So youre saying by the time i reedem the card it will have like $35 on it? Cause not quite sure how you can lose money on this lol
I'd love IHOP but the prices near me are absurd imo. The classic pancake combo is $16 near me. A 5 stack of basic pancakes is $12.30. Flavored pancakes are $14.... that's all before taxes and the tip as well. Good deal at 20% off for the gift cards of course though.

Yeah the prices have gone through the roof. For a while there, their omelettes were bumped up to like $16-$18, but guess even they realized it was ludicrous to pay as much for an omelette as a ribeye.
With the way inflation is going you'll probably lose money by the time you redeem it. Gift cards are never a smart purchase in inflationary times.
Fair point but this is 20% off. As long as you use it within a year I would guess you would be fine unless you think there will be more than 20% inflation sooner than that.
That being said that if you were going to spend $50 at IHOP anyway then regardless of when you use this card it will effectively still be 20% off your meals.

Agreed, but my comment meant more for the people that buy cards and hang onto them for a while which is a large percentage of folks. How many of us have unused gift cards hanging around from last year? I know I still have quite a few.

That doesn't make any sense. Even if the omelette goes up to $20 a year from now, I'd still have to pay $20.

Check out their Hoppy hour menu, $8 burgers aren't a bad deal, and bogo milkshakes are everyday at the ones near us make it not a bad deal.

Yes, but you'd also have the option to NOT buy the $20 omelette and decide to make your own omelette. The point is the intrinsic value of the gift card decreases with inflation.This is basic economics.
