When it comes to dining out most consumers are interested in saving money and getting a discount.
Restaurant reward programs are a prime way to save money, especially since it only takes a few minutes to download the restaurant app and check out the restaurant reward program before going out for a meal.
To make it as easy as possible for RewardsThatMatter.com readers to take advantage of restaurant rewards programs here's a look at what five popular restaurants rewards programs offer.
Rewards at Arby's can almost constitute a free meal.
The rewards with Arby's loyalty program start with signup as members get 25% off their next order after enrollment.
Members get any size fry, curly or crinkled, for $1, as well as new offers each month. Members also get a peek at new menu items before non members and a few surprises during the year.
When members buy a deluxe or big cheesy bacon burger they can get any size fountain drink for free.
If you haven't signed up for the BurgerFi rewards program it may be a great time as new members get a free regular fries, which is up to a $5 value. Once signed up, whether online or via the app, the offer is available 24 hours after signup and cannot be redeemed for cash.
The more you spend at BurgerFi the more you earn rewards, whether it's on the app, online or in the restaurant. Members earn $10 for every $100 spent, and $6 for every $50. The rewards can be used for any menu item.
Members also get a birthday treat each year — a free frozen custard shake as well as exclusive access to limited-time offers. There's even a 'half birthday' reward that gives members $5 off a $15 purchase.
Members who become 'Ultimate Fi-natics' (which means visiting at least 12 times a year) earn a special status – double points on Tuesday and will earn two points for every $1 spent.
In Royal Perks, Burger King's loyalty program, members can earn crowns and redeem them for rewards.
Royal Perks members earn points, called "crowns," for every $1 spent and members earn double crowns during their birthday month. Earn 10 crowns for every $1 spent on eligible transactions.
Additional benefits include access to exclusive offers and deals, a free daily upsize on an order of fries, fountain drinks, hash browns, or coffee.
