Know before you go: Activate in app · One 100-point bonus per member per Monday

Before You Order
- Open the actual coupon before traveling. Select your restaurant and check the qualifying items, minimum, expiry and permitted ordering channel. New accounts may not receive every reward immediately.
- Add every required item and apply the offer before paying. Review the discount, tax, fees and upgrades. Do not assume separate rewards stack.
- Use the correct date and eligibility. A Veterans Day meal does not last all week. A Friday coupon is not a daily offer.
- Separate pickup from redemption. Freddy’s cards must be collected November 11; Applebee’s $5 return card cannot be used the day it is issued.
Weekly Restaurant Deals FAQ
Is there free food without a purchase this week?
Yes, for eligible military guests in the November 11 section. General app deals below that section require a qualifying purchase. Read each restaurant’s participation and eligibility details.
Can military spouses use every Veterans Day offer?
No. Starbucks explicitly includes military spouses; eligibility differs at the other restaurants. Do not assume one restaurant’s rule applies elsewhere.
Do all these deals end November 15?
No. November 9–15 is this guide’s planning week. Each card lists its own dates; some recurring promotions have no published final date. Your issued coupon’s expiry controls.
Is this restaurant deals guide updated every week?
Yes. Bookmark this page for Freebie Mom’s weekly restaurant calendar. The headline and calendar show the current planning week; each offer still has its own dates and requirements.
Find more in the Free Food Deals hub and birthday freebies guide.
