Restaurant.com Promo Code - 80% Off All Orders Plus Bonus $10 Certificate Through the End of the Year

Well, restaurant.com is bringing 2009 to a close with a steep promo code that also comes with a bonus per order. If you use promo code CHEER now through the 31st, you get 80% off AND a bonus $10 dining certificate per order.

Note that I say per order -- so if you want to buy several certificates at this promo discount, you can do them as separate orders and get a bonus for each one.

That means every certificate you buy brings even more value. If you are buying a $10.00 certificate (usual price of $4.00) it's you're now for 80¢, and a second one comes along free. That's a total of $20.00 of dining credit for less than a buck (96% off!).

If you buy a $25.00 certificate (most of those cost $10.00 but some are a bit higher), you can get it for as low as $2.00 now and get the free $10.00 certificate added, meaning a total of $35.00 of dining credit for as little as $2.00 (94% off).

And one of my favorites when the promo is this good is the Dinner of the Month Club. (You get a $25.00 certificate for any participating restuarant once a month for the term you choose, plus a bonus sign-up certificate, and then this bonus $10.00 certificate on top of it!

So a three-month club (three $25.00 certificates, a $10.00 extra bonus certificate and then this promotional added $10.00 certificate for a total of $95.00 dining credit) comes down to $6.00 from the usual $30.00. $6.00 for $95.00 worth of restaurant credit is 93% off!

A six-month plan (seven $25.00 certificates including the sign-up bonus, plus the $10.00 promo code bonus) is just $12.00 now, getting you $185.00 of dining. A 93% savings!

An annual plan gets you twelve $25.00 certificates, a free $50.00 certificate and this bonus $10.00 once, adding up to $360.00 of food credit for $24.00 with the promo code. That saves you 93% for the year.

The Dinner of the Month is a great deal now because you can get the discount but redeem the certificates at the start of a month when new inventory is in stock at the most popular hot spots!

Each restaurant's certificates come with whatever restrictions (days of week, minimum check before certificate accepted etc.).

This is one of my favorite deals and the one for which I hear great feedback, so take advantage before the year is out. It's also great for family members away at school or anyone else that would make a great gift recipient.

Click 80% Off at Restaurant.com plus bonus $10 certificate with each order. Use code CHEER thru 12/31/09.

Restaurant.com has just issued their latest promotional code, with what's generally their biggest discount during the month, 80%. Regular readers of my blog know all about Restaurant.com, and the fact that when it's 80% that's the best time to order a Dinner-of-the-Month Club set-up.

The promo code is ENTREE and it's valid through November 12th.

If you're not yet a user of Restaurant.com, you can get certificates for dining valued at $25.00 or $10.00 at thousands of restaurants across the country. The regular prices for these are usually about $10.00 and $4.00 respectively (though some restaurants have raised the price for a $25.00 certificate to $15.00), and with the discount code those prices drop to $2.00 and 80¢. The certificates come with restaurant-specific restrictions, often a minimum of $35.00 check for dinner or $20.00 check for lunch. Generally the restrictions are easy to reach when going out to dine.

The Dinner-of-the-Month Club adds even more value -- in addition to getting a certificate each month (you can choose 3, 6 or 12 months) you get a bonus certificate depending on the length you pick. There's also a hidden bonus -- if one of the restaurants in which you're interested has raised their certificate price to $15.00, you can still get that one as your choice for no surcharge.

With the current promo code, a 3-month plan is just $6.00, 6-months is $12.00 and a year is $24.00. A year gets you $350.00 worth of certificates for that $24.00 investment. That's a lot of dining value.

Restaurant.com Promo Code - 80% Off All Orders Through October 12th

Usually the deepest promo codes from Restaurant.com come at the end of a month, when a bunch of restaurants have sold out their quota. But right now Restaurant.com has already jumped up to the 80% level for four days, now through October 12th.

That means a $25.00 certificate that usually goes for $10.00 is now just $2.00, and a $10.00 certificate (usually for lunchtime) that normally is $4.00 is available now for 80¢.

Dinner-of-the-Month Club sign-ups are also available under this code. With a three-month plan (three $25.00 certificates plus a bonus one for $10.00) you pay just $6.00 instead of $30.00. A six-month plan comes down to $12.00 (you receive a total of seven certificates during the six months), and a twelve month plan comes down to $24.00 with the promo code -- with the annual plan, you get $350.00 worth of certificates, twelve for $25.00 and one for $50.00.

These can also make great gifts, and also be a nice help to that kid away at college.

The promo code to enter at checkout is FOUR. Remember to hit the apply button so you see the savings in your cart.

If you're new to Restaurant.com, the certificate you buy there entitle you to a discount at a participating restaurant -- there are thousands across the country. Each restaurant can put their own conditions; the most typical is a minimum check of $35.00 to use the $25.00 certificate (other conditions might be on the number of diners, days of the week etc.).

To demonstrate the savings, if you bought a $25.00 certificate now for $2.00 and used it at the restaurant on a $35.00 check, your net cost for the meal would be $12.00 ($2.00 + $10.00 that you'd need to pay there), plus tax and tip. When I use these, I always make sure to tip the server on the pre-discount total of the check since that's the service they provided.

Restaurant.com 90% Promo Code Extended to Midnight (Eastern Time) September 13th

A couple of days ago I posted about Restaurant.com's promo code for 90%, which was valid until 3:01 a.m. Pacific Time on September 13th. I've received an update that they have extended the code another 18 hours and it now expires at 9:09 Pacific Time (just past midnight) tomorrow night September 13th. That gives people some added time to take advantage.

This truly is the lowest price I've ever seen with their promo codes and it makes buying their certificates a whopping bargain. I've bought another Dinner-of-the-Month club at this rate and maybe even will do another. For a twelve month plan you pay barely more than the regular cost of one certificate.

My earlier post is near the top of the Hot Deals listing, and if you already know all the details and just want to shop, here below is the link again.
