Key Takeaways
- National Cheeseburger Day is on Sept. 18, and Dairy Queen is marking the occasion with a four-day deal.
- Customers can score the deal with any $1 purchase—but there’s a small catch.
I’m a food writer, and even I’ll admit that national food holidays can get a little ridiculous. Not that I’m complaining, but do we really need a whole day devoted to celebrating Ants on a Log? Regardless of how you celebrate a food holiday, the best part of any national day is, without a doubt, the free food from our favorite fast food chains.
Last January, Panera Bread offered free bagels for National Bagel Day, while Burger King celebrated National Grilling Month by giving away free Whoppers all July long. Now, in honor of one of my personal favorite national food days—National Cheeseburger Day—Dairy Queen is giving away a fan-favorite menu item for free—and the deal isn’t just for one day, but four.
How To Get a Free Cheeseburger From Dairy Queen
The only thing better than a fast food cheeseburger is, arguably, a free fast food cheeseburger. In honor of National Cheeseburger Day on Sept. 18, Dairy Queen is offering fans just that—and more.
Rather than just one day of celebration, fans can get a free Double Original Cheeseburger Stackburger from Dairy Queen from Sept. 15 through Sept. 19 as part of the chain’s limited-time digital deal.
And DQ’s Stackburger is not your average fast food burger; instead, the Double Signature Stackburger features not one but two seasoned real beef patties on a soft, toasted bun topped with melted sharp American cheese and loaded with pickles, ketchup, and mustard.
Scoring a free Stackburger is easy. All you have to do is order anything worth $1 or more from Dairy Queen online or via the DQ app to get a free Double Original Cheeseburger Stackburger. The National Cheeseburger Day deal is available exclusively to both existing and new DQ rewards members, but fans must be registered loyalty members by Sept. 15 to redeem.
Unfortunately, the deal isn’t available for in-store orders—even if you are a DQ Rewards member.
Wondering what to spend your extra savings on? I’m partial to a signature DQ Blizzard, but you can always get a side of fries or onion rings to pair with your Stackburger, or a soda to wash it all down. No matter what you decide to get or how you celebrate National Cheeseburger Day, just don’t forget to order it in the app or online to snag your free burger.
