They told me I could purchase $100 worth of wine from OrderWineDirect.com.<br>The coupon was $15. The catch: You have to spend at least $200 to get the $100 savings. No big deal. I was OK with that. However, OrderWineDirect.com does NOT ship to the state of OHIO. They failed to tell me that before I spent $30 for 2 coupons. I\u2019ve asked for a refund of my money back. They refuse to respond at all and have not refunded my money. I have $200 worth of OrderWineDirect.com coupons that I cannot use. Very frustrated.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Restaurant\/review\/2313283#comment2313283","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Restaurant.jpg","store_name":"Restaurant.com","username":"bearsareone","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

I refused it by stating the last thing I wanted to do was continue doing business with a company whose first transaction was fraudulent!<br> Currently involved in a PayPal dispute after Restaurant.com responded with they do not refund fees!!<br> Paypal has already decided I was delt with fraudulently,however my money has yet to be refunded.<br>STAY AWAY!!","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Restaurant\/review\/2142183#comment2142183","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Restaurant.jpg","store_name":"Restaurant.com","username":"PaulB035","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

I did not know that even reading the find print, that a participating restaurants could so easily just opt out.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I\u2019m sitting here trying not to lose my patience, but I can not in good conscience sit idlily by. On June 4th, I purchased 10 $25.00 restaurant.com gift cards to hand out to teachers in my children\u2019s school. At that time, it stated on the website that if you purchased $40 or more, there would be no shipping cost and I should expect to receive my gift cards within 2 \u2013 3 business days. On June 7th I called customer service because I had not yet received my cards. The rep told it normally takes 3 -5 business days to receive. The rep couldn\u0027t tell me what the tracking number was or whether the cards were even shipped but I said okay. On June 12th I called customer service again because I still had not received the cards. The customer service rep that I spoke to now said that it takes 3 - 7 business days to receive gifts cards (see a pattern here?). I asked if I could cancel the transaction and I was told no. I had to wait until I received the cards and return them before she could cancel the transaction (what!?!?!?). I called again on June 13th (7 business day later) and the customer service rep that I spoke to this time said that I should have received my gift cards. She said Restaurant.com was not responsible for stolen or lost cards and that I should have followed up with UPS. WHAT!?!?! Stolen\/lost, the cards were probably never shipped. She couldn\u0027t provide the UPS tracking number or the date they were sent out. I\u0027ll never use this website again or recommend it to anyone. It\u0027s also interesting that on there website they have a place to put testimonials, but there isn\u0027t a place for a client to criticize them. TERRIBLE COMPANY.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Restaurant.com cares only about themselves, and looks to profit at the restaurants expense. Unlike all other voucher sellers RDC does not split the sales of the vouchers with the merchants. Instead they make the patrons provide the benefit to the merchants by requiring spending above the vouchers value and requiring that 18% gratuity be added to the bills prior to the discount being applied. Their agreement lasts for one year and is automatically renewed each year and the merchants must give 90 days notice to cancel!!!!! In the very near future RDC will be responsible for the closing of many small restaurants just like Groupon, yet unlike Groupons slow downward spiral, RDC has chosen to get on the autobonn and make for a very fast downward spiral. A warning to all restaurant owners DO NOT SIGN UP WITH restaurant.com they will do everything in their greedy power to reap the most benefit from you without providing any benefit to you (the definition of a parasite)!!!!!

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I don\u0027t write reviews, but I felt this time I should. I\u0027ve never ordered from restaurant.com before and was thrilled when Eversave.com offered a combination of a $50 restaurant.com gift card and 2 movie tickets all for $22. Great deal. But, my huge disappointment is with the selection of restaurants that participate on restaurant.com. I barely recognize any of the places listed and some of the locations are not in the best part of town. I went through the 51 pages and read every single restaurant and only found 4 I would choose to walk into, there\u0027s not even a generic Chili\u0027s or McDonald\u0027s listed. I\u0027ve lived in Columbus, OH for 15 years, I\u0027m well aware of places to eat in town. Very, very disappointed and would recommend you not bother buying. I\u0027m embarrassed that I fell for this scam.

My plan was to give them out as Christmas gifts.

I requested a refund and was told that restaurant.com has a no refund policy. Okay fine, how about providing me with what I purchased.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I have purchased several gift certificates on restaurant.com and given many as gifts. I have not heard any complaints from anyone I\u0027ve given the gift to. If you understand the terms of the certificate before paying there shouldn\u0027t be issues. And be sure to point out the terms if you give a certificate as a gift to someone.<br><br>I looked through some of the negative reviews on here and many seem to be by the restaurants themselves rather than consumers. Those reviews shouldn\u0027t be on here. Imagine if wholesalers started posting bad reviews about a retail store.

It is very dishonest.<br><br>Now we are having people present coupons that are over 2 1\/2 years old and complain that we will not take them any more. That is unreasonable, especially since restaurants.com does not give a penny of the amount of sale to the restaurant. They keep it for themselves and the restaurant is responsible for the $25 bill reduction. It is not a good set up and it puts the customer and the restaurant in a bad position while restaurant.com keeps the money. In addition, once the contract is cancelled restaurants.com immediately shuts down access to the certificate validation website so there is no way to validate the certificates without calling an 800 number. Servers don\u2019t have time during a service to call in a validation for each coupon presented. Can you imagine?<br><br>Our small restaurant does not have the resources to enter a legal battle with Restaurants.com, but we can spread the word to warn customers and restaurants about how restaurants.com operates.<br>","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Restaurant\/review\/884969#comment884969","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Restaurant.jpg","store_name":"Restaurant.com","username":"markelisei","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

"I bought a $75 gift certificate for a restaurant and took the whole office to a nice luncheon. When we got there the restaurant said they didn’t accept these certificates for lunch.
I’m very aware of the rules and limitations on all of the restaurant.com certificates and specifically looked for this limitation. On all other restaurants that don’t take the certificates it specifically says not valid for lunch or dinner only. This was not the case for this restaurant.
When I notified restaurant.com they said too bad, we’ll credit your account. I didn’t want a credit, I want my money back. Sorry . . . if you didn’t read our 9 page legal contract, but please try again. I guess next time I should contact an attorney before I make a $30 restauranat.com purchase. That’s not gonna happen because I will NEVER make another purchase from Restaurant.com.
