MyPoints.com / Restaurant.com combo
One of my favorite things is free stuff. My wife and I both have accounts at MyPoints.com, where you get “points” for buying stuff through their website, filling out surveys, or even just reading email they send you. Last year I used mypoints for a $50 gift card to Gap, where I bought Julie’s Christmas present. It was pretty awesome.
I today realized that through mypoints, one can get gift certificates for another website, Restaurant.com, where you can buy discounted gift certificates to local area gift certificates. The standard on there is that for $10, you get a $25 gift card to a restaurant, provided that you spend at least $35 dollars there.
That’s a pretty sweet combo.
If you sign up at mypoints.com, make sure and give them my email address as your referral. (joe [at] joedonahue.org)
