As national restaurant chains ramp up for the busy 2018 holiday season, many are offering attractive bonuses when you purchase a gift card from them.

For simplicity purposes, I’m including “coupons” and “digital” bonuses as part of a broader “Gift Card” reference. I would also suggest checking with individual restaurants for details such as limitations, restrictions, expiry dates, usage dates, etc.
