    Souplantation (my favorite restaurant for healthy eating) used to offer a free meal (dinner costs 12.49 plus tax, so it was quite a value) for every $50 gift card you bought. Now it looks like they are only offering s $10 bonus card; nonetheless, I recommend waiting to buy until the week before Christmas. That is when the double the incentive (or at least they did in years past), so a $50 gift card should get you $20 in bonus cards to use later. Not as good as a voucher for two free meals, but still not too shabby. Before the dinner vouchers had a long expiration (st least a year). Now it looks like the $10 bonus cards expire 30 April 2019, so a much shorter window of validity.



  • added some more including a early bird special for Marcus Theaters that expires soon!



  • Taco Bell has a buy $10 Gift Card, get a free Hard Shell Taco. (West Michigan - not sure about other areas)

    I plan to use mine before 3019, should be no prob 🙂
    Can’t see them giving $20 in GC with $50 purchase but hope they do. I’d pick up 4 or 5 I’d they did.

    Souplantation is offering 3 $10 rewards cards when you purchase $100 in gift cards now through Cyber Monday. I still say wait until the week before Chistmas and you can score 4 $10 rewards cards for each $100 spent.

    Well, it seems this year Souplantation is not as generous as they were in years past. Usually the week before Christmas they would double the incentive, but this year their week before Christmas offer is get 3 $10 Bonus Cards for every $100 in gift cards purchased (the same as their Black Friday weekend offer). Still a decent deal if you eat there, but not as good as years past. That seems to be the trend for many businesses these days.

    Offer available in store or online here
