HalfEmptyWallet Notes: Yes, I tried it. I sent it to a friend and checked up on how it goes.
1) Send a person via email, clicking “Give Gifts” above navigation bar.
2) Sign in or create a new account (free)
3) Send your person the email.
4) Your friend will receive an email with the code.
5) They put in the redemption code and pick a restaurant
6) They sign in or create a new account (free)
7) And wha-la, $10 credit in their account they can use.

You can send via email redemption code to one person a day. (Make an account, its free). Your friend can then use it by signing in or creating a new account (free) and then redeeming it on whatever restaurant.

Beware! Read the fine details. If you didn’t know already, restaurant.com has restrictions and guidelines to using it at every participating restaurant. Be sure to also call ahead of time to the restaurant because my restaurant wasn’t working with restaurant.com anymore and tried many times to let Restaurant.com know.

Still a great deal for those already planning to go to a certain restaurant. Restaurant.com ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS has up to 80% off which means most of those gift certificates cost $2 for the $10 deals one that usually require $20-$30 purchase dine in with exclusions. But free is always good no? =) Enjoy!

Company: Pinkberry

Catch: Must buy one pinkberry yogurt to get the 2nd one free of equal or less value WITH a coupon.
Expiration Date: 12/31/2010.

http://www.pinkberry.com/groupies.html

HalfEmptyWallet Notes: YAYAY PinkberrY!!! They usually don’t have much promotions or coupons circulating around but its the holidays! Good catch on this deal if you’re a pinkberry fan, enjoy it or just want to try it out.

Update 12/13/2010: Just found out the hard way, but the coupon doesn’t work at every location. And they’re are only a handful of corporate locations in the US. That really sucks, because I got really excited over the groupie email they sent, only to realize its a teaser and I just paid for a full-price yogurt I really craved from the email.

Update: Just found about another Pinkberry deal via Torrance, California location: Offer good for one small Pinkberry yogurt any available flavor with any available toppings for $2.00. Valid only at Torrance Location. Valid during store hours on 12/15/10. Limit (1) discount per paying customer. Non-transferable, no cash value and cannot be combined with any other offers.

Company: The Inn at Fawnskin
Promotion: 2nights, breakfast and robes for 2 ($165) near Big Bear.
Catch: Must purchase coupon first and make reservations.
Expiration Date: 12/14/10

HalfEmptyWallet Notes: REALLY great price for couples, but not great for friends that want to crash. Its an Inn not a hotel or cabin. Found this deal via www.facebook.com/SoCalSnowboarder and their reports from SnowLocal.  This place is definitely a 20min drive away from the slopes, buttttt its in a very secluded more local side of the lakes. Great scenery for couples.

HalfEmptyWallet Notes: This item is part of the 12 Days of Christmas Deals! Check them out! But so far this item was the only item that interested my wallet, maybe you fancy another item?

Updates: DOOOO NOT BUY FROM DICKIES! They CANCEL ORDERS instead of CONFIRM ORDERS! This item was part of their daily promotion but at some point sold out but kept people coming to purchase it. Booo to poor business ethics, they didn’t even backorder these items in addition they don’t have customer service. I was on the phone for 12minutes waiting and still no one picked up, gave up.
