The holiday gift guide series continues this week with gift card deals!

It’s time for the annual list of the best deals on restaurant and retail gift cards. Buy cards to give as gifts or to lock in a discount on your favorite chain restaurants.

Use credit cards offering cash back on restaurants to increase your savings. And if you use your gift cards yourself, make sure to pair them with coupons for even MORE of a discount on your favorite meals!

Use your bonus cards as an extra inexpensive gift for someone on your list, a coworker or teacher, a Secret Santa gift or a special treat for yourself! Make sure to check the fine print on each offer – some restaurants limit the number of bonuses you can earn, and most bonus gift cards can be used for a limited time.

  1. I’m not a big fan of gift cards – but I do like iTune’s because I can get books to listen to on trips. Pretty awesome!

  2. Thanks for sharing these deals. You can also buy discount at places like Costco where they have both local and national deals. For example, my Costco has an $100 gift card to one of our local restaurants for $69.99. I am planning to buy one and use it myself! You can’t beat the savings!

    • Wow, that is a great deal! I will have to check ours – I usually only see chain discounts, like $75 of Outback giftcards for $65 or something like that. But your deal is an excellent one.
