Every now and then I get e-mail about the website advertised at the top left of my blog, Memphis Discount Dining, where you can buy $25 gift certificates to popular restaurants for $10. People write and ask me, “Is this legit? It sounds too good to be true. Do you personally know the people running the site?”
Yes I do, and I can promise you it’s legit. Here’s how I know: IT’S MY SITE. I was purposely vague about this in the beginning, but I own that website, as well as a sister site, Little Rock Discount Dining. It’s an affiliate partner program through a national company, Restaurant.com, that handles the gift certificate programs. Every time someone orders those certificates through my site (or through any link on my blog), I make a commission. And believe me, if I thought for even a second that this program was not legit, I wouldn’t list it – I’ve built up too much trust with my readers to just throw it away in order to make a few bucks.
Readers have ordered the gift certificates and have told me they successfully used them. As always, if you have any doubt, call the restaurants and ask if they take Restaurant.com gift certificates. I only want you to order them if you feel totally comfortable.
They’ve added some great new restaurants this month. Unfortunately they have not yet provided me with product links to add to Memphis Discount Dining, but you can get to the new restaurants by going to Restaurant.com and searching on your zip code. New restaurants include
- THE MAJESTIC GRILLE!!!!!!!!!!
- Cayenne Moon
- The Green Beetle
- Conte’s Italian Restaurant on Madison
- Equestria
- The Pig locations in Millington and Southaven
- Southern Crow Grill
- My Favorite Place (Germantown)
- Old Venice Pizza Company
In addition, through Easter Day, if you use the coupon code HOP at checkout, you get 40% off. So that means you can pick up $25 gift certificates for $6.
Hmmm… I may have to buy a couple of these for myself, since Patrick from the Majestic says he wants to cook me a steak. These would also make great gifts to go in Easter baskets.
So anyway, yes MDD is legit, and if you have any questions you can e-mail me.
Enjoying my day off so far… this morning I washed the dishes. To give you an idea how often dishes get done at my place, my Sam Adams “buy the beer, keep the glass” glass from last July 4 was still in the sink. Now I’m sitting at the Second Street branch office laptopping and having a beer. Not sure what I’ll do tonight.
Still looking for a few people to head to Cordova with me tomorrow for the Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament. Free food and beer. Tournament starts at 2, so I’ll be heading that way about 1:15.
Happy Good Friday, and since I have the day off it IS a good Friday.
