have bought gift certificates
bought one for TABASKO.........restaurant went out of business b4 we used it :-(
bought one for Elenora's karzy grill...............ditto

bought numerous for MJ, BUCCANEER and TULIP..........worked out well.

I highly recommend the AGA gift certificates if the restaurants on the list are what you want.

the gift certificates cost $45 each and are actually $50 gift certificates.
you must purchase a minimum of 2.

it is an excellent deal IF you were planning on dining at the restaurants in the AGA plan.
for us it was BUCCANEER and AMADEUS.

i did not know there was any surcharge associated with the "gift certificates".
there is a surcharge on some of the restaurants using the AGA dine around coupons.
(such as amazonia and laguna)
but a $5 surcharge for using the gift certificates?!

i went to the site and could not find it, could you direct me to it?

i do not want to recommend the gift certificates to people if there is a surcharge.
in my experience it was a $5 savings.
we used them for Amadeus and Buccaneer

thanks

the dine around coupon is in the dine around program.

the gift certificates are NOT in the dine around coupon program.

the $50 gift certificate is worth $50 to be applied to your bill.
the gift certificates are not the coupons.


if you go to the AGA page and read about the AGA dine around program it will show all.

2 separate programs
*the "dine around program" using the coupons/vouchers, which has some surcharges at particular and listed restaurants.

*the gift certificates which can be used at any of the AGA dine around restaurants. the price is $45 for a $50 gift certificate. minimum purchase is 2 gift certificates.

ex: Our bill at Amadeus was $60. we used an AGA gift certificate. it was a $50 gift certificate. So when we paid our bill we used the gift certificate and added in $10 and added in another $12 for tip.

No surcharge using the gift certificates.
Only surcharge on the Dine Around.
