6:48 AM and I don't see them yet. I hope they're not gone by the time I get to work!.

They were up and running by 6:55. Unfortunately I was unable to purchase my select six, because the last four digits on the back of my credit card are smeared, and I was unable to read them correctly. :(

That doesn't seem right Gayle. Call me at 877-870-DINE and we can try and figure something out!

Just for information

The first two 50.00 sold out were Napa River and Seviche with Lillys third.

The first 25.00 sold out was Havana Rumba.

To some extent, that gives an indication of popularity.

I am curious then...

by Derrick Dones » Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:44 am

When the sale kicked off, did all teh restaurants have certs available? If so, how many. For example, how many Havana Rhumba $25 GC's sold in a span of like 5-6 hours? I bought some at around 9:00 am, and the selections were dwindling already! DD

So my selections were held until I was able to run to the bank (just down the street) and get the needed numbers. I think Nate went way beyond the need. But bless him; I'm one very happy customer.

Thank you, Nate. :D

Hey Nate,

My wife and I typically purchase 6 certificates from the same restaurant. We like to give them as gifts to people who would not normally dine at a particular place because they don't know the cuisine. When I tried to purchase 6 this morning it would only let me pick up two (2) at any one spot. Is this a new policy? A glitch in your software? You can only get six and they have to be from 3 different places? I didn't get any as we had pre-planned our usual and hadn't discussed a back up plan (yeah, silly us). Please advise.

All of the listed restaurants had 25 available. A couple had more, maybe some left over from the last time.

Havana Rumba was the first $25 sold out at about 7:20.

All posted about 7:00.

I always miss out on the ones I really want. I'm at the gym when they go up, and working in Frankfort means by the time I get to work the ones I want are gone. One day I'll take a day off for personal errands on the day they go up and this will be the first one. :D
