Shoppers line up for Trader Joe’s new lavender canvas tote
Shoppers are lining up to buy Trader Joe’s new large lavender canvas tote bags for $3.99 per tote.
Wendy’s offers freebies to members of its rewards program. The first item is a Wendy’s tote bag.
Starting Wednesday, May 13th, Wendy’s Rewards members will have a chance to win limited-edition Wendy’s merchandise every Wednesday at 3:00 PM ET or noon (PT) through June 3rd. The first giveaway was a Wendy’s tote bag, described on the company’s blog as “a stylish foldable tote featuring Wendy’s iconic Frosty mascot and vintage-inspired blue and white pinstripes.”
Reward drops will take place within the Wendy’s app. Prior to the giveaway, Wendy’s Rewards will send you a notification with a link to the entry page. We will give away a limited number of tote bags on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to get a free Wendy’s tote bag
To win a Wendy’s merchandise giveaway, there are a few steps you need to follow.
- Download the Wendy’s app and create a Wendy’s Rewards account.
- Opt in for push notifications, email, or SMS alerts to be notified of weekly drops in advance.
- Follow @wendys on social media for announcements and updates.
- Keep an eye out for notifications with a link to the entry page for a chance to win swag.
- Let’s move quickly. Each week’s special offers are first-come, first-served and are open for one hour only.
Here’s what’s next for Wednesday:
- Week 2 (May 20th): Wendy’s Charm Bracelet – The bracelet can be one of three themes: Fresh and Never-Frozen Burgers, Frosty & Fries, or Spicy Chicken.
- Week 3 (May 27): Wendy’s FC Soccer Jersey – Win a limited edition soccer jersey just before the FIFA World Cup.
- Week 4 (June 3): Canon Powershot G7X Mark III Digital Camera – The Wendy’s-inspired Canon digital camera is now available in limited quantities.
Tuesday’s Wendy’s app is also worth watching for a reason. The fast-food chain is offering a sale on its Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers on Tuesday, the day NASCAR drivers from the Trackhouse Racing team take the checkered flag.
If a driver wins, like Shane Van Gisbergen did at Watkins Glen International on May 10, you can get a 1-cent Junior Bacon Cheeseburger with any purchase of $5 or more in the Wendy’s app. Even if your driver doesn’t win, you can still find a deal for 10 Nuggets for $2.99 with a $5 in-app purchase bonus.
