$195 of Ruby Tuesday Gift Cards for $100 with Amex and Holiday Promo

The Offer

Amex is currently running an offer for in-store Ruby Tuesday purchases. Ruby Tuesday is also offering a Holiday gift card promo. The two combined can make for a really great deal.

  • Spend $30 or more with a registered Amex card at a Ruby Tuesday location and receive a $10 statement credit.

This offer is showing in all logins, I believe, but doesn’t have a Twitter hashtag. Offer in-store only.

  • Ruby Tuesday is offering a holiday promotion on the purchase of gift cards. For every $50 in gift cards purchases, receive a $15 bonus card. A $25 gift card will get a $5 bonus card. These offers are available both in-store and online.

Important: The $15 bonus card will be valid from 1/2/16 until 3/1/16. The $50 gift card won’t expire ever. Also, you can only use one promo code per visit. If you go with a group, you should hopefully be able to split the bill and have each person pay separately to be able to get the $15 off per person.

Our Verdict

The stacking here really makes for a great deal. Ruby Tuesday gift cards purchased in-store should trigger the Amex Offer credit, like any in-store purchase. As for the Ruby Tuesday holiday offer – the terms are clear that if you buy $100 in gift cards you’ll get $30 in bonus cards and $150 will get $45, etc.

If you are comfortable asking the cashier to split up $150 in gift cards onto 5 separate Amex cards at $30 each, you’ll end up paying just $100 for the gift cards and you’ll net $45 in bonus cards. That’s $195 for $100 – not too shabby!

You can even resell the gift cards for a small profit and use the bonus cards yourself – hack your meal! You can’t resell the promo cards, however, since they have an expiration date.

Also, if you are eating at a Ruby Tuesday location between now and 12/31/15, it makes sense not to pay for your meal directly; purchase a gift card first to trigger the bonus card (which you can use in January) and pay for your meal with the gift card.
