Doesn’t a dinner out sound delightful? After all, there aren’t any dishes to wash and you can sample tasty treats that are frankly too time consuming to make on a typical weeknight. Pick up a gift certificate from Restaurant.com to a variety of dining establishments, and save big with coupon code “DINE“, which makes most $25 gift certificates just $5. Hurry, though, because this coupon expires 01/23/2013.

Now, here’s the MoneyMaker scenario. Sign up for either Ebates, or Extrabux and get a $10 or $5 signup bonus, plus $1 back on your $5 purchase. No brainer right?!

Never was great at math, but here is how it works out:

$-5 ($25 restuarant.com gift card)
$+5 (Extrabux sign-up bonus)
$+1 (Extrabux 20% back on the $5 purchase)
= Netprofit of $1 plus the $25 gift card!

OR
$-5 ($25 restuarant.com gift card)
$+10 (Ebates sign-up bonus)
+75 cents (Ebates 15% back on the $5 purchase)
= Netprofit of $5.75 plus the $25 gift card!
