You generally want to do that before you buy. Terms depend on the restaurant chosen
Seems to me like most $25 certificates have a $35 minimum purchase. 18% gratuity is usually added automatically. Some also have other restrictions like "Only good after 6 p.m." or " Combo platters not included"
the higher priced certificates have usually seem to have a minimum purhcase of double the cert amoung. Example, $50 cert would require $100 minimum purchase, $150 cert would require a $300 minimum puchase. So, hope you are very hungry or bring several people with you.
There is also a "once per month" clause as in one cert per month at the same restaurant.
Getting people together to meet a minimum won't be a problem...finding the right place will be though.
Either way, $48 is basically nothing when it comes to eating out...and to save $150 (if done correctly) for $12 is something that will be worth the work.
(if I ever receive them)
