Get $5 for $25 gift card at Chili's

[davechri]

For each $25 of gift card that you buy at Chili's, you get a $5 bonus card.

So if you buy $100 on a gift card, you get $20 bonus. (Just showing off - I'm a math genious).

20% off food isn't too shabby, especially if you would be eating there anyway.

(and if you go to the Chili's website, you can download a song by the Old 97s, an excellent underappreciated band)

A number of restaurants seem to be doing that this year. Moe's does it too, and Caribou Coffee was running a similar promotion. I think a few other places as well.

TGIFriday's were also offering this. I just want to know if you can buy a GC with a GC....if you can do that, you only need to buy 1 $25. :evil:

Scarpozzi, I am sure this is a loophole that they looked into, or else it would quickly run into thousands of dollars in losses.

doesnt seem like youre a spelling genius either.

oh by the way, math genius, it isnt a 20% discount either.

5/30 = 16.6666666667%.

hrm...maybe not.

It's actually a free $5 BONUS card... all kinds of limitations on it's use. I got one when I was in a Macaroni Grill a couple weeks ago, under the impression I'd be saving money by buying giftcards to pay for my meal. (apparently Macaroni Grill and Chili's are owned by the same company... )
The card has to be used between 1/1/2007 and 2/28/2007, you can only use 1 per visit, can't use it on giftcard purchase, etc.. don't remember anything else off the top of my head.
Still a good deal if you are going to be eating there anyways... but, not a GREAT deal.

That was intentional.

Chili's=The Devil...

If there is nothing more that I hate is a company that doesn't do for their employee's what they do for them. Interestingly enough though, this isn't that bad of a promotion.

Facts:
1.$25 dollar gift card purchase get's you a $5 coupon good from 1/1-2/28
2.Has no cash value, but is a str8 $5 off your meal
3.Can not be used for gift card purchases
4.Just because you are using a gift card, doesn't mean your server's "tip out" is less, please tip on the original amount, not your modified amount after gift card use.
5.Gift cards and "Bounce Back" are redeemable at all Brinker establishments - Chili's, Maggiano's, Macorroni's, and On The Border.
6.All Brinker establishments are running the same promotion, so no need to go to Chili's for this promotion if you only like On The Border

On a side note, understand in 43/50 states server's make 2.13 an hour, at Chili's it is required that servers give at least 2.25% of their sales as a "tip out" to the busser/bartender. When you tip 10% your server will be lucky to see 7% of that. The standard is 15% for lunch and 18%-20% for dinner. Chili's no longer uses gratuity as a means to get more money from a guest, due to the fact that most people who "grat" do it on a subjective basis, and therefor Chili's chose to discontinue it to avoid lawsuits of stereotyping/discrimination.

Again, if you are going to get in on this "deal" please remember to tip your server well.
