by 4 Comments

I would love to go out to eat at Olive Garden tonight with my husband for Valentine’s Day. We didn’t make any reservations and we have no baby sitter and I’m not about to wait for an hour to eat because I know that it’s going to be busy there tonight. Why?

Are you going into your Olive Garden with your loved one for a delicious three-course Italian dinner for only $12.95*? I’ll be going with my loved one very soon, perhaps with my three loved ones later this week when it’s not the day of love.

 

Today through February 19, you can enter to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip for two to Italy on the restaurant’s Facebook page. It was really easy to enter, just use the Facebook App after adding your basic information. The trip includes:

  • A seven-night getaway for two
  • Train tickets for traveling from Rome to Florence while abroad
  • Hotel accommodations and meals
    Good luck, on and in addition to the vacation package, sweepstakes participants you also have the chance to win a $25 Olive Garden gift card, the gift cards are awarded daily. 
      I received a gift card from Olive Garden to have a Valentine’s Day meal at Olive Garden with my husband, we’ll just be using it at a later date. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

    CardCash to the Gift Card Rescue Giveaway

    by 539 Comments

    Do you ever end up with a gift card that you don’t want or can’t seem to use all of it. CardCash.com, the leading secondary online marketplace offering the largest selection of discounted gift cards, gives consumers the opportunity to sell or trade their unwanted gift cards.  CardCash will pay up to 92% of the face value of the card which is really cool. I have way more gift cards than I could possible imagine using. Sometimes, getting paid in only gift cards is a pain in the butt. Customers selling their unused gift cards can get paid via PayPal, or have a check mailed to them. CardCash.com then turns around and sells these gift cards on its site at a discount.

    American Express Gift Card

    Since its inception in 2006, CardCash.com has evolved to a whole new level, transferring millions of dollars a year in gift cards from people who have no use for them, to people who are anxious to save money on all of their shopping expenses.

    “Our goal is to not only help the average customer who has unused gift cards, but also provide a service to consumers who are trying to save money on their shopping expenses,” said Elliot Klier, Chief Marketing Officer, CardCash.com.

    There are over $60 billion dollars of unused gift cards in the United States, according to a recent report in Forbes Magazine. I was surprised to read this, but my husband said if they are  anything like me then how could I be surprised. Even when I get gift cards as gifts it usually takes me forever to spend all of them, and I end up donating them to a charity. This figure does not include store-issued merchandise credit, which is equally as large. People often receive gift cards for stores they don’t shop in or they may have small residual balances leftover on their gift cards. Oh, I always have just a few dollars left on cards too. It drives me crazy!!!!

    So, I thought it would be fun to drive you crazy with a GIFT CARD giveaway. LOL, no seriously, you can…..

    Chili’s Grill and Bar Sponsor Take the Night off Giveaway

    by 791 Comments

    I feel like a big dork. I wrote to Chili’s because I love eating there. When I found out that they have a new fresh tasting menu I wanted to go try it out. I asked them to send me a gift card to use so I could write a review on my blog. They sent me one, and I packed up my whole family to head off to chili’s only to find that every Chili’s in our area had closed. I mean, the windows are all boarded up. I’m so sad, I was really looking forward to eating at Chili’s. I love Chili’s so much it would have been very difficult to sway from my favorites to try something new.

    I love their Skillet Queso and chips

    I love their Chicken Crispers and Seasoned Corn

    I love their Chicken Salad Options

    I could go on and on with what I already love there, the new items are supposed to be lighter and fresh. So I really envy all of you who still have one close by. I am so hungry after writing this post. MMMM, Chilis!

    Enter to win:

    A gift card to Chilis

    Enter daily at:

    “Shout Out to Eat Out”. This contest is centered around telling Chili’s why you don’t want to cook tonight. You have to upload a video telling Chili’s why you don’t want to cook. It doesn’t have to be long, just 10 to 30 seconds, that’s all.
