Restaurant.com Promo Code at 80% Off -- $25 Certificates as Low as $2; Great Time for Dinner-of-the-Month Club

I've posted a number of times about Restaurant.com so most readers know how it works. Right now they have a promo code good through January 19th that has what's generally their largest discount of the month, 80%. So if a $25.00 dining certificate goes for $10,00 normally, right now it's $2.00 with the promo code.

But as I've suggested for people who like Restaurant.com certificates, the 80% time is a great time to do their Dinner-of-the-Month club. Not only do you get 80% off certificates but you get a bonus certificate for even greater total value. Also, you can use your certificates at the beginning of the following month when the inventory of the most popular restaurants get restocked. And third, even though you have paid the equivalent of just $2.00 for a certificate, you can trade in the certificate for any $25.00 restaurant certificate, even if their regular price was higher than $10.00.

The code to use now is INDULGE at checkout, and hit the 'apply' button to see the savings in your cart. Click 80% off Restaurant.com with code INDULGE through January 19th.

Restaurant.com Promo Code -- 50% Off Orders Plus Bonus $10 Certificate with Each Order

Restaurant.com is starting off the year with a nice little promo code you can use to get some good savings at restaurants in your area of while you're traveling. It's early in the month, so most restaurants should have certificates in stock (as regular readers know, discounts get better later in the month when more popular places have sold out their quota).

Right now through Jnaury 12th, the promo code gets you half off their regular already-discounted certificates, and with each order you get a bonus $10.00 dining certificate.

The code is CHOW.

When they have a bonus code like this, if I plan on buying more than one certificate I do it in separate orders to get a bonus with each one.

So right now you can buy a $25.00 certificate (most of them still cost just $10.00 regularly) for $5.00 and get the $10.00 bonus certificate added in. That's $35.00 of dining credit for $5.00.

Or if you're ordering a $10.00 certificate (generally aimed at lunch times) that usually is $4.00, you end up with two certificates now for a total of $2.00. Not too shabby.

Remember to enter and apply the promo code during checkout. To go to restaurant.com, click 50% off Restaurant.com orders and free $10 Gift Certificate with purchase. Use code CHOW through 01/12/10.

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 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.
