2016 Gift Card Bonus Deal Round Up

It's that time of the year again where a lot of restaurant chains look to entice you to an extra bonus or freebie when you buy a gift card to meet your holiday gift-giving needs.

Please note that a lot of the bonus cards are more like bonus coupons and are not quite like gift cards. They typically have no cash value and an expiration date. You should check with the respective restaurants for details if you have any questions. I've listed the expiration dates where I could find them.

Some are online only, while others are at participating locations only so be sure to ask.

Here's a running list of gift card bonuses/freebies available for the 2016 holiday season (I'll update if more come in):
