Gift Card Bonus Deals!

I try my hardest not to buy gift cards for friends and family. I try to put some thought into their gifts, and that's why I like to start thinking about Christmas gifts so early. I feel like whenever I buy a giftcard, it is the lazy way out for me and sometimes so impersonal. But now that it is Christmas time, my tune starts to change when restaurants start offering me Bonus Gift Cards and such! How much more personal can you get than a gift for yourself!

So if you are planning on purchasing gift cards for friends or family members, I have compiled a list of restaurants or retailers offering you something in return. If I have left one out that you know of and would like to share, feel free to leave it in the comments!
