Chick-fil-A: Calendar Card

January 24, 2014 by Tracy

Chick-fil-A: Calendar Card

Chick-fil-A: Calendar Card Last year, our family purchased a Chick-fil-A calendar for $6 and then received another calendar as a Christmas gift from a neighbor.

As Paul and I carried our cards and used them each month when we visited Chick-fil-A, we found the cards a great addition for our family.

This year, we purchased 4 calendars at $6 each which will save us all year long. When we combine a FREE family activity using our current membership with our Chick-fil-A calendar card freebies, we stretch our dollars and extend our family activity into a meal or snack.

For the details, each calendar card, located inside a plastic packet on the front page of each calendar, needs to be activated. Since we have 8-10 different e-mail accounts, we did not have an issue using a different e-mail address for each card.

Also, the monthly freebie is only good from the start of that month until the end of that month. So, the January offer of a FREE medium bowl of soup is valid from January 1 – 31, 2014.

We tried the chicken tortilla soup and found it a bit spicy. Now to clarify, our family does not care for fiery dishes, and the Chick-fil-A advertisements warn that it has a kick. We took a risk and tried it. It was good, but we needed part of a sandwich to squelch the sting. Yes, we are wimps when it comes to spice, but we make a mean mild chili. 😉

When we use the other 3 cards this month, we will opt for the Hearty Breast of Chicken soup as it will probably be more to our liking. Thankfully, most of the offers give customers a choice. The list of offers for the Chick-fil-A calendar card is as follows:

2014 Chick-fil-A Calendar Card Offers

        • January: Medium bowl of soup
        • February: Large waffle potato fries
        • March: Fan favorite classic entrée
        • April: Large Coca-Cola soft drink of your choice
        • May: Entrée salad of your choice
        • June: Mystery offer
        • July: Small hand-spun milkshake
        • August: Large Coca-Cola soft drink of your choice
        • September: Any breakfast entrée, plus large Coca-Cola soft drink of your choice
        • October: Large Coca-Cola soft drink of your choice
        • November: Mystery offer
        • December: Spicy chicken sandwich

This year, there are some different options. For example, the March fan favorite is via a vote. When registering each card, the cardholder gets one vote. At the time I voted, the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich was winning among 8-piece nuggets and 3-piece chicken strips.

Side Note: Ordering a 3-piece chicken strip entrée with 2 buttered and toasted buns will net you 2 Chick-fil-A sandwiches at about half the price. 😉

Another new option is the mystery offers. As Chick-fil-A communicates via the e-mail address provided at the time of registration, they will probably send information about that offer closer to that month.

For the FREE Coca-Cola drinks, most Chick-fil-A’s will give you whatever drink you want, even a sweet tea. 😉 If you prefer to swap out your offer for another, just ask. Some stores allow it while others do not.

As our family loves the family events at our local Chick-fil-A locations which include crafts, puppets, balloons, food, and games, we get much use out of our Chick-fil-A calendar cards. If you have your Chick-fil-A calendar card, be sure to register it, and then get your FREE bowl of soup on or before January 31, 2014. Happy savings!

Question: Have you tried the Chick-fil-A calendar card?

Papa John’s: Super Bowl XLVII Coin Toss Experience

Tomorrow’s Super Bowl is a bittersweet time. One downside is having to wait eight more months for next season, but an upside is the wins and losses are in the past with spring on the way. Whether you are a football fan or not, you can win this Super Bowl season.

Papa John’s Pizza has returned the Coin Toss Experience. With a twist this year, each person votes heads or tails. All those who choose correctly by 11:59 p.m. tonight, February 2, 2013, will receive a promotion code for a free large 1-topping pizza.

Voting is limited to one per person, age 13 and older. Winners need to redeem the code at papajohns.com. All winners will received their promotion code via email on Monday, February 4, 2013.

As Paul and I are both eligible, we chose opposites. So, our family will receive a free large one-topping pizza. If you are into taking chances, then stack the deck and have the adults choose the same option. If you win, then your household will receive multiple pizzas. 🙂

In winding down the football season, I plan to watch the Ravens and 49ers in the final showdown this season. Some commercials are promising codes for free Pepsi Next, 20 oz. Coke, and Taco Bell’s free Churro coupon.

Taking a few moments to choose between heads or tails might end up giving your family an inexpensive dinner. In stretching your dollars, you still have today to get in your vote. Don’t delay. In using time wisely, make a choice and then watch the game tomorrow night for the results. Enjoy the game!

Question: For which team are you pulling? (Teams are Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers.)
