Wendy's revealed its freebie deals for the holidays and customers will be able to enjoy the new offers. For the next two weeks, the fast-food chain is offering free Baconator Fries and more.
Wendy's is offering week-long deals where customers can get free food. One of the deals is a free entrée for every purchase while the other set of deals is all about the french fries.
As per Thrillist, diners can get a free order of Baconator Fries for this week. To get this freebie, customers just have to purchase any food through the Wendy's app. After placing the order, the skinny fries topped with creamy cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, and Applewood smoked bacon will be added to the package.
This offer is said to be available from Dec. 20 to Dec. 26 only. Then on the following week, which is from Dec. 27 to Jan. 2, Wendy's will re-launch the same offer and customers can redeem the free Baconator Fries once a week.
And this is not all, along with the cheesy fries, Wendy's will also be giving a Chili for free with any purchase made via the restaurant's mobile app. This is also available from Dec. 20 to Dec. 26 but it should be noted that customers are not allowed to combine two deals per transaction. This means that you can have the Baconator Fries in one purchase and still had to make another order to get the Chili.
As posted on Wendy's website the free Chili is perfect for the chilly weather. Since it got colder, Wendy's stated: "So this week, get a FREE small chili when you buy anything else with the offer in our app. Better use it now, though before your fingers get too cold to scroll and tap and whatnot."
Wendy's Chili is a savory sauce that has ground beef, green peppers, kidney beans, onions, celery, tomatoes and is spiced with chili powder and cumin. It was mentioned that Wendy's free food offerings for this holiday season will only be in participating locations in the United States.
To enjoy the freebies, customers must download the Wendy's app and must create an account and register.
