Maximizing Your Savings
Here are some tips to save as much money as possible while dinning out:
- Have the waiter/waitress swipe your credit card with $25 each time until you hit your total bill – remember, tip and tax will count towards the $25 minimum
- Purchase multiple $25 gift cards at the restaurant to use at a future time – just make sure that you are purchasing the gift card directly from the restaurant and not a third-party
- You do not actually need to order from the restaurant week menu to trigger the $5 statement credit
