How to Get Free Food at 156 Restaurants without Getting Arrested

Wouldn’t it be amazing if all you had to do is give someone your email address and 5 minutes later, get a coupon for a free burger?

Or better, how incredible would it be if could get a coupon for a free breakfast entree every month for the rest of your life?

That would be so awesome, right? If only it were possible… oh wait.

IT IS.

One of the biggest things people never take advantage of are restaurant reward programs and their eClubs. I mean seriously, all you need to do is sign up with your first name and email and BOOM, you got yourself a free coupon for frozen yogurt. Just like that. Yet no one ever takes advantage of it. Why is that?

Oh wait, I forgot, everyone love paying for food right. Who likes free anyways… I’d rather pay. (Sarcasm.)

It makes me so mad that I…I need to write an epic guide to help people get free food at 156 restaurants without getting arrested.

How to Get Free Food at Restaurants

Almost every major restaurant offers special sign up food and freebie bonuses when you first sign up for their loyalty program, newsletter, or eClub.

So literally, all you need to do is give up your email address, then boom, you’ll get a freebies in your inbox every month, including your birthday.

It’s that simple.

Just Don’t Get Arrested…

Okay so you won’t really get arrested if you try to “beat the system” but it’s still unethical.

You see, some restaurants will give you free food if you sign up. However, there are some ways to beat the system such as using 10 different names and emails.

Yes this can lead to hundreds free burgers or free milkshakes, but is it really right?

That’s way I do believe you should be honest and take advantage of these deals ethically.

All Restaurants That Offer Free Food in Exchange for an Email Address

Here’s all the restaurants across the United States that offer killer freebies just by signing up with your first name and email address.

Just remember that you can use this email hack to help you manage these restaurant promotional emails without your email account getting flooded with emails.

Also, on this list, you won’t see any birthday freebies, because all of those can be found on our birthday freebie post.

So with that being said here are all the restaurant that offer free food and delicious sign up bonuses.
