i wonder how much that company will get for selling your email address to marketing firms to recoup the losses?
...and there is the catch.

You should've scrolled down further and clicked on the link.
Just got my $400.00 worth of restaurant discounts for a mere $34.00.

Craig... I've had an account with them for over a year. Not once did I receive any SPAM from them nor from any of the affiliated restaurants.

incredible. well, i am a firm believer that if it is too good to be true than it is... but if it works for you guys, that is great. i am sorry i bashed your link if it is legit. i just want to know who is losing money on this deal and WHY? I am a hardcore capitalist and am having a hard time fathoming taking a loss.
but you know what, seeing how we're all capitalists here, I gotta be fair, bro - a penny saved is a penny earned! And that, amigo, is why we drive bimmers, while most other peeps sport Hyundais and Hondas and stuff - ability to save and capitalize yourself. That said, however, I only go to restaurants that are like mom and pop's type deals in Brooklyn (or Manhattan, for that matter), so for me this is useless... too bad though - I'd have tried it.

yeah dude, that's what I'm saying - how the hell they gonna make money? Oh, well, I guess all that 300-600% restaurant mark-ups go some way, but still this is totally not Ayn Rand but you know what, seeing how we're all capitalists here, I gotta be fair, bro - a penny saved is a penny earned!

BTW, resturant.com always has these deals. I bought $35 worth of stuff which was apparently worth $600. After I pay and print them out you can only use the certificates one at a time. And the resturants I had were mainly expensive steak houses which I wouldn't go to in the first place. My meal would still be over $100 for two people. The ones I have at least really are not worth it, they are very specific for what you can use them with.

makes sense. i thought they would be for like applebees. i could walk out of that place stuffed and full of beer for 20 bucks. if it is for expensive places, the resturant is making money because now they are getting you in the door and basically just giving you 20-25% off
