Two Best Gift Card Deals Around
12.15.16
As we get closer to Christmas, the sales of gift cards soar as they become a best bet for last minute presents. For years restaurants have offered incentives to the buyer but many are restrictive. By far, the two best we've seen in OC this season are offered by Vaca and TAPS. Here's the details:
VACA
Receive an extra gift card loaded with 25 percent of your initial gift card purchase of $100 or more at OC's hottest restaurant by "Top Chef" finalist Amar Santana. This can be loaded onto the same card or a separate one for you! No restrictions--it is a gift card. Good for food and bar, and Vaca is just introducing a new menu with some great cocktails and tapas you will want to try! Offer ends December 31, 2016. vaca.mybigcommerce.com/gcard/
South Coast Plaza, 695 Town Center Dr, Costa Mesa 714.463.6060
TAPS Fish House & Brewery
For every $100 in gift cards purchased through December 31, 2016, you’ll receive a certificate for a complimentary Sunday Brunch—a $38.99 value. TAPS lavish Las Vegas-style brunch includes seafood on ice, a carving station, charcuterie and gourmet cheeses, a variety of TAPS signature dishes, and a separate short order menu of mini breakfast entrees and desserts that are made to order in the kitchen. Then back to a decadent desert bar with chocolate fountain and more. Two TAPS award-winning beers or free flowing champagne or mimosas are included.
