Milwaukee Admirals Promotions for New Year’s Day
The Milwaukee Admirals have a couple of great promotions for their 6:00 P.M. New Year’s Day game against the Houston Aeros at the Bradley Center. In addition to the promotions outlined below, the first 2,500 fans will receive a retro Admirals winter cap, complete with a tassel on top and the skating Admirals logo. Plus, when the game is over all fans are invited to take a lap or two around the Bradley Center Ice in The Private Bank Family Skate.
Private Bank Family Day
In honor of the new year, Friday’s game is a special Private Bank Family Day. Fans can purchase four Stern and Bow tickets, four hot dogs, and four sodas for only $40. (If you buy your family pack tickets online at Ticketmaster, the cost including fees is $12.75 per ticket.) If you are purchasing these tickets at the box office, they must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance.
Chipotle Fiesta Deck Deal
As part of the Chipotle Fiesta Deck Deal, fans can pay $16 and receive a Stern & Bow ticket, a Chipotle Burrito Buck (good for a free burrito), and a kazoo.
Stern & Bow tickets are regularly priced at $16 and are located at the North and South ends of the Bradley Center. Every Friday home game this season will feature the Chipotle Fiesta Deck promotion
You can purchase your tickets online at Ticketmaster. If you want the Stern & Bow tickets make sure you receive seats in sections 203 through 211 or sections 217 through 225.
Kerns Carpet One – 3 Years No Interest and $75 Installation Deal
Milwaukee area carpet retailer Kerns Carpet One has been in business for 75 years and is celebrating with a couple of attractive offers. Through January 11th, you can get no interest financing for 3 years on your purchase. If you take advantage of the 3 years of interest free financing, you’ll need to make monthly payments equal to 1/36th of the purchase price for 36 months. So, if your purchase totaled $360, you would make payments of $10 a month for the next 3 years. If you miss a payment, you would be responsible for all interest charges associated with the program, so it is critical that you do not miss any payments. Of course you’ll want to read all of the fine print regarding this no interest offer before making your purchase.
The other special that Kerns is offering is $75 installation. This fee includes removal of old carpet, moving up to 4 pieces of furniture per room, and installation of new carpet. The $75 price is for the entire job, so if you are having carpet installed in one room or the entire house, the price is just $75.
Kerns has three locations in the Milwaukee area – Brookfield, Fox Point & Greenfield. For more details on their locations and hours, check out the Kerns Carpet One website.

$25 Milwaukee Restaurant Gift Certificates for $2 Plus $10 Bonus
Restaurant.com is running another 80% off sale through the end of the year, and this time you get a free bonus $10 gift certificate for each order you place. With this special deal, you can get a $25 gift certificate and a $10 gift certificate to the Milwaukee area restaurants of your choice for only $2! Or if you prefer, you can get a $10 restaurant gift certificate plus a bonus free $10 gift certificate for only $0.80! There are over 100 restaurants in the Milwaukee area that participate in the Restaurant.com program and new restaurants are being added all the time.
To take advantage of this offer, visit the Restaurant.com website. When you check out, enter coupon code CHEER to save 80% on your order. This offer is available through December 31st. The code for your free $10 gift certificate will be emailed to you within 24 hours
A great strategy for these sales is to buy a stockpile of Restaurant.com gift certificates (as opposed to gift certificates to a specific restaurant) to use at a later date. Gift certificates can be purchased at a discount and then applied to the purchase of a certificate for the restaurant of your choice at any time in the future. That way you can be assured that you always pay no more than $2 for a $25 gift certificate. It also helps if gift certificates to any of your favorite restaurants are out of stock.
Each of the participating restaurants has restrictions, such as minimum purchase amounts and days that the gift certificates can be used. Make sure to read the details for the restaurant you’re considering before making your purchase.
