‘Gift Card Bonus’ Articles
Written by Gina

Through 12/25, you can buy a $25 Petco gift card and get a $5 eGift Card FREE! The $5 eGift Card is good from 12/26 – 1/31. Go here to buy yours! (Scroll to bottom of page and look for "gift cards".)
You can also find some coupons on their webpage here to help you spend your $5!
Reminder:
Here is a list of the gift card bonuses Juli has found so far. Please leave a comment or email me if you find more.
Think about giving them as gifts, of course. But, don't forget yourself! If you are going to spend money at one of these places anyway, why not get a little bonus?
Remember that bonus cards usually have expiration dates and sometimes you're limited on how many you can use at one time. Most will not allow you to use the bonus right away, a few will. I'll list the dates when they are available, but please double check, before you make your purchase.
These have all been verified by websites, calling, or emails that I've received from a company. However, some might only be "participating locations," so it's always best to call your location before making a special trip. I have given links with details, but some are only for purchases at the location.

We posted about this Panda Express gift card deal last week . . .
Get $5 off a $30 Panda Express Gift Card!
This is a Cyber Monday deal and is only good online between Monday 12 pm PST and Tuesday 12 pm PST.
Go here to get started and use code: 5EM1121
Since then, I have eaten there and discovered a better deal — at least to me, but there is a catch. If you purchase a $25 gift card in the restaurant, you will receive a coupon for a free 2-entree item, on a FUTURE purchase. You can buy the gift card and use it right away, but you won't be able to use the coupon until the following day, up through January 1st. It's also on their Facebook page, but I'm not sure how long it lasts.
If you call in the survey answers, you will also receive a code for one free entree. I'm not sure if they'll let you use them together, but if you go with someone, you can also have them use one and you use the other. That's our plan!
I can't guarantee this deal is available everywhere, so call your location, if you're making a special trip. It didn't have an ending date (though the manager thought it went through the end of the month).

This isn't quite as good as some bonus deals since you have to spend $50, but if you're spending that anyway, it's still a free five bucks!
Black Angus will give you a $5 bonus card when you purchase a $50 gift card. The $5 card is good between 1/1/13 and 2/13/13.
You can get it in the restaurant or order it online, with free shipping, through 12/31/12.

I love taking advantage of bonus gift card deals. There are so many during the holiday season. I'm not talking about buying gifts for others, though that works also. I buy them for myself. :)
This the first one I have taken advantage of . . .
Boston Market will give you a $5 bonus card when you purchase a $25 gift card. The $5 card will expire on 1/31/13.
We eat there often and it's like free money to me. The wonderful thing about gift cards is that they are almost always seen the same as a cash payment. So, you can use coupons with them!
More will be popping up soon and we'll be posting them. Please leave a comment below, email me, or leave a message on Facebook if you know of others. There will be a bunch of them.
Soon, we'll create a master list and have it handy for you. It's a great way to get a little bonus for yourself or an added value that you can give away.
