McDonald's still seems to have the best app deals in my area. Now that the local baseball season is ending, the free chicken sandwiches with the win have been replaced by a free Big Mac with $1+ purchase when the football team (Philadelphia Eagles) wins. That and the Free large fry with $1 purchase is still on the app as it has been for months now.

Two weeks ago, Wendy's had a printed Free Breakfast sandwich coupon with any purchase on one of those larger advertising flyers that holds in the weekly supermarket sale ads. Since the expiration was several weeks away, I ran down to the local post office and found a bunch more lying around :lol:

The McDonalds app in Reno/NorCal has changed the $1 Large Fry promotion to "$1 off Large Fry." Can still get $1 Fry in other regions I've been to in recent months or free any fry with $1 purchase in some regions too.

I noticed that Wendys coupon too, but haven't redeemed any of them yet. I should see if the Wendys I was quite grossed out by is any better in the morning than it is in the afternoon, though that also assumes their door is unlocked to walk in during the morning (lots of assumptions here). Wendy's breakfast they are saying is so successful but it appears to me they have to keep giving food away to drive traffic. First it was the $1 Biscuits, then more recently 2 Biscuits for $3 via the app (this wasn't offered in CA but we had it in NV), now they issued a ton of these free any breakfast sandwich coupons... I actually think this Wendy's breakfast is excellent and I prefer it by far to McDonalds and also prefer it to Carls (though Carls biscuit is bigger).

For several years, McD's had sweet deals -- free McFlurry if the Kings scored X goals, free Big Mac if UCLA or USC's football teams won, free sandwich of your choice if the Lakers advanced, etc. (This was pre-app as well as the app's early days). In the past couple years, these have been replaced with basic deals like "free small soft drink if USC blows out its opponent."

Was surprised to see McDonald's bring back the free 6pc Chicken McNuggets app offer if the Portland Trail Blazers score 100 pts. I figured it was for sure a goner.

The franchisees group in each region votes on these promotions and while traveling around it is interesting to see how some regions have kept these types of promotions going while other regions have eliminated them.

Wendys is offering 5 days of free items supposedly.

I guess 10/27 was a free Large Fries with any purchase.

Not sure what happens the next 4 days.

Does Jack in the Box do anything anymore? I deleted their new app from my phone, it no longer lets me log in. I gave up since they're closed most of the times when I try to go there anyway.

The new Jack In The Box App is terrible. I can't even sign in with my old password now. They want you to reset your password.

Jack In The Box really knows how to drive away customers. The only deal is 2 tacos for $1. There are no other deals at all.
