TGI Friday's gift card perks

Get a $5 Bonus Bites card from TGI Friday's when you buy a $25 git card by Dec. 31.

The Bonus Bites cards are good between Jan. 1, 2010 and Feb. 28, 2010 so you'll have to return later to use it, which is kind of annoying.

Every time you buy a gift card you are automatically eligible to win a cash prize of $1,000 or a free appetizer or dessert. Fill out a quick form with the gift card info at www.fridays.com/giftcardgiveaway to play. If you win a free menu item, print the coupon and bring it into the restaurant to redeem it.
