Christmas Gift Card Specials. Many America restaurant chains offer discounted gift cards for the Christmas Holidays. It has become an annual tradition and a great way for the chains to ensure that business remains brisk during and after the holiday season. Most of the gift card deals gives you a bonus gift card for free, when you purchase a gift card. The trick is that the bonus card is usually only valid for a a short period, and the restaurants clearly calculate with a certain percentage of customers simply forgetting to use it. Bonus cards often cannot be redeemed on the same day of purchase. Why Restaurants Love Gift Cards. For recipients, gift cards is like receiving money and duplicates are more than welcome. For the buyer, gift cards are practical, easy to send and buy. But from the restaurants point of view, the gift card is a great money maker. They bring new and old customers in the door, and encourages diners to spend more than they plan to. Once customers are thought the restaurant door with a gift card in their hands, about 50% will spend more than the card is worth, and they will spend a whopping 20 percent more, when it is a $50 gift card. So it doesn't take a math genius to figure out that offering a 10% or 5$ Bonus Card is good business for the restaurant chains. And, if diners spend just couple of dollars less than the gift card's value, they are encouraged to return for an unplanned repeat visit, in order to spend that last cash on the card. Furthermore, almost one-third of customers who receive gift cards never actually use them, according to Consumer Reports. Lastly, when customers buy gift cards as a Christmas gift, the restaurant chains are ensuring that customers will return in the traditionally quiet January and February periods. Nevertheless, the deals are very real, so if you or your family are frequent visitors at certain restaurants, then you really can save a decent amount of money.
