Food & drink deals and freebies
Frosty Key Tag gives a Free Jr. Frosty with any purchase
For just $3, Wendy's Frosty Key Tag gets you a free Jr. Frosty with any purchase, every single day — and it's valid through December 31, 2026. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch between classes or a late-night snack after the library, that's a free treat every time you order. Even better, 90% of every Key Tag sold goes to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, so you're snacking for a good cause. Grab it in the Wendy's app or as a physical keychain at participating US locations while supplies last.

Snag a free drink customization every month with Starbucks Rewards
Every Starbucks Rewards member, regardless of tier, gets a free drink customization once a month through "Free Mod Monday" — think an extra shot, a flavored syrup, or cold foam at no extra cost. Note that it can't be combined with your free birthday drink, free refills, or other Rewards offers — it's a standalone monthly perk.
Get a free drink from Dunkin' just for signing up
Joining Dunkin' Rewards comes with a free medium coffee or tea just for registering, on top of the usual 3 points per $1 spent afterwards. Free items start at 150 points, so that welcome drink is a solid head start.

Try Grubhub+ Student Membership
Grubhub has a dedicated student membership tier with perks on delivery and pickup orders — verify your student status through Student Beans to unlock it. A solid alternative or add-on to the DoorDash and Uber One deals above if Grubhub is more your go-to.
