“Christmas in July,” El Charro Brands’ Annual Buy $100, Get $100 Gift Card Deal Begins

“Christmas in July,” El Charro Brands’ Annual Buy $100, Get $100 Gift Card Deal Begins

Jul 5, 20162 min read

El Charro’s “Christmas In July” has officially begun. But what does that mean?

It means you get 100% of your gift card purchase doubled in extra gift cards. Like, $100 worth doubled. Talk about a double-bonus.

Here’s how it works.

First, you have to get on the pre-order list. To do this, you’ll need to either call or visit any El Charro brand, which includes El Charro, Charro Steak, Sir Veza’s, and Pub 1922 and ask to be added. At this time you can select to leave credit card information with your name and you will be charged $100 on either July 24 or July 25. Alternatively you can simply leave your name.

Next, you wait. On July 24 and July 25 all of the names on the list will be called to process payments for which no credit card information was provided initially. (Names on the list which include credit card info will be charged automatically.)

Finally, once payment has been received, you can pick up your two $100 gift cards.

Many hundreds of people take advantage of the offer – one El Charro alone can receive nearly 500 names. For this reason, only two cards are included. You can opt to have additional cards divvied up any way you choose, but you’ll pay $2 for each extra card on top of the two included cards. So if you simply want the two $100 gift cards, there’s no additional charge. Want a $100 gift card and two $50 gift cards? That’s $2 on top of your $100. Want eight $25 gift cards? It’s $12 on top of the $100 purchase.

One last thing to know if you’re not leaving credit card information with your name on the pre-order list: Make sure you’re available during those two days. If you miss the call, there isn’t an extension past July 25.

And that’s it. Enjoy your free $100. How often does that happen?
