2018 Restaurant Holiday Gift Card Bonuses, Specials, and Deals

With the 2018 holiday season in full swing, many-a-restaurant is offering an extra bonus, deal, or freebie when you buy a gift card from them. I've complied a list of the bonuses for your reference.

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