Everyone enjoys chicken tenders—it’s the kind of food that has few to no haters. If you doubt that, look no further than last month’s disastrous Wingstop freebie that led to T-Mobile and Wingstop ending the offer early. For those that prefer beef, there’s always the classic cheeseburger, too.
Cracker Barrel, which is way more of a sit-down restaurant than Wingstop for sure, has a variety of different items to choose from. You may be more familiar with their breakfast items, but their lunch and dinner menu is also quite decent. Now, it’s their turn to get bombarded with customers via T-Mobile Tuesdays.
T-Mobile will begin offering a nice deal at Cracker Barrel through its T-Mobile Tuesdays rewards program this week. The offer consists of one complimentary menu item from a choice of two options: either the Crispy Tender Dippers or the Barrel Cheeseburger. Customers redeeming the offer will select one of these two items—free chicken tenders or a free burger.
Redemption of this offer is subject to several conditions. First, you need to make a $10 minimum purchase—the tenders or the burger are on top of an order you’ve already made, so you can’t just walk into a restaurant and ask for free food.
Second, the customer must be enrolled in Cracker Barrel’s loyalty program, known as Cracker Barrel Rewards. You can enroll now on the Cracker Barrel website.
Third, and quite annoyingly, the offer is explicitly limited to dine-in orders only, and cannot be used for carry-out, delivery, or online orders—you’ll have to walk into the restaurant to claim your free perk.
As we mentioned, the last time T-Mobile tried offering free chicken tenders, it didn’t end too well. Hopefully, Cracker Barrel can actually handle the heat better than Wingstop. Of course, requiring a purchase is naturally going to reduce the number of redemptions this time around.
The good news is, presumably, these items are a full meal, not just an entree. Both the “Crispy Tender Dippers” and the “Barrel Cheeseburger” typically come with sides and a drink at Cracker Barrel, so hopefully the freebie will too. The image preview in the T-Life app also suggests this.
To use this perk, you’ll need to claim it within the T-Life app on Tuesday, April 8th. Users must save the offer within the app and then present it to restaurant staff when dining in at a Cracker Barrel location. Provided the minimum $10 purchase requirement is met and the customer is a Cracker Barrel Rewards member, they can then receive their chosen free item (Crispy Tender Dippers or Barrel Cheeseburger).
If you have a Cracker Barrel location nearby, make sure to claim the perk as soon as it pops up and drive to get your food.
