Here’s How To Get Free Wendy’s Items In September 2025

Do you ever get sick of dining hall offerings and yearn for a taste of your comfort fast food item? Most cravings can be soothed with a takeout order, available with the click of a button. But the fact is, most college students are restricted to a tight budget, so going through the drive-thru or ordering in is not always possible — no matter how much you want it to be. That said, Wendy’s is coming to the rescue for the month of September: For a limited time, the brand is offering free items and promotions with purchases that can make your day (or night, or whole weekend) without breaking the bank. 

Ringing in the transition to fall, Wendy’s is offering “fall freebie” promotions throughout the rest of September. Two promotions are available through the Wendy’s app, and another is in partnership with the fan-favorite-food delivery app, DoorDash. The Wendy’s fall promotions run from the first day of fall, Sept. 22, through Sept. 28, on select days. 

Promotions are a great way for college students to save a little cash and eat a hearty meal. However, these free Wendy’s promotions will only run for a very short amount of time, so get them while they last!

It’s Getting Chilly — So Grab a Free Chili

On Sept. 22, you will be able to celebrate the first official day of fall with a free small Wendy’s chili. This autumnal delicacy can be yours with a purchase of $5 or more. To secure this offer, just download the Wendy’s app and create an account. From there, you can use the digital coupon in store or on a mobile order. This freebie will only be available at participating U.S. stores within the store’s operating hours. 

BOGO Burgers Is Your Best Friend

A partnership with DoorDash is every college student’s dream (right?). Wendy’s is offering a BOGO deal on Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers ordered through DoorDash every Saturday and Sunday for the rest of September. If you purchase a JBC on your Wendy’s DoorDash order, you will get a free one to tag along!

FREE Falling With Zero Dollar Fees

A late night order can fill you with guilt when you see that delivery fee — it makes the food taste more expensive than delicious. Have no fear; Wendy’s is offering a $0 delivery fee every Saturday for the rest of September when you order from the Wendy’s app.
