Gift Card Preference
Every Christmas we buy gift cards for DH cousins- there are 8 of them so it gets pricey I was looking into getting either Panera or Chili's gift cards- they are running a special spend $50 get $10 back.
Does anyone know of any other places offering deals like that-and do you think any place is more preferential- the cousins are younger range in age from 24-17.
Thanks!!

I don't know of any deals, and while I would not go to either of those places ( I don't eat fast food or chains) I'm sure younger people might. I would vote for Panera since they have lots of locations and if they don't like the food can get coffee or baked goods.

I have a lot of cousins and a step daughter in that age range and I can tell you they would all pick Panera. They all seem to love that place.

Re: Gift Card Preference
I would do Panera over Chilis... side note if it is too much financially, maybe you can bring up ending the gift giving to the cousins since they are all almost adults now?

Re: Gift Card Preference
I stopped buying GC to places and opened a TD bank account wth $100 just so I can get visa gift cards without the activation fee. Made life so much easier
If I had to choose - I’d go with chili’s. You can get more for your $ there

This 100%.
There comes a time where it's time to cut back.
The best thing i ever did was stop exchanging with adults.
So amazingly freeing. (and so much cheaper)

Re: Gift Card Preference
I prefer giving Visa or Amex gift cards.
This way they can be used anywhere.

This!
Or suggest pulling names out of a hat (that's what we did for my family with my cousins).
I think I'd vote for Panera - or maybe the movies? I'm assuming you are just doing a small amount since it gets costly.

Re: Gift Card Preference
Costco has deals on gift cards. For example, we buy Karvers Grille (a restaurant) gift cards there and it's $100 worth of gift cards for only $80. They have gift cards for other stores as well.
