Well, you *have* to spend more than the value in most cases.

Even if the restaurant got 100% of the $5 you paid for the $25.00 gift certificate, they'd still be losing money.

IMO, these certs are a good way to try a new restaurant if you're unsure of it, but making a habit of dining only with a restaurant.com gift certificate is doing more harm than good.
