Arby's is Launching a March Madness Promotion
Arby's is officially launching a new promotion that aligns with the sports community. Starting on March 20, the quick-service restaurant will be giving away free sandwiches to members of its loyalty program who spend $15. Redeemed through the Arby's Rewards app, the promotion will allow consumers to choose between the multiple sandwich options. Notably, this offer cannot be redeemed when ordering delivery.
Other brands involved in the March Madness promotion include Wendy's, who is giving away $1 sandwiches with a purchase, Applebee's opts for 50-cent boneless wings, and Shake Shack will treat consumers to an Avocado Bacon Burger for free with a $10 purchase.
Buffalo Wild Wings will also offer two hybrid sauces, Buffalo Bleu and BBQ Ranch, as a part of the promotion. There is also a pair of novelty glasses so consumers can watch multiple games at once.
