PunchTab and the American gift cards...
So I have redeemed two giftcards now, both of which can only be used in USA.
What's the point, may I ask? Can future coupons be switched to Canadian store use only?
Would be much more useful...

Dude, you should've checked that out first... Restaurant.com is an American site. :/
But yeah, it's pretty lame to have cards that are useless in Canada. Admins, can that get fixed?

Perhaps try selling it online? You might not get the full about back but you will get some of it.

I've been told before that the Amazon.com site does ship to Canada, just individual sellers might not.
but yeah, I definitely agree about the locality issue. I think that the problem is that punchtab is american, so that's mostly all they offer. they do still have the barnes & noble and groupon cards though, so maybe try those?
I think the offers switch monthly (or they did, but not so much anymore)

I redeemed groupon gift card almost a month ago and never got anything, except for an email from punchtab that they will process in 7 days. I emailed them and no response. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yeah it did, just send them another email and wait. They are awfully slow at sending the groupon codes

jkai says thanks to Crzyrio for this post.

actually, punchtab gives the option to limit or not limit the amount of each prize to the webmaster or the person who linked punchtab to macinsiders.
