UPDATE: My husband and I tried to go back to TGI Fridays and use our $20 gift cards on two more entrees from the new menu to get another $20 gift card. It doesn't work! The gift cards are actually "value cards," similar to coupons, and they have the fine print on the back (which I never glanced at - oops!). You can't use them with other coupons and only one per check.
Although it's not the amazing freebie I thought it was going to be, it still was pretty dang good!
We both ate lunch for $9 (and because the nice server split our bill, we got another $10 value card).
Okay, so my husband had to help me with this one. I was so caught up on the Buy one Get one FREE coupon, that I couldn't quite grasp this concept until we tried it.
TGI Friday's is having a great promotion right now. If you order from their new menu until September this year, you get a $10 gift card. We got $20 in gift cards for purchasing TWO items from the menu.
My husband got the new cheeseburger that was around $9 and I got the Japanese Hibachi Steak Skewers (yum - I can also confirm that the flat iron steak is amazing!) for around $11. We also got FREE chips and salsa for being members of the Stripes program (plus we get more freebies, coupons, and earn free meals). Our bill was around $21 with tax and we got $20 in gift cards! Unbelievable!
For $1 and the tip (please generously tip like the server is your grandaughter, don't give couponers a bad name!), we got a GREAT meal! Next time we are going to order from the same menu, use our gift cards to buy dinner, then get $20 in gift cards again!
So, with the initial investment of $21, we are going to eat all summer at TGI Friday's for (basically) free!
