How to get free fries from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and other restaurants on National French Fry Day

Talia Lakritz/INSIDER

  • McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and other chains are offering up free french fries on July 13.
  • Most of the fry deals require that you download the chains’ apps, and in some cases make another purchase.
  • Pushing customers towards app-based rewards programs has become the norm across fast food.

National French Fry Day is Wednesday, July 13, and some major chains are offering deals for the holiday.

Major chains including McDonald’s and Wendy’s are using the french fry offer as a way to push more customers towards their mobile apps. Rewards programs have become nearly essential for fast food chains to attract and keep customers. These programs have proven to be hugely advantageous for chains as they incentivize return visits and give companies valuable customer data. You’ll have to join rewards programs to receive many of the deals listed here. 

Here are the deals, and how to get them:
