To Celebrate March Madness, Wendy's Is Giving Away Free Burgers and Cookies

You don't need to win big in your March Madness bracket to afford an extra treat at Wendy's this month. As Thrillist reports, the fast food chain is giving away free burgers and cookies with any purchase during NCAA tournament season.

Wendy's announces new specials almost every month, and as the official burger sponsor of the NCAA, they weren't about to pass up the opportunity to offer a deal for March Madness. To claim your complimentary snack, download the free Wendy's app for Android or iOS, then head to the "Account" page and then "Offers." From there you can see all the specials Wendy's is currently offering, including a deal that gets you a free Dave's Single burger or a free cookie with any item you order. Deals for a buy-one-get-one-free burger and chicken sandwich and $2 off a salad are also in effect at Wendy's this month.

The burger deal ends April 9 and the cookie deal is good through March 26. But don't stop checking the Wendy's app after taking advantage of the current special: Wendy's promises to update it with new offers as the tournament continues. And if you're looking for more ways to embrace March Madness season, you can always try memorizing the stories behind every team's mascot before the final game.
