So Applebees is trying to sell more gift cards this holiday season by running a promotion. At first glance, it looks like you can get a FREE mystery value gift card ($5 – $25) when you buy Applesbees gift cards.
However a closer look at the fine print reveals that no purchase is necessary, which is good because they would be in big trouble if they were running a sweepstakes that required a purchase.
The fine print does state that while you will indeed receive your mystery value gift card when making another gift card purchase at Applebees restaurants or online, you can also request a gift card without making a purchase:
To request a free Bonus Card without making a purchase, hand print your name, complete address, and email address (required) on a postcard, and mail to: Applebee’s Mystery Value Bonus Card Request, P.O. Box 1579, Palatine, IL 60078-1579. Requests must be postmarked between October 26, 2015 and January 4, 2016 and received by January 11, 2016. You will receive your Bonus Card via return email within thirty (30) days of receipt of your request.”
So what are you waiting for? Mail your postcard today!
See you at Applebees!
P.S. This would also make a great addition to a teacher gift basket.
Thanks Hey It’s Free!
