Speaking of games!....This is a potentially serious issue! What they're doing is resorting to intentionally debilitating the app/website at certain times, so that you can't place an online order and use any of the offers! I can't attest to this occurring nationally, but there have been several complaints here on SD about the app/website being dysfunctional (or not functional) at times. I'm in the NYC area, and this seems to occur frequently in the early evening (peak time for ordering)! The offers disappear completely, and there's a message stating that online ordering isn't working! It's become routine (at least in my area), and I've confirmed it with several others at the restaurant (who are encountering the same problem). You can reinstall the app to no avail (I've tried it numerous times). When you attempt to use it again, you'll get another error message. You're just wasting your time spinning around in circles! Then, miraculously, an hour or two later, everything goes right back to normal (consistently)! I'm convinced that they're playing games! In a sense, this is actually another version of "surge pricing" (or whatever you choose to call it)! Once you're on the way or at the location, you'll be victimized by their game and be forced to pay full price! Most will be passive and deal with it (and that's exactly what they're depending upon). I'd strongly urge as many of you as possible to go elsewhere if you have a non-functioning app/website! If enough people do this, perhaps they'll stop playing this game. If you call them, they'll (of course) claim that it's a technical glitch, so that's just a waste of time! Perhaps it's only affecting certain areas, but the only way to combat this is to boycott Wendy's when they debilitate the app/website! If this is intentional (and it very likely is), then it's truly underhanded, and they deserve to lose business as a result....lots of business!

i dont think it's intentional, but their server is just absolute unreliable trash. They want everyone using mobile, so they can eliminate the "extra" employee at the register, so when the app is down, they are losing orders.

As for the offers, if you load your offer into your account beforehand, there's a good chance it will be available for purchase at the register, even if mobile ordering is down.

3rd time's a charm? I redeemed both previous sets, and I'm probably going to redeem these, too. So much Wendy's! Hahaha!

The other offer that shows up periodically is 2 Spicy Chicken sandwiches for $6. This is a great deal, considering that the regular price for just one is > $7 here.
The 2 for $6 deal is currently available on the app (until 3/10). It works for the regular or spicy chicken sandwich or either type of 10 piece nuggets.

The same BS is occurring right now in my area (NYC)!
The infamous app debilitation syndrome!....at 5:35 PM (how convenient)!
No one is going to convince me that this nonsense isn't intentional! Same BS/three days in a row now (and numerous times previously)! The app is completely crippled and there's no online ordering option on the website!

That's a good suggestion, and it might even work (as long as you remember to do it before they cripple the app). The point is that they shouldn't be playing these games! The recent suggestion about "surge/dynamic pricing" (which they quickly walked back) is a clear indication that they're looking at manipulation techniques. Crippling the app intentionally shouldn't surprise anyone. It's OK to be skeptical (especially these days)!
I believe that your experience is true, but I'm more likely to believe that your location and the times in which you make your order has more to do with the downtimes vs some malicious game they're playing. NYC during peak ordering times is probably a lot more busy than many other places. To me it sounds more like they just can't handle the volume of orders. Otherwise, we'd be hearing more of these same issues in more locations.

I think the suggestion of saving the QR code is good.

Yes, you are correct this offer goes on until 04/10 as you mentioned.

The 2 times I've used the Wendy's app, I showed up at the Wendy's and they can't find my order…… then it's 5 minutes of, "did you pick the Wendy's?" Yes, I did

No clue why they have so much trouble finding my order. I've used the McDonald's app nearly 100 times and never had an issue
Almost every time, it's because I selected the wrong location.

An interesting theory, but all other apps for all other places in my (congested) area are just fine. Regardless of the time. Almost never an issue elsewhere. So, would you theorize that only Wendy's can't handle the onslaught at peak times in NYC? If that's true, it's absolutely pathetic that ONLY the Wendy's app can't handle it! I'll stick with it being intentionally sabotaged to force customers to pay full price at high volume times! "Surge pricing" disguised as a technical glitch!
I tried to save the QR code earlier, but the app had already gone into crash mode!....so I used the BK app/offers without any problems whatsoever (and they're consistently busier than Wendy's here).
BTW....a miracle just occurred! The Wendy's app is no longer in crash mode (now that it's approx. 2 hours later, and they're not as busy)! Same crap the last 2 days and multiple times previously. Hmmm?🤔

I had a Dave's Double today and it was delicious. I often end up at McDonald's with my kids but the food has just sucked these past few years.

Yes, that's exactly my theory. But let's say your assumption is correct. What benefit does Wendy's have to "play games"? The short term gain of people overpaying? People are price sensitive with fast food. Especially with you living in NYC where there are plenty of options, they would only lose customers. How many times does a person need to pay full price at Wendy's before they stop going there? Sorry, but that's way less probable to me than them simply not being able to handle the sheer volume of orders.

Anecdotally, I've been eating at Wendy's way more since they started having the $1/$2 Dave's Singles and Doubles. I suspect they're trying to get me try out their food and get me hooked.

But you're entitled to your opinion too.

edit: why are you still eating there if they're "playing games"? Wouldn't it be easier to just eat somewhere else? I know I would if that's what I really believed.

I don't agree with their surge pricing BS, but for $2 the double is a good sandwich. Ate one on the way home from work the other day.

I think it's just a coincidence, I'm with others that don't have issues ordering at busy times. The only issue I ever have is with WiFi/cellular, but usually disabled WiFi temporarily fixes it (or turning off my VPN/iCloud Relay).

Just an FYI, unlike BK or MCD, you can use multiple offers in one day. I order the doubles for pick up. Then order a singles at the drive thru. I get two big burgers for just $3. Been eating these all week. And people say fast food is getting expensive. Hog wash. You're just not doing it right.

They didn't "walk back" the "surge pricing", that was misreported by many news outlets. The CEO said "Beginning as early as 2025, we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and day-part offerings."

Wendy's executives have since clarified that its dynamic pricing model would not increase prices for customers, saying in a news release the CEOs comments were "misconstrued." Wendy's said that while price adjustments could happen in both directions, the upper limit would remain the current price.

It sounds more likely that they may offer "happy hour" deals similar to what Arby's used to do with the sliders, or Taco Bell did with their drinks.

Wendy's has been right around the same as the other majors. In my area:
* a Big Mac is $6.59 ($12.29 for a combo!!!)
* a Whopper is $7.99 $10.69 small combo)
* a Wendy's single is $6.59 ($11.19 combo)

A Wendy's single is priced just as cheap as a Big Mac, and the combo is a buck cheaper than McD's If you're buying fast food at regular prices, Wendy's is fairly priced, especially as their burger is better quality.
I think the metric of comparsion ought to be comparing the equivalent of a Double Quarter Pounder at each (because the double is almost always a much better deal than a single).

So a DQPC vs Double Whopper vs. Dave's Double

I can check the app fine at home. Near the Wendy's doesn't work. Get home, works again. I don't know if it's just time based, but for me it seems to be location based as well. Very shady.
