Wendy's perpetual hamburger

Look at the back of a Wendy's reciept. "Tell us about your visit...."

Take the survey and get the code. Put the code on your receipt and get a regular burger and another receipt. Put the same code on the second receipt and get another burger. Repeat.

Get a new code occasionally. It's a capital letter followed by four digits. Guess you could make one up.

I usually buy fries too.

Of course, the only drawback to this is that you are eating a Wendy's hamburger.

This is limited to once per 30 days which you would know if you attempted to complete another survey within 30 days from the same phone or computer. You should not be reusing the same code without completing the survey again, especially to avoid the 30 day rule. People who abuse this offer will kill it eventually.

The stupidity of Marketing Managers is bottomless!

Whatever they can create, we can work around. If they think giving us free hamburgers is a good idea, I am totally in agreement.

I always take along my own canned Pepsi and individual snack chip bags from Costco multipacks. Keeps the total outlay to less than $.50 and the Wendy's revenue at zero.

Keep it up, Marketeers!

I think I went to college with you.

You were they guy who would order a Pizza, and twenty minutes later, summon and keep all the elevators at the top floor of the dorm building so that when the Domino's guy showed up, he would either have to wait or climb up fifteen storeys to deliver within the "30 minutes or it's free!" timeframe. Then with three minutes to go, you would begin releasing each elevator at one minute intervals, pressing the buttons for each floor, before sending it on its way.

Compared to unnecessary Medicaid procedures, Goldman Sachs owning the NY Fed, pious and crooked politicians, etc.....a burger seems pretty innocent (but still a little sinful).

Unless you're totally lying on the survey form, then the marketers in aggregate are gaining a lot of info for the cheap net price of a single burger. Not that stupid after all

Cheers.

The Arby's one isn't limited to one every 30 days according to my receipt.

Wendy's used to give Frosty Shakes for free if you did the survey. I think BK also has a similar thing as well while giving out Whoppers for free.

Been doing this with BK recently... and we get miles now (with rewards network )

I think someone was training a couple days ago and handed back the receipt with the code on it... do they actually track the codes (and could it be used again) or is it marketing/quality control?

Now I wouldn't feel as guilty using it again as I've done those surveys before and forgotten to bring it back in the required timeframe, plus they make you purchase a fry & drink (value so .99 ea)

No need to call for the BK survey, generate a code and write it on the back of your receipt here: http://www.thenorthfaceguru.com/bkcoupon/ Use the saved time on FT instead.
