Here's a good deal. Hotwire Savings club:

Once you join you have 30 days to cancel before they start charging you and your credit card.

They have a bunch of discounts but the only one of interest to me is the resturant money.

There are several chains including Outback (+ Carrabbas, Bonefish Grill, Flemings, Roys).

You can buy upto $350 worth of gift certificates total and Hotwire will credit you back 20% or $70.

They ship the certificates fast. Then you must wait for the credit to appear on your credit card statement. I thought this would take more than a month (thus they get to charge you $10 for the month in the savings club) but the rebate appeared in 2 weeks (it helps to have online Credit Card account so you can see it posted immediately).

When the rebate is posted, call the savings club 800# and cancel your membership before the end of month one. Thus it cost nothing at all and you made $70. With Outback, they send you $25 certificates and at the resturants, they give you change in cash for any difference.

There are also certificates for Darien (Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze) and Bennigans and maybe others by now. The $350 cap is for all resturants combined.
