I opened up my email Thanksgiving Day and had the following email from Restaurant.com:

“We have all seen the news coverage about job losses, business failures, housing foreclosures and more in these tough economic times. As the giving season is upon us many wonder how they will give to those on their holiday lists. The reality is that many holiday lists will be cut short. The team at Restaurant.com wants to help.

To celebrate the gift of giving, Restaurant.com is stocking a giving site with $30 million of Restaurant.com Gift Certificates. You now have the opportunity, every day for 30 days, to enrich the lives and satisfy the palates of those around you. It is absolutely FREE to give and FREE to receive.”

I checked it out and it seems to be legit. The offers are for $10 gift certificates which you can give to anyone. You can give up to 30 people a day until Christmas. One caveat: you are basically giving your friends and family’s email addresses away to Restaurant.com. Smart way for Restaurant.com to get a bunch of email addresses to advertise to.
