I'll confirm the app issue as well. I was about to place an order from home before driving out, I added my item to the cart was about to checkout, but then remembered I had an offer. After adding the offer, checkout now shows online ordering not available message. It feels pretty intentional and this happened outside peak time when I know this Wendy's wasn't that busy. I closed the app and proceeded to order from McD's. laugh out loud

Wendy's has really gone downhill in the past few years and risks losing loyal fans with their shitty app and proposed surge pricing.

Thanks for sharing this! So I guess that it's not a "conspiracy theory" after all! Funny (and kinda dumb) how some people have this overwhelming need to contradict others, just because they haven't experienced the same exact things and insist that they know better! BTW....They've confirmed that they won't be playing the (originally proposed) pricing games. Instead, they'll just cripple the app at certain times, so that their customers will need to pay full price. How kind of them to alienate their dedicated customers like this (under the guise of "technical problems")!😒

There is Friday free fries. Can you gat a 1.00 hamburter and free fries?

Yes....but you need to place two separate orders, add another item (if that's a requirement) to the "free" deal, and then pray that the app is working properly at that particular time! I'd strongly suggest that you ditch the drive-thru for this and go to the counter.

That shouldn't occur...but then again, it's Wendy's world! You're just a tiny little fish trying to survive in it!

Use the ever reliable Wendy's app, not the website.

You're probably on cooldown. The $1 offer should reappear later.

FYI, I got both offers in the previous 2 rounds, but I did them on different days. Last round, I did the $2 for lunch, then the $1 for dinner a couple days later.

"Cooldown"?? Let's call it "manipulation mode" instead!

thanks!

wendy's only allow you to submit 1 order at a time? it doesn't let me place another order until after my order was picked up.

If you're paying at the counter, there's no downtime when placing orders. Using the drive-thru adds an extra layer of annoyance with Wendy's! They can't seem to get the concept of allowing customers to place multiple orders and then picking them up together at the drive-thru!
They should cut the salaries in half for the overpaid morons in their app development/IT dept. and redistribute it to the real workers at their restaurants!!

Wendy's has made it known they will be going to a flex-time model to even out their customer flow. That is, you will pay more during busy times. Not directly related to this deal, but I'm less likely than ever to install their app or even choose them for my hamburger fix.
I've always liked their food, except in the slow hours, when I've always found it to be noticeaby less fresh and less tasty than their competition. Maybe their new model will rectify that!

With this coupon, there will be a 'surge of customers.

Order one for pick up and then order another at the counter.

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.

Yeah....they get to eliminate the extra workers at the restaurants, but pay outrageously high salaries to these idiots in their app development/IT dept. so that they can (professionally) screw things up and/or concoct creative new ways to alienate customers (like intentionally crippling the app at certain times, so as to force customers to pay full price!).
BTW....I discussed this app debacle with a senior GM at a local Wendy's, and he agreed that they're likely playing games with the app (at certain times). He said that he would discuss it with the DM because customers (not just myself) are pissed off. The problem is that it's not always an easy option to go elsewhere (especially in rural areas). It's convenient for some here to advise others to choose another option ("you don't like it, go somewhere else").That can often be easier said than done!

No "new model". That's old news (fortunately!).They ditched it. Not to worry, though! Some overpaid idiot (who typically sleeps at their desk) will come up with some other genius idea to facilitate the further alienation of their customers!

I'd suggest that you just go to the counter and place two separate orders (using the two offers individually).There's no need to place an online order and then a counter order (as someone here had suggested).That just complicates things unnecessarily (and you might lose one of the offers in the process). Less is more when it comes to using the (dysfunctional) Wendy's app.

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 agree with you I went to Wendy's to do the deal for the single hamburger and I had nothing but problems with logging in or trying to use it. I had to drive away from Wendy's delete the app reinstall it and somehow it finally worked but it was crazy that I had to leave the parking lot to do it. It almost made me feel like they block it or don't let it work properly when you're in the parking lot going to order. Very strange
