Deal Details
As promised (e.g. in Arby's emails), 5 surprise holiday deals ("Season of Feasting") are dropping today 12/16/2024; they run through 12/29/2024:

1) Buy one side, get one free
2) $1 4pc Mozzarella Sticks with $5+ purchase.
3) $3 Off $15+
4) Free Sandwich With $10+ Purchase
5) Free Any Size Fry With $5+ Purchase

Note that for #2, #4, and #5: if recent past behavior is any indication, the $5 or $10 threshold INCLUDES the price of the item being granted for free. So if buying a $7 sandwich that you wish to receive free, you only need to spend an additional $3.

On the subject of free sandwiches: if you used the "BOGO-GO Sandwich" deal (which ran 12/9/2024 - 12/15/2024), but haven't claimed the 2nd sandwich yet, pay attention to expiration dates! I redeemed the 1st part of the offer on 12/15, and had the 2nd part, a Free Sandwich With $10+ Purchase, turn up in my account soon after.

For me, this expires 12/29/2024, while the "Season of Feasting" holiday form expires 12/22/2024. You also might have two identically named "Free Sandwich With Purchase" deals in your account, expiring on different days! It makes sense to use the FIRST expiring one FIRST; fortunately, the Arby's webpage tells you the expiration dates from both the Deals list and the order Cart. Hopefully, the Arby's app functions the same way.

Oh, and try not to lose track of preexisting YMMV offers amongst the welcome clutter. (For me, it's a $3 Beef and Cheddar sandwich, expiring 12/24/2024.)

2) $1 4pc Mozzarella Sticks with $5+ purchase.
3) $3 Off $15+
4) Free Sandwich With $10+ Purchase
5) Free Any Size Fry With $5+ Purchase
I am going to do a quick analysis on all the deals above.
Buy one get one side, make sure that both sides are the same price because the application or online WILL choose to charge you on the most expensive item.
$1 4 pc mozzarella sticks. See if the deal is even worth it. If the 4 pc mozzarella sticks price is worth even more than half of the $5 purchase requirement, it is worth it. This would mean the 4 pc mozzarella sticks should be at least more than $2.50 to turn this into a 2 for $5 deal.
$3 off $15 is just a scam period.
Free sandwich with $10 purchase is also a scam because no sandwich on the menu is exactly $5 and so you will never get a 2 for $10 deal.
Free any size fry for $5 purchase. Again, look to see the cost of a large fry to the $5 price. If it is less than $2.50, it is not a good deal. If it is $2.50, you could be getting a 2 for $5 or if the price of the large fry is more, a better deal than a 2 for $5. Always remember to use the $5 as a range (maximum to spend). And if possible, try to get the second item to hit that and if you can, still make the price be under the regular price of the free item.

Confirmed the free sandwich counts toward the $10

I added a $9.19 sandwich and a $1.19 kids apple juice (the cheapest thing on the online menu) and total was $1.19

These do have minimum purchase requirements, however, I have learned that the pre-discount price on the "free" item counts toward the threshold. So for instance, the cost of the free fries counts toward the required purchase for the deal. Or any sandwich priced over $8 plus a slider costs me $1.99 in my cart.

Yeah, Arby's application is something else. I actually found out that the way the menu is and the application, the best deal is what lollerskates had bought. It would be best to get the Half Pound Beed N' Cheddar for $8.39 in my area and then the cheapest item on the menu, in my case, the 2nd cheapest $1.79 Honest Apple Juice from the kids menu. The first cheapest is those apple sauces for kids with the weird looking pouches which I cannot even open.

good question. the ultimate end date is unclear, depending on what you read:

1) Expiration Date field of the Deals themselves = 12/22/2024
2) Fine print within the Deals (which i didn't include in my post for space reasons, as there were 5 of them) = 12/29/2024
3) Main arbys.com webpage = "14 Days Of Gifts / What can we say, Arby's gets soft around the holidays. Rewards members get 5 new deals on classics through 12/28"

IF we include the "BOGO-GO sandwich" deal and ITS start date of 12/9/2024 as part of the "Gifts", that'd be 14 days ending 12/22/2024, and thus no replenishment.

i guess to be safe, we wanna redeem all of these offers by the end of 12/22, taking the printed date at face value. and then hope for a reload through 12/29 or 12/28.

Look up your application and see if you have the Honest Apple Juice on the kids meal menu. That is less than a price of a slider.

I am wondering if this works on BOGO deals as well. I would assume that it probably would charge the most expensive item...
If Arby's charges the cheaper of the two items, then either something is wrong with the Arby's application or they do that intentionally because no other application offers the cheaper of the items. Even for the Free Sandwich with any purchase $10 minimum, I mean that is too good of a deal to get the Half Pound and the drink.
At my location though, the drink is priced up to $1.79 and the sandwich is $8.39

I've been using the Arby's app a lot the last couple months. The more you use it the more random YMMV deals you get.
The current BOGO deal works like for example : Buy 1 french dip at $6 the second one is $6 so total is $12 and the minimum $10 threshold is met and your final price is $6 at checkout. You do not need to pad with other cheap items to hit $10 threshold, the second sandwich counts.
In addition to my phone app account I have a second account on my laptop. It allowed me to use the same phone number even though my phone already has it's own separate app account. It has given me different random deals for each account the last month like a random $3 french dip. However the previous BOGO GO promotion was offered on both accounts. In addition it added another BOGO for this promotion. So that is 6 BOGO I have had in 2 weeks on 2 accounts.
And my phone app just added another $5 off for spending $25 over time. The second time it has given me this $5 off any order, no minimum. It says use up to 2 times, last time it was one time.

okay, the main page has been revised to read "through 12/29". them editing this at all, and putting 12/29 versus 12/22, does support a full, 2nd week. whether it'll be the same 5 deals as the 1st week, i cannot say for sure. but all 5 deals already having "12/29" in their fine print supports this.

it reminds me a bit of mcdonald's recent multi-week 10-piece chicken mcnuggets and double cheeseburger deals: the banner would tell you the overall end date, but the deal as implemented would last 7 days (i.e. expire 6 days after the end of its starting date).

nice catch! i saw that offer appear in my account sometime by 12/9/2024, and it's expiring 1/1/2025. but i apparently prioritized the faulty fine print of "$5 off an order of $25", and didn't grasp what the main terms were saying. arby's 12/3/2024 and 11/21/2024 emails to me spelled it out quite clearly, but i never even read the damned things! Embarrassment so i assumed that the deal was just a crappy 20% off with a HIGH purchase requirement. Frown

instead, it's gold! Big Grin

You have to check the deals before going through with them. They are not as they are intended like in other apps. It is like Arby's gives you more value.

There is a $3 off $15 in my offers and I decided to order the cheapest item. It still wanted me to spend $13 and some change on that order.
