo code is that you are getting end-of-the-month savings but you can activate your Club and certificates at the start of a month when popular restaurants' certificates are back in stock (some popular spots sell out quickly at the start of a month).

The third reason is that if you have a spot that normally charges $15.00 for a certificate (which would be $3.00 with the discount now), you can still get that restaurant's certificate with your Dinner-of-the-Month plan, meaning you will have paid the lower price for a more expensive spot.

Well, that's the skinny. To check out Restaurant.com and order items for yourself, for the kids away at college, for friends and family around the country, click the link below. Remember to use the promo code SANTA at checkout, and hit the apply button there to see the savings reflected in your cart.
