I know that the rewards for Nine Fine Irishmen is a dollar amount voucher. Is there a difference in the amount of the voucher for the one 10.5k and the one for I believe is 17.5k. From what I've read they don't seem to require you to purchase anything specific.
Last year they were $25 and $35 respectively. The food wasn't very nice. We had Fish and Chips and Turkey Pot Pie and I couldn't eat my fish. If we get the reward again, we will just use it for appetisers and beer.
It looks like for 10,500 you get your choice of Fish & Chips or Sheperd's Pie with the purchase of an entree, where for 17,500 you get a BOGO... a much better deal, IMO.
You actually get a coupon for the cash value I mentioned earlier. You can use them as cash. If you just want beer you can do that, or any combination from the menu.
