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.
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

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.
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
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.

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).
instead, it's gold!
the original, 11/21/2024 email:
Every visit counts towards reaching $25, plus we're giving you a $5 head start to get there.
And every time you reach $25, you'll get $5 off your next order.
Online only.
