Our 20 Go-To Food Apps for Scoring Free Food and Discounts:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

1. When it comes to free food apps, the McDonald’s app<\/a> was a clear winner.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"McDonalds<\/p>\n

The McDonald’s app is a favorite among the Hip2Save team and readers – and for good reason! It’s the fastest way to find deals (like $2 Big Macs or free fries with a $3 purchase) and earn free food.<\/p>\n

Join the MyMcDonald’s Rewards Program<\/a> and get 100 points for every $1 you spend. Rack up points and redeem them for free items like a McChicken, Hash Browns, or a Cheeseburger. Angela from our team scored a full meal for around $4—check out her tips and more team favorites!<\/p>\n

\n

“The McDonald’s app is a no-brainer! I get two hamburger patties with cheese and a Coke Zero and it’s so much easier to order on the app vs trying to explain to them that I don’t want anything but the meat. AND it’s cheaper to order it that way vs ordering a hamburger and saying no bun or other stuff.  I could cash in points and get a Happy Meal plus what is on the screen (shown above) for only $4.18 total .” – <\/strong> <\/em>Angela, Hip2Save team<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“100% best is McDonald’s. Freeeeeee food!!! Do NOT eat anywhere without checking to see if they have an app!<\/em> 😂” – Paige, Hip2Save team<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“Use their apps. We get a $1 breakfast sandwich every day at McDonald’s. I actually freeze them to eat at another time. McGriddles are so good!”<\/em> – Shelly, Hip2Save reader
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Chick-fil-A One Members<\/a> can easily rack up points to score delicious freebies.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"chick-fil-a<\/p>\n

The Chick-fil-A app is almost as popular as McDonald’s app, earning you 10 points per $1 spent, and the amount of points you earn goes up with every membership tier. It only takes 200 points to snag FREE fast food<\/strong> like fries, hash browns, or a cookie, and 600 points can score you nuggets!<\/p>\n

You’ll also get a free birthday reward<\/strong> and early access to new menu items. Plus, the app makes customizing your order a breeze!<\/p>\n

\n

“On the CFA app they always add in freebies about once a month and you can build points to cash in for sides, drinks, treats or entrees.”<\/em> – Angela, Hip2Save team<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“The only fast food app I’ve ever used was Chick-fil-A but I’ve always felt it was really simple to use – in fact so simple even my kids are able to add their order while I’m driving lol. I think everything is laid out really well, and the additional options are really easy to add on, such as gluten-free buns and adding sauces, etc. It has saved me many times during sports seasons when we’re running late to a game and need food ASAP.” <\/em>– Sara<\/strong>, Hip2Save team<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3. Download Wendy’s app<\/a> for immediate access to free food and\/or discounts.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Want fast food deals sent straight to your phone? Download the Wendy’s app and join the rewards program. You’ll earn 10 points per $1 spent and unlock instant offers like $1 Crispy Chicken or Bacon Cheeseburgers, $2 off combos, and more.<\/p>\n

This app is SO ser-friendly! Check the Offers tab for deals and the Rewards tab to redeem points—200 points gets you free nuggets, fries, or a Frosty, and 300 points scores even bigger freebies. Easy, delicious savings! 🥤<\/p>\n

\n

“I LOVE that Wendy’s app lets you stack deals + reward redemptions (McD’s does not).” <\/em>– Monica, Hip2save team
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“Definitely use the apps. Besides earning points to redeem food, they also always have deals (I’ve used the $3 off mobile order coupon on Wendys a couple of times), give you free birthday deals, and, for me, I tend to be wiser about choosing when I have time to look at the app rather than quickly ordering stuff in the drive-thru. Plus, you can play around with ingredients and often add things to a basic menu item for less than what they charge for a similar item on the menu.” <\/em>– Peggy, Hip2Save reader

4. As far as free food apps go, Burger King’s<\/a> is super user-friendly and has a ton of offers every day.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Royal Perks members<\/a> get 40% off an annual Walmart+ membership
\n+ special Burger King discounts & a FREE Whopper every quarter!<\/span><\/div>\n

The Burger King app is one of our top picks for scoring free food and deals. We’ve been testing out tons of apps over the past year, and BK’s is one of the most user-friendly, regularly updated, and packed with offers—like free upgrades, family bundles, and sandwich discounts.<\/p>\n

Royal Perks members earn 10 Crowns per $1 spent. Just $25 in spending can earn you free hash browns, with even better rewards as you go. Members also get free size upgrades and 2X Crowns during their birthday month. Even with Burger King’s higher prices, this app gets the crown from us. 👑<\/p>\n

\n

5. The Subway app lets you cash in rewards for a $2 discount.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

If you like to eat a footlong for lunch, give the Subway app a try. Hip2Save’s Liz uses this app and hasn’t paid full price for food since signing up! Right now, all new Subway MVP Rewards members get 250 points just for joining!<\/p>\n

All members receive special offers plus a birthday freebie, and if you spend $400 or more per year, you’ll earn FREE chips with a purchase on Fridays!<\/p>\n

\n

“I love the Subway app! It’s super easy to use promo codes, customize your order, schedule the order, AND earn and apply rewards. If you’ve earned one, they will have the option to apply it right there in the cart, no need to look around the app to see if you have one or not.”<\/em> – Jenna, Hip2Save team
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“Subway is another one that is great! It’s super easy to customize your order and add promo codes. You also earn points that can be redeemed for $2 off your purchase!”<\/em> – Chelsey, Hip2Save team<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
