Free Food If You Download Chick-fil-A One App
Chick-fil-A is offering users of its new "Chick-fil-A One" mobile app a free breakfast reward this month.
The free breakfast reward is the fast-food chain's way of thanking customers for making the new app one of the top downloaded apps following its June launch and to also help ease customers into the "back to school" season.
Through September 10, Chick-fil-A customers who already have a Chick-fil-A One account, or who download the new app and create a new account will receive a free breakfast item.
Options available as free breakfast items are Chicken Biscuit, three-count Chick-n-Minis or Chick-fil-A's new grilled chicken breakfast sandwich, the Egg White Grill. Guests will have until September 30 to redeem the offer.
Atlanta-based privately-held Chick-fil-A noted that its new app was downloaded more than two million times in the first three days following its launch in June.
The app was ranked as the no. 1 free app in the Apple App Store during that time, ahead of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. As of July 2, Chick-fil-A One had reached more than five million downloads.
Michael Lage, senior manager of digital experience for Chick-fil-A said, "Chick-fil-A One is all about making our customers' experience even faster, more convenient and more personal than ever before. The best part is that through Chick-fil-A One, we're able to say 'thank you' by surprising guests with their choice of a free breakfast when they're in a hurry, and they can choose from one of our classic menu favorites like a Chicken Biscuit, or try something new on us."
The mobile app will allow busy customers to get some time back in their day, by allowing them to customize and place a mobile order before arriving at the restaurant, then bypass the line inside the restaurant to pick up the order.
Starting this month, Chick-fil-A is offering customers some new ways to pay electronically. Customers may wirelessly tap and pay from their phones to use Apple Pay, Android Pay or Samsung Pay, independent of the Chick-fil-A One app. Within the app, Apple Pay and Android Pay can be used to add funds to a Chick-fil-A One Card.(dpa)
