Why is Wendy’s giving away freebies?

Wendy’s is serving up a tasty reward for basketball fans after Monday night’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game.

Because the first dunk happened during the national title matchup on April 6, the chain is now rolling out its “Free Dunks for America” offer on Tuesday, April 7.


The promotion was triggered by the first dunk in the NCAA® Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship Game, where the Michigan Wolverines defeated the Connecticut Huskies 69-63 to win their second men’s basketball championship in school history, as per a report by The Wendy's Company.

As the official Dunks partner of NCAA March Madness, Wendy’s tied the giveaway to one of the game’s most exciting moments.

The championship also featured players connected to Wendy’s NIL partnerships, including Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg, Elliot Cadeau, and Morez Johnson Jr., along with Connecticut’s Tarris Reed Jr, as per a report by USA Today.

The deal is available in-restaurant only and cannot be redeemed through digital orders, delivery, or the app. Most importantly, no purchase is necessary, making it a simple walk-in giveaway, as per a report by The Wendy's Company.

What are the offer rules?

Wendy’s says the promotion is limited to one free small fries and one small Frosty per person, while supplies last.

The offer is a la carte only, with no substitutions allowed, and it cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion. The company said the freebie is being offered at participating U.S. locations only. The one-day giveaway follows weeks of March Madness promotions, including Wendy’s Dunkstakes, where app users had chances to win cash prizes and other rewards, as per a report by The Wendy's Company.
