Restaurants or fast food, need physical cards for Christmas cards.

What are you looking for? I feel like part of the OP is missing.

@Asuka , do you mean places that sell, say, a $50 gift card and then tack on a $10 gift card on top of it? So that in essence, you pay $50 for $60 worth of gift cards?

I know a few local places that do it, and I know the national chain Olive Garden had a promotion like that in the recent past (might still have it for all I know).

I think Costco sells gift cards at a discount, if that helps.

As an example, five $20 gift cards for Subway for $79.99. Or four $215 gift cards for Cracker Barrel for the same $79.99.

Yes I want to buy a $50 gift card for someone but then also keep the $10 bonus card they’ll give you.

Lots of places are doing that right now but only for digital gift cards.
