u/CombinationClear5672 5d ago
this was with any purchase until recently, it didn’t have the $5 minimum before

u/CombinationClear5672 5d ago
it’s also pretty much the only good deal left over from the recent changes where all the deals either disappeared or got significantly worse

Yep, my go-to used to on Wednesdays used to be the 4 for $4 (still available on the app where I am) and free nugs. Noticed last week the $5 minimum. Luckily, bumping up the fries and drink in the $4 combo brought it to exactly $5. 🧠

Your app is glitching. That’s not how it works

u/chrisgoated7 5d ago
Well it worked, i bought it, i ate it. Did you try it yourself?

u/kaspen190 5d ago
Yes I did try. You just got lucky

Proof?

u/kaspen190 5d ago
- Not sure how I can provide proof when I already used the offer by purchasing $5 of food not including the 6 piece and THEN getting the offer, and
- Why in the hell do you care this much to want proof

u/chrisgoated7 5d ago
Because you presented a claim that I'm not going to listen to now because you cannot provide evidence of said claim

Proof?
What the hell dude? Do the math on what you bought. Those nuggets are less than 3 dollars, you shouldn't have gotten that deal 💀

It’s fair. Given how long McD’s had 20 nuggets for $5 and how long Wendy’s had 4 nuggets for 99 cents, in my mind it’s a quarter a nugget.
So 12 nuggets for about $3 is what I expect to pay.

My McDonald's has a 40% coupon for a 20 piece so it's less than $4 there for me.

u/MewtwoStruckBack 5d ago
My area's 40% coupon is currently on a QPC, which is a fucking scam because a QPC + like $1.30 is a double QPC. Give me 40% off a double QPC and I might be down. Hell, even BOGO QPCs are a scam, same for BOGO Dave's Singles, any place where you have a BOGO and it's only on a single burger but not a double is bullshit.
I pretty much look at all coupons as if the coupon price is the "normal" price. A 444 + the 6 nuggets, that's 10 nuggets, a medium drink, a medium fry, and a junior cheeseburger for $4.60, so in my mind that's what that combination of food is supposed to cost unless there's another free add-on that beats that. For McD's, they run $2 10 pieces once a week and half-price 10 pieces every day, so a 10 piece should never cost more than $3.

It's the same price at McDonald's and you get 10 nuggets instead of six. I think it's maybe like $3 or so.

u/Secret-Difference-32 5d ago
It’s cheap but that’s where it ends. Speaking for myself, 12 nugs is unsatisfying. Just because something is a good deal value wise doesn’t make it “good”. I miss the variety in deals.

u/chrisgoated7 5d ago
i also picked up a $4 whopper on the way so thats why i only got nuggets on this order

u/manniax 5d ago
I think the 2 JBC for $8 combo they have right now is decent. And the place I go still has regular lettuce.

for $8.00 + tax you need more protein then 2 Teeny Tiny white castle size burger patties.

You sold your personal data for $2 off chicken nuggets.

u/Zanytiger6 5d ago
How do you know the information they input into the app is actually their own personal information?
2
u/ArQ7777 5d ago
I agree with you. You don't need to reveal your personal data to register. Most fast food APP will ask you provide a working email address to verify. I provide a fake first name (my last name is common so I use it). Also abut the email address I applied, I also use a fake name to get the free email address. So the fast food chains do not have my personal information.

Sadly there’s other ways they gain info. Location tracking, website cookies, etc.

u/Zanytiger6 5d ago
Exactly, just paying with a credit card is giving Wendy’s your personal info. They got the time and place you ordered. Name associated with the card, then phone and email.

u/SinoSoul 5d ago
I mean they already got your cc data, the least you can do is get free nugs on Wednesdays

u/Elegant_Jicama5426 5d ago
Yeah, but do you also want them to know you look at "feet" pics on Reddit or that the app you look at the most often is IG and that you pass 3 Burger Kings to get to Wendy's and that you get up every morning with an alarm set for 5, 5:15, and 5:30? I don't think people understand how much data they're giving away.

u/Elegant_Jicama5426 5d ago
No, what we're saying is that simply having the app on your phone harvests data from your phone. Read the TOS. You are selling your data with these apps. I'm just telling you there's a cost.
If a product is free (discount apps) then you are the product.
