Was at a charity golf event today and they were doing a fundraiser selling these discount cards that cost $29/month. The card came with multiple discounts, % off movies theaters, dinning, shopping, airline tix, etc. which is cool. It reminded me of the old "entertainment books" but what got me is they give you a $50 restaurant.com certificate every month. For me that was no brainer, $29 for $50 certificate + the other perks and discounts. But how is restaurant.com? any good or bad experiences using them?
Hope it works out better for you, than some of these people http://www.viewpoints.com/Restaurant-com--133714-reviews
I was going to do this myself ... wife comes to me and tells me she received a Great offer. Did a search on the Net and found more than a few bad reviews

Thanks for that link BAS, the reviews were interesting. Some really good and some really bad. Which is what I have been reading so far on a few sites. Some love it and some dislike it. I did see on the restaurant.com site the min purchase required for using their certificates... doesnt seem outrageous. Ihop was $5 certificate but must spend $7... Im excited to try it
You have to take it to the minimum, often $35 qualifies to get $25 off,
you spend maybe $5 on the certificate....or less
get the meal around $35
tip about $7
-5 Certificate
-35 Meal for 2
-7 20% tip on $35
+25 certificate
Can get you out for like $22 for a nice dinner and a good tip....you have to structure it that way and keep it to the minimum requirements. I used to do this often with my first wife....now I won't even ride in the same car with the BITCH !

still not the EX, working on that,
at Malones they count alcohol towards the $35 requirement, so I usually got a $5 beer, and and a Sandwich for maybe $12,
wife got like a salad for $12 and clam chowder for $5....close enough to make the minimum.
Bill would be like just under $20 , maybe $18, plus I paid usually $3-4 for the certificate..
not something to pull out on a date, but who cares with a wife !

LOL thanks Doug, yea it sounds like a win win deal here, just kind of feel like I am cheating someone or I am missing some fine print... If things go sour or I was mislead I will definitely post about BAS. Charity events usually have amazing travel deal so I didnt think twice about this one. Little risk involved with only $29
