2019 Gift Card Bonus Offers – Restaurants and Retail

UPDATE: See our big list of 2020 Gift Card Bonus Offers HERE!

One of my favorite deals during the holiday season is Gift Card Bonus Offers! Many restaurants and stores offer a bonus when you buy a gift card. i.e. Buy a $25 gift card and get a $5 reward card for yourself for free.

So it’s a great time to not only buy gift cards for gifts, but also to buy them for places you visit often already. It’s like free money!

Just keep in mind that many of the bonus cards are only valid through January or March, so don’t forget to use them. Thanks to Mission to Save for all the updates!

Also, keep in mind that you can buy gift cards from many restaurants via Amazon! While you won't get a bonus, it's an easy way to order a card for someone's favorite restaurant without having to make a trip there to pick it up.

Here is a list of all the 2019 Gift Card Bonus Offers we could find. If you know of any additional offers, please let us know in a comment below. Happy shopping!
