Any idea how I felt after taking my wife out to a $100 dinner?

We thoroughly enjoyed the evening out. On top of that, I have to say I knew I'd just scored numerous off-season brownie points. She and I were already bracing for the time I'd be spending away during Spring football that was right arount the bend.

Of course, I felt great because she and I had enjoyed a wonderful evening out at a great restaurant.

I have to admit I felt even better because our $100 dinner had only cost us $40!

I had logged on to the NHSFCA Member Benefits Portal earlier that day and clicked on the "Dining Deal Locator" icon on the right hand side of the screen. From there, a new screen popped up and I was taken to the restaurant page. All I did was pop in our zip code and ask for all dining deals within 15 miles. All of a sudden, I was scrolling through a great list of restaurants and I absolutely fell on my face at the discounts. I couldn't believe it. The average discount on certificates was 60%.

I bought a $100 gift certificate to a 3-star restaurant - a place my wife had wanted to go to for some time - FOR ONLY $40! Are you kidding me? My membership just paid for itself in one evening. As I head off into the abyss that is Spring football, I look forward to the end of May when I can take advantage of yet another great deal. If you have not yet registered your member benefits card, all I can say is that you are missing out.
