How to spend $2 for a $25 restaurant gift certificate

Hi,
I have 5 kids and saving money is my name.  Okay, I am a straight to the point kind of person so lets cut to the chase.  The website that you need to go to in order to start saving money when eating out at restaurants is  restaurant.com but first you need to sign up with U-Promise.com and I'll tell you why. Usually, if you shop for the gift certificates directly at restaurant.com you will have to wait for the promotional emails to receive the $2 deals.  If you sign up with upromise.com and then go through their restaurant.com link, they mostly offer further discounts on the gift certificates plus you accrue savings in your u-promise account for going through them (usually .30 cents for me). In addition to these savings, I also use my Chase Rewards card to purchase the gift certificates, so the savings add up! The only catch is you can usually only one gift certificate per restaurant per month but that's okay because you can just visit a different restaurant. 

MyView.com Survey Site

Okay, so this is my first blog and I decided to make it about a survey site that I just started doing two months ago.  So far, I've earned my first $25 gift card and am about a fifth on the way to the next.  It's not super easy work cause sometimes the surveys are somewhat lengthy but it is nice to earn the extra money.  Tell me about your experience with this site...
