Okay, so I wanted to grab some of those Lettuce Entertain You gift cards, right? I’d heard about them and figured they’d make killer presents. This whole thing started ’cause I was racking my brain for a decent gift idea, and boom, these cards popped into my head.
First off, I hit up their website, figuring that’d be the easiest way to get them. I poked around a bit, checked out the different restaurants they’ve got – quite a few, turns out, over a hundred spots spread across places like Chicago, Vegas, and a bunch of other cities. I’m in Chicago, so that worked out fine for me.
I learned that Lettuce Entertain You is this big-shot restaurant group. They’ve been around for like, 50 years, family-owned, the whole nine yards. Anyway, their site had all the info I needed – how to buy the cards, where they’re accepted, all that jazz. Turns out, you can get them online, which is super convenient.
Here’s what I did:
- Hopped onto their website: This was step one. Found their gift card section pretty easily.
- Chose the type of card: They have both plastic and paper-based ones. I went with plastic ’cause it feels more like a “real” gift, you know? Plus, they can ship it directly to your home.
- Picked the amount: You can load it up with however much money you want. I went for a nice round number, thinking it’s enough for a good meal.
- Filled in the details: Name, address, the usual stuff. They need this to send the card over.
- Paid up: I used my card, but I think they take other payment methods too.
After all that, I got a confirmation email saying the gift card was on its way. Took a few days, but it showed up in my mailbox without any problems. It’s a pretty sweet-looking card, actually. The whole process was a breeze, didn’t even have to leave my couch.
But here’s a heads-up – not all their places take these cards. Like, if you’re thinking of using them at the Eiffel Tower restaurant or those M Burger or Wow Bao spots, no dice. Same goes for the Big Bowl Chinese Express and some locations at Navy Pier. I found that out on their site, so make sure you check that list before you go.
So yeah, that’s my whole experience with getting these Lettuce Entertain You gift cards. Pretty easy, pretty convenient. Now I’ve got a stack of these bad boys ready to give out as gifts. I reckon they’ll be a hit!
