2017 Holiday Gift Card Bonuses

With the 2017 holiday season ramping up, many-a-restaurant is offering an extra bonus when you buy a gift card from them. For your reference, I've put together a list of what's available.

Please note that a lot of the bonus cards are more appropriately described as "bonus coupons" and are not gift cards. They typically have no cash value and include 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 restaurant gift card bonuses/freebies available for the 2017 holiday season (I'll update if more come in):
