Sorry if I'm being really thick but I am following instructions from the 2010 Las Vegas thread on how to buy Restaurant.com certificates which say

2) Go to the restaurant.com site and click on the "Gift a Gift" tab towards the top right of the page

(3) Scroll down past the gift cards to an option headed "Give Restaurant.com Gift Certificates", select the quantity and denomination you want e.g. 2 x $25 then 'add to cart'

However, I can't see the above option, there are only options to buy Gift Cards of eGift Cards. Have they changed the name of the Gift Certificate to eGift Card or am I doing something really silly here?

All you need to do is find which restaurant you want a voucher for then click 'add to cart' and then sign in if haven't already. Enter code SPRING for 70% off a $25 voucher.

HP_Sauce, I thought that Kahunaville was at TI. (Not that I've ever been to it.)

Haha you are right, I meant TI, we didn't even go in the Tropicana so don't know where that came from lol!

Hi guys

We flew with BA and after flying with them both trips I think we might try Virgin next time purely for the earlier flight. When we go away we would prefer to get up on the last day and just go rather than waiting around most of the day before you can fly. Our flight home was delayed due to a security alert at Heathrow so that didn't help matters and then when we got back to the UK, despite making up time because of the wind, we then had to wait ages to get off the plane so they could bus everyone to get to the terminal.

What day did you return?I had s imilar thing on my flight, we were late to depart and then had to wait at the other end.

This seems like an ongoing thing. We also noticed 2 other BA planes at the remote stand doing the same thing, it's not on. Write and complain, I did and they deposited 15,000 miles each into our accounts

I think I will do that, thanks for the tip!

These instructions were specifically for buying restaurant.com gift certificates at 80% off discount, then using those gift certificates to buy regular restaurant.com dining certificates....it's a way around some restaurants selling out before the 80% off codes are released each month. If this is actually what you want to do - choose e-Gift card...if you choose the regular gift card it has to be posted to a US address.

Kelly is right - if you just want to buy a certificate using an existing discount code just add it to your cart and add the promo code and there you go.

They can't sort out the issues with their staff, for one - I know that there's always a risk that something will go wrong and a flight with any airline will be cancelled - weather, ash clouds, general industrial action, etc...but I'm not booking with an airline that has a poor track record re: strikes - even if the long-haul flights are less likely to be affected...not having our holiday ruined for something that's a known risk...this remote stand thing that's been reported several times recently...seating configuration (no potential for pairs in economy from what I understand)...flight times (don't like the late arrival, though I know you said it had its benefits).

All fair points I guess. They are running a 747 as from June so might be able to do the pair at the back thing, but then you will have to pay for it!!
