Carl's Jr. Cali XL BOGO is a targeted Rewards offer with different prices showing up by account, including free, $1, $2, and $3 versions. The burger itself is huge, with roughly 7 ounces of meat per sandwich and patties just under a quarter pound each, and it can stack with gift card discounts. Flavor depends on the build, with extra classic sauce or grilled onions helping a lot. The main caveat is the uneven offer availability and pricing, so the exact value depends on what appears in your app.

  • SoCal Carl's Jr. Rewards members who want a lunchtime BOGO on the Cali XL because commenters in SoCal reported getting 2 Cali XL burgers for about $5.99 plus tax (with some seeing BOGO free or BOGO $3/$1 depending on the account).

  • People who already have a Carl's Jr. gift card or plan to use one because one commenter said the deal was especially helpful when used with a recently received Carl's Jr. gift card (and another stacked a 35% gift card discount).

  • Hungry burger customizers who like to tweak toppings because commenters said adding extra classic sauce and an extra sauce made it "delightful," and another said ordering extra grilled onions (free) made the burger more flavorful.

  • Carl's Jr. shoppers who only have Hardee's nearby because commenters said the promo didn't match at Hardee's (they'd have to pay $1 for the "free" one, and they weren't sure Hardee's Tuesday BOGO tenders were still running).

  • Portland, Oregon diners hoping for a strong discount because one commenter said their offer was only BOGO $1 Famous Stars and that Appy Hour deals had worsened over time (prices up and discount down to 25%), making the promos less useful.

  • People who are sensitive to seasoning because at least one commenter found their Cali XL bland/under-seasoned (including the cheese on the paper), even though they still called the deal price "primo."

Are you sure it's the Cali XL? You, OP, and myself all appear to be CA. I have BOGO $1 but for the Famous Star.
Yes, I'm sure. Restart the app and it should show up. I also have the BOGO $1 for the Famous Star.

I'm in So Cal and have the offer. Apparently, some have it, others don't. Sorry guys. My offer looks like this. I updated the original post to YMMV.

Unfortunately, only Hardees is in my area, not Carl's Jr so I'm unsure if this promo applies to Hardees as well.

It does not. Hardee's would have you pay $1 for the free one. Their only good deal to date is their BOGO Chicken Tenders on Tuesday and I am not even sure if they are still running that.

Thanks for the feedback. That's what I figured.

Just BOGO $1 Famous Stars in Portland, Oregon. And every time I see the Appy hour offers, it makes me sad, since it started out an absolute deal but then they both increased the prices and chopped it from 50% off to 25% off, rendering it pretty useless.

I didn't see it at first, but after I closed and re-opened the app, it was there in the Rewards dashboard. Mine is BOGO $1, but that's probably because I'm in California. Thanks OP!
It's targeted with varying offers, rather than location specific. I also live in CA. For me it's BOGO, like OP. I may have been targeted because I have ordered Cali XL's in the past, but hadn't recently. I took the offer today, stacking with the 35% gift card discount, and substituting American for swiss. It hit the spot, after a full day of hiking.

Ditto. I have never orded this burger nor anything from Carls in six or more months. But maybe next week we will give it a go. The wife loves the greasy zucchini.

These are massive, I think it's like 2 quarter pound patties. It was okay but my had almost no salt on it so everything was pretty bland. That is probably just my order though as their burgers usually have more flavorful. Even the cheese on the paper was pretty bland. If it had more seasoning it would be really good. It's a pretty crazy deal though, 6 dollars for a burger that size, and to get 2 for that price is primo.
