Just in the Nick of time, retailers and restaurants are trying to pull in extra business by offering free gift cards, swag bucks or whatever you want to call them. Buy a certain amount in gift cards or merchandise and you’ll get a gift card for your own use. Now that’s what I call an incentive!
Of course, free doesn’t always mean entirely free and standard federal laws don’t apply to these bonus cards. For example, some are non-transferable, must be used between specific dates, or can’t be resold. Others require you register to receive e-newsletters, so check the rules before you buy.
1. AllPosters.com - $5 card for every $50 gift certificate you purchase.
2. Benihana - $10 promotional card with every $50 purchased in gift cards through Dec. 31. Redeemable Jan. 2 through March 31, 2012.
3. Best Buy - $10 gift card with online purchase of two select, sale-priced video games for Xbox 360 or PS3 consoles.
4. Dressbarn - $10 savings card for every $50 you spend on gift cards. Usable Dec. 26 through Jan. 31, 2012.
5. First Watch-The Daytime Cafe - $20 in Bonus Bucks with every purchase of $100 in gift cards.
6. Globe-Weis - $10 gift card with $50 purchase through June 30, 2012.
7. IHOP - $5 off your next visit when you purchase a $25 gift card through Jan. 31, 2012.
8. Oriental Trading - $10 gift card with order of $59 or more through Feb. 20, 2012.
9. Outback - $20 Bonus Card for each $100 purchased in gift cards through Dec. 31. Bonus Cards are redeemable Jan. 1 to Feb. 10, 2012.
10. Red Robin - $5 Bonus Buck with purchase of a $25 to $45 gift card. Bonus Bucks are redeemable through Feb. 29, 2012.
All the above gift cards must be purchased from the merchants and not through Gift Card Granny.

There are quite a few hotels here in TX that offer teacher discounts. Just ask wherever you will be staying and they will let you know. Some call it the government rate. Surely as long as you have your school ID it will count for supportive staff as well.
