With exceptions for special promotions, you’ve probably noticed a trend with Restaurant.com…the gift certificate discounts start out each month near 50% off the purchase price, and the discount generally increases toward the end of each month. The reason? Gift certificates are in limited supply through Restaurant.com, and the supply of the most popular establishments is quickly depleted at the beginning of the month. As we reach the end of the month, the less common restaurants still have gift certificates remaining, and Restaurant.com works to move them out for new inventory the following month.

If your favorite restaurants have already sold out of gift certificates through Restaurant.com, either try a new restaurant, or wait until the first week of the month for a new supply of your favorites. While the discounts at the beginning of the month aren’t as substantial, it’s still better than paying full price! If you’re interested in trying something new, all gift certificates are available at a 60% discount through Sunday, August 31st. Purchase $25 gift certificates for $4!

Click HERE, select your gift certificates, enter LABOR at the checkout, then recalculate the total to see your 60% savings. (The restaurant choices, terms, and available certificates, vary by geographic location, so be sure to check the restaurant selections in your vacation destinations, as well as your local areas!)
