See that blue box at the bottom right corner? That's where they break down your gift certificate options. Well, here, take a closer look:
The $10 gift certificate costs only $3. The way I run the numbers, that's 70% off. Not bad. But Restaurant.com says the "best value" is the $100 gift certificate, which costs $40. I think that comes out to right around 60% off, which... isn't that less than 70% off?
Maybe they just mean it's the best value for the people who run the web site.
While we're on the topic, if the site lists restaurants near you - the selection is OK but not great for establishments in our area - it can be kind of a handy way to save a few bucks. And they're doing some kind of holiday promotion now, so if you enter the code FROSTY at checkout, the gift certificates are even cheaper. Happy shopping.

you shouldn't give a shout-out to stupid people.
but, i'd just get a few of the $10 ones - rock on.
1) Normally I agree with that, but "math errors" equals "stuff I can blog about," so there's that...
2) I didn't want to go to that restaurant anyway. Ha.

WELCOME BACK! work?! blah. EO is MUCH more interesting than work!
aren't you becoming a bad example of how our economy is going down the toilet if you are having our already debt-ridden states foot your bill for food?!
I'm a huge fan of this site. We use it all the time for some of our regular restaurants. They're practically giving food away anyway, so I don't know if their math can be trusted. Seriously.
