Tanya L. says
I love these offers BUT I wish (most) of them didn’t make you use them in January! You’re already trying to lose the holiday weight gain and then you’re forced to use up all your bonus cards in January. By the end of the month, you weight 1,000 lbs, lol.
BTW, James Coney Island has one going now also, but the bonus bucks are good until March!
Lori says
Tanya makes a good point! I like them because you don’t feel so guilty spending (less) money on dinner out during January, as well as getting me out of cooking a couple of nights in January. All that Christmas shopping and wrapping and decorating and visiting is exhausting! 🙂

Leah says
I posted this on the other blog, but if anyone can answer my question I would greatly appreicate it. Can you use the $10/$50 coupon if you buy a $50 gift card? I have to buy 3 and would love to get $30 back in gift cards for myself!! Help!!
