Once again, gift cards are at the top of many people’s holiday wish list and we have a long list of gift card bonus offers for 2020. According to the National Retail Federation, six in 10 consumers have gift cards on their shopping list. It’s estimated retailers will sell more than $30 billion in gift cards, this holiday season.
There’s something about being able to splurge on exactly what you want that’s fun, right? In the past, gift cards seemed impersonal. Not anymore. Recipients can pick out exactly what they want or enjoy their favorite meal. No need to return anything. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Gift cards are always an efficient and convenient way to shop for the holidays. Best of all, it pays to give gift cards because of the bonus offers, this time of year. Treat yourself and keep the bonus offer or tuck it in with the gift card for an added surprise.
Most of the gift cards must be purchased by December 31, in order to receive the bonus. However, some bonus offers end earlier, so check first.
It’s important to note that most of the offers are for “bonus cards” — not gift cards. As a result, review the fine print for limitations, including any minimum purchase requirements, date restrictions and/or menu exclusions.
Most bonus cards are not valid until January 1, 2021.
Bonus offers and redemption are valid at participating locations only.
We’ll keep updating, so be sure to check this list often for the latest offers.
MHOTC Tips:
Who says gift cards have to be gifts? If your favorite restaurant or business is offering a gift card bonus, “pre-pay” for goods and services now and “gift” yourself the bonus. It’s one of the easiest ways to stretch dollars you were going to spend anyway.
You can also get more bonuses by breaking down a large, single purchase. For example, if the bonus is for a $25 minimum gift card purchase and you’re buying a $50 gift card, why not purchase two $25 gift cards in separate transactions instead?
You just doubled your bonus! However, many businesses give you a bonus for every gift card purchased at a specified amount. As a result, there’s no need for multiple transactions.
Some bonus offers are available online or in-store only — while others are available both online and in-store.
However, check first, especially if you’re ordering gift cards online. Once you hit “buy”, you may be out of luck.
As always, clarify any details first before purchasing, especially because gift cards are typically non-refundable.
Look out for double bonus offers on Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday. It’s one of the best times to purchase gift cards because the bonus may be at its best.
