It's the best time of the year if you're looking for a great deal on restaurant gift cards. Spend $100, get $20. Spend $100, get $25. Spend $25, get $5. It's the perfect way to say "thank you" to coworkers, or your babysitter, or a great gift for family and friends.
I've compiled a list of the currently active best restaurant gift card deals for Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the suburbs. Because deals keep getting announced, bookmark this page, and I'll keep updating it throughout the 2017 holiday season. Most of these gift card deals can be redeemed at the online link, but some are in-store only.
If you know of other deals that should be on the list, send me an email.
