What’s not to love about Wendy’s? Our favorite red-haired mascot has been serving up budget-friendly Frostys and juicy, square burgers since forever, but delivering quality food isn’t where she draws the line.
For the next couple of weeks, Wendy’s is rewarding only the most devoted fans with all the best perks you can imagine. Get moving, because right now you can snag a Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for free.
How to Get a Free Wendy’s Burger
We know what you’re thinking—what’s the catch? First, you’ll have to download the Wendy’s app. Once you do that, navigate to the “Explore” page, click “Offers” and you’re welcomed into a whole new world of deals, from $1 large soft drinks to free Baconator fries with a mobile purchase.
To get a free Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, you’ll have to tack on at least one purchase, no matter the price tag. Buy a soft drink or any size order of fries and you can redeem the burger just like that. You have to admit, lunch for under $2 is a pretty great deal.
The app also includes deals like $1 off any entree salad and $2 off a Baconator combo. (See which Wendy’s salads are the healthiest.) With the purchase of any Premium Sandwich, you’ll automatically get a free order of medium fries. Don’t wait—go to Wendy’s right now and thank us later.
This is how Wendy’s Baconator ranked in our top 10 fast-food cheeseburgers.
Why You Have to Move Fast
Wendy’s is no stranger to rewarding fans with free burgers—they actually did it just last summer in honor of National Cheeseburger Day. But like all the best things, the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger deal won’t be around for long. The expiration date on the app reads now through August 19, meaning you’ve got a little more than two weeks to claim yours.
Unfortunately, you can only redeem the burger once, so if you’re headed to Wendy’s today for your free burger, make it count. (And if you feel like splurging on a Frosty, we won’t tell.)
