Gift certificates, who doesn't love them? Especially when they're free! The ones you'll find here aren't always free, but a few of them are. The ones that do cost, still offer significant discounts.
Restaurant.com
has some really excellent deals. Lately, once per month they will run a special where you get 80% any purchase! That means if you buy one of their $25 gift cards which normally cost $10, it will only cost you $2!
Initially I was a bit skeptical of this, but I figured, "What the heck it's only $2." So I bought 3 gift certificates to some restaurants here in Atlanta we had never been to. We've used one already and although some places have minimums, we still got a $63 meal, tip included, for only $38.
Just be sure to read the restaurant's requirements before you buy.
You can also get a free $25 gift card if you sign up for any of the TrialPay offers through their site. So be sure to take advantage of any TrialPay offers you see on the net. You can get free personal care and beauty products here using TrialPay offers for things you use everyday. So if you buy a starbucks gift card you can get a free dinner as well. Or a Starbucks gift card and free face cleanser from Nu Skin.
**UPDATE!!**
I have just found the mecca of gift cards and certificates: You can get just about any gift card you want at a discount here; and because gift cards are like cash, you can combine them with coupons for even more savings!
