1. Download the App for free treats (& a birthday surprise!)
Download the free Chick-fil-A One App and scan it at every visit before ordering to earn points for every purchase. You can use your points once you have enough to redeem available rewards. And once you reach Silver Status, you'll have the option to give your rewards to friends & family, which is awesome!

Ready to sign up? You can become a member by creating an account online or by downloading the free Chick-fil-A App through the App Store or the Google Play store.
🚗Skip the line! This isn't a money-saving tip, but more a time-saver…and time is money sometimes, right?? If your drive-thru often has a long line, use the app to place your order and pick it up via Curbside! It's often much faster, especially if you have a busy location!
2. Don't miss Chick-fil-A's Code Moo Seasonal Rewards!
“Code Moo” is Chick-fil-A's summertime promotional game where you can earn rewards! You play games where you answer a series of geographical questions each week. By completing these challenges weekly, you can be entered into a raffle for a drawing of the “grand prize” as well as smaller rewards such as free entrees and merchandise! Chick-fil-A hasn't officially announced the date that “Code Moo” will begin in 2024 , so check back here for updates! Based on the run dates and timeline from last year, our best guess is that it will begin sometime in the next week and run for 6 weeks through July! To learn more about the celebration, visit playCodeMoo.com. *This reminds me of the Starbucks for Life Rewards Promo that they do around Christmas! What an easy and fun way to get free Chick-fil-A!
3. Trade in toys for free ice cream for kids. (And other kid's meal hacks ;))
One of the most shared tips amongst moms of littles is that you can save the toy that comes in the kid's meals and trade it in for a free Ice Dream treat. You can also just ask for an ice cream treat instead of the toy when ordering if you're okay with your little one having a treat soon before it melts.
But if you forget, just be sure to hang on to that unopened toy or book! Since sometimes your kids just aren't into the toy of the month – or you're getting duplicates – this is a great alternative! When my kids were little enough not to notice or care, I would tuck away the toys that came with their kids' meals, and pull them out on a later date so we could have a free trip to the play place, snack included. 😉
In addition, when you order a kid’s meal, you can choose not to get the toy and instead can upsize your drink or fries for free! This is perfect if you're trying to save a little money, or if you're not too hungry! (select locations)
Do you have a kid under 3 that loves Chick-fil-A? When you order a kid's meal, you can ask for a “3 and under” toy that's more friendly for younger ones! (select locations)
If you want to grab a Kid's Meal but it's still Chick-fil-A's Breakfast hours*, don't worry! You can order a 5-ct Nugget Kid's Meal (fried) during “Breakfast”, and the only difference is that you'll get hashbrowns instead of fries! *may vary by location.
4. Fill out those surveys!
UPDATE – The receipt surveys have moved mostly to the mobile app.
At the bottom of your receipt, look for a possible coupon for a free Chick-fil-A sandwich for completing a survey (nowadays it's mostly done in the app). I am so used to throwing those in the bottom of my purse and forgetting about them, but lately I realize I've actually been tossing away some super-valuable freebies!
Surveys appear only once in a while (maybe once every few visits) and usually on full-price orders, but it varies.
5. Get creative with menu choices!
Did you know that you can buy a 30-count box of chicken nuggets for under $15 at most locations? The price per nugget is about the same if you were to purchase the 8- or 12-count entrees, but you can order a couple of large fries and it is enough food and works out being cheaper than ordering separate meals.
Here are some other ways Passionate Penny Pincher readers have shared that they save on Chick-fil-A:
“We buy a 4-Piece Chicken Strips meal for $6.19 and add buns (2 for 20¢) = $6.39. We then have basically two chicken filet sandwiches and share the fries and drink! :)” – Amy
“I often buy the larger nuggets and a fry for me and youngest man child to eat.” – Kelli
“I always order one 6 piece kids meal to share between my two… I trade the toy for ice cream… get the food home, split it up and add fruit or goldfish. Both kids are full and happy!” – Jessica
“We always order the 30 count nugget, one large fry and I get the Market salad. Of course that's to go—so once we are at home– I divide the Nuggets up and add a fruit, or some type of side. I eat the salad and my husband and three children eat on the nuggets and fries. We can feed 5 for $24“ – Selena
“We do the 30 count nuggets my husband and I will share a drink and two large fries.” – Morgan
“Most of the coupons have a trade option so if you don't like the exact item, there's usually an alternative.” – Amanda
6. Grab your favorite Chick-fil-A Dressings and sauces at the store!
If you're a Chick-fil-A sauce enthusiast 😉 , consider stocking up on their new bottled sauces at Walmart, Target, or even Amazon! Other participating retailers that sell this sauce include Food Lion, Harris Teeter, H-E-B, Publix, Winn-Dixie, and more. Plus, grab it during a sale to save the most!
Here are 7 other tips and yummy hacks from the “inside”!
- Chick-fil-A's water is FREE so if you need to save a little on the drink to splurge on the sandwich, water is always a safe bet! Also at some locations, you can get a free refill on sodas, tea, and drip coffee if you ask a team member and then remove the lid and straw.
- We all LOVE that Chick-fil-A nugget ice, so much so that many people have started buying countertop ice machines! If you're like me and you can't afford an ice machine at the moment, head on over to Chick-fil-A where you can get any size cup(s) of ice for free! If you need A LOT of ice, you can also order a bag of ice for only $2.49!
- If you've tried the Frosted Lemonade and love it, this hack is for you! At select locations, you can order any soda “frosted”! This is such a fun hack for summer! You'll want to make sure you use the word “spun soda” or call it a “frosted soda”!
- If you love Chick-fil-A's lemonade, you'll want to check out this hack! At select locations, you can order a lemonade and ADD strawberry (what they put in their Strawberry Shake), making the PERFECT Strawberry Lemonade! (Now that the Peach Shake is back, you can do the same thing with the peach topping!)
- Have a picky eater? Try ordering the grilled cheese! (this is a secret menu item!)
- You can ask for your sandwich to be cut in half!
- If the buns for the sandwiches aren't your jam (or you're gluten-free) you can ask for the sandwiches to be wrapped in lettuce!
