Is the Tampa Bay Lightning Free Chick-fil-A Offer Gone?
For years, Tampa Bay Lightning fans have had that extra reason to cheer on the Bolts to get those home game wins at Amalie Arena. A home game win meant you got some free Chick-fil-A. But is the Chick-fil-A offer still good for the 2024-2025 season?
The Tampa Bay Lightning’s home opener 4-1 win at Amalie Arena meant fans got a free double cheeseburger, half off a pizza, some wings, and cheese curds. But the freebie they were looking for never appeared in their Chick-fil-A app.
No more free Chick-fil-A?
I hate to say it, but it looks like the offer is gone. During the Lightning’s first home game, there was no mention of the free Chick-fil-A offer on the promotions page where you usually found it. I thought maybe whoever runs the Tampa Bay Lightning website was just asleep at the Zamboni wheel. But the offer never showed up after the game.
The way the deal usually worked went like this. If the Bolts won at home, you’d get a freebie at Chick-fil-A. It was never a full meal, but it was usually something tasty like a chicken sandwich or nuggets. I think I remember them getting a little stingy and offering only free waffle fries at one point.
The offer would pop up in your Chick-fil-A app usually around an hour after the home game ended. The catch was you had to claim the offer by midnight. If you forgot, you lost it. That meant you had to close and reopen your Chick-fil-A app a dozen times sometimes until they finally loaded the freebie into your account. You also had to make sure you gave the Chick-fil-A app the ability to see your location. It was only open to Tampa area fans.
The other free food deals are back for 2024
Even if the free Chick-fil-A offer is gone for good, there are some of the other regular freebies and discounts this season.
For Wendy’s lovers, you can grab a free Double Stack with any purchase if the Tampa Bay Lightning score 4 goals or get a shutout win. Papa Johns fans get half off their pizza with the code “BOLTSW” after a Lightning win. If the Bolts score in the 3rd period, that means free cheese curds from Culvers. For that one, redeem online with the code “CURDS4BOLTS.” Just like the Wendy’s offer, a purchase is required. Wings fan? If the Bolts score 3 or more goals, go to Kanes3Goals.com to claim 3 free wings from Beef O’Bradys.
Some Lightning fans did get a Chick-fil-A Freebie
A friend who’s at the game tonight says fans DID get a free chicken sandwich at the arena tonight. But it’s one of those “ya had to be there” things. During the “Spot the Cow” segment they do where a fan has to locate the Chick-fil-A cow with a camera, fans were given the freebie if the contestant found the cow.
