Dinner with friends using gift certificate
The dinner ended up at $180 something.. i put down my $100 and the three other paid around $36 each with the tips.. seems fair..

The restaurant was chosen because I had the gift certificate, but nobody else had any suggestions, so why not? What is wrong with that?
I will just put down the gift certificate of $100 at the end and I'll ask the others to cover the rest. My worry from the beginning was if I would have had to put down extra money.

Why does it matter the way in which the gift card is acquired? Is it important for me to mention that I had to wait in a line-up and walk far to pick it up? The point is that I have a gift card of $100.
The question is: how should I pay and what's fair?
If the bill ends up at $200, I contribute $100 for my girlfriend and me, the three others pay $100, which means $33.33/ person. Is that fair?
Or, if the bill ends up at $150, then I contribute $100 and the three others give $50 = $16.67/person? What is fair then?
If you win the lottery and you pay $2 for your ticket, do you become Santa Claus and share millions with everybody else because you just pay $2 for your ticket? Does that make you feel good?

This gift certificate was sold at $50 for a value of $100 at the restaurant. The catch is that you have to spend the entire $100 amount in a single visit.

We pay for the gift certificate. This is why I was referring to $100 + whatever the amount is left...

I have a gift certificate of $100 for a restaurant. I am going to dinner with my girlfriend and three other friends.
I am planning to use the gift certificate to pay for my meal and my girlfriend's meal. I'm not sure we will be able to order $100 of food. The amount remaining cannot be reused at another time. What should we do with the remaining amount? Should we have one single bill for the party of five or individual bills?
My worry is that if we have one single bill and the meal comes to a total of $200, we will use the gift certificate and then divide the remaining amount in 5. So ($200 - $100)/5, which means that my girlfriend and I will pay $40 more.
Or will it look cheap if we have separate bills for everyone and we just waste the remaining amount?
