Not bad.

Edit: Checked in app and I have a Bogo sandwich. Not sure if it is tied to this chain.

I am starting to think the bogo is a variation off of the free sandwich with any purchase. It is lunch time and that is the only offer that would make sense after participating in the 2nd giveaway.
Edit: I may participate and make it seem like I have the $10 purchase deal.

Arby's does not need to know this.

this "mediocre offer" allows you to spend $2 and get an $8 sandwich for free. apparently, math is not your strong suit. "1% of people" is a nonsensical figure pulled from orifices unknown.

Anyone sign up for text offer? Popup on Main Arby website says free any sandwich with $10 purchase if sign up for text messages never got the offer.

huh? they're 2 separate offers. both should be appearing on the website, as you did redeem the 1st and 2 Valentine's Day offers, per your prior posts.

Unfortunately, no. I have a Free Classic Roast Beef Sandwich with Purchase (minimum $10). I have the BOGO one that just appeared today (also the day this other deal was supposed to appear for 3rd giveaway) and I also have $5 off $20+.

Apparently, posting deals is not your strong suit. Normally, deals that aren't trash have positive numbers 😉

I disagree. This site has a community where individuals act on emotion rather than logic. Go to all ratings and look at the deals there compared to the ones on the most viewed and most recent.

If you had a wallet with money to spend across all deals that were rated good vs. bad; you would find that you would be going over your budget.

In short terms, most of the good deals are when you filter by all ratings. No idea why they are voted down when bogos and free items with any purchase have the best value.

My thought....This deal (Week 3, Free sandwich with purchase) would be "OK" as a stand alone. I wouldn't go out of my way to take advantage, but if I needed to eat out, it might (and HAS) sway me to choose Arbys.
But as a CHAINED offer to other lesser deals...no way!, that negates all the savings. I'll admit, I did hit the first weeks deal to "ante in". I was able to get a gyro and got 5 free tenders, so two days lunch. but the 25% off Week 2 turned me off, and I'm glad I didn't keep going.
Even if it culminates in a completely free sandwich after 3 or 4 weeks, its just not worth it. i don't want to be forced to not only eat out, but to choose Arbys, just to keep the chain going.
Arby's (and other chains) if you're listening, customers don't want this! We know your counting on us forgetting to go or not being able to go for even one week, so the chain breaks and we can never capitalize on the "good" deal.

Do you know what this is about? It is not an offer one can redeem. I thought it would discount if I added both items in a bag. Weird

they're talking about the "Buy One Sandwich, Get One Free" offer, expiring 3/2/2025. that thing actually states in its description that it's for a celebration of Potato Cakes' return.

i'd say it's far better than okay, because you can very well get a $7 sandwich free with $3 purchase, or an $8 sandwich free with $2 purchase, etc. that's better than B1G1F; it's more like B1G2.33F, or B1G4F!

this is why i made a point to have the big, bolded, exclamatory sentence about the $10 spending threshold in my first post of the thread.

one way to mitigate Week 2's mediocrity is to do what Asideofrighteousness did, and buy a small list price item like a fountain drink. you _should_ stay eligible for Week 3, and you don't shell out a lot of money.

a possible downside is gas prices relative to food savings; if your nearest arby's is far away (they're closing far too many!), the economics get worse. mine isn't exactly close, but it's right by a Burger King AND a Taco Bell, so i can synergize my trips a bit.

i personally went the opposite route of the cheap item, and bought 2 Roast Turkey Ranch & Bacon sandwiches, because the paper coupon flyer stopped including them, and i enjoy the sandwich. numerically, it wasn't slick, but it was a known commodity.

i hear you that it's tedious, but i'd say a couple things on that:
- at least the chain length was finite, small, and known in advance.
- the CUMULATIVE/AVERAGE savings matter more than the worst link in the chain! to recap:
1) Week #1 could be as much as 43 to 53% based on local prices, if you paired your items wisely. (local to me, your choice is 50.4%.)
2) Week #2 is 25%.
3) Week #3 can easily be 70 to 80%, if you go for a big-ticket sandwich, and don't splurge on your second item.

the average savings arithmetically there are 46% to 52%. and that math assumes that all 3 weeks had the same raw spending pre-discount. if you kept Week 2's spending low, and aim for a pricey sandwich in Week 3, we're now *over* that already nice range.
