The Chick-Fil-A Cow Calendar is going away in 2019 … and that’s okay! I’ll Tell You Why…

The Chick-fil-a Cow Calendar (and freebie card) will not exist in 2019…. and that’s okay!

I’m here to tell you why!

Did you give Cow Calendars as gifts?  Here is Chick-fil-a’s response:

We know that Cow Calendars were a popular giftable item, so we are stepping up our gift card game to make sure you have something to give those most special to you.

Purchase them from your local Chick‑fil‑A Restaurant or select retail locations where gift cards are sold.

So why is it okay that Cow Calendars (and the freebie card) are going away?

Because the Chick-fil-a One App is SO MUCH BETTER!

In a nutshell, here’s why:

  • MORE rewards
  • Better CHOICE of rewards
  • Always with you (on your phone)

The Chick-fil-a One App is great!  With the retiring of the calendar card, it has undergone some changes.  But they are good changes!  I think you’ll agree!

The first thing you might have noticed in the new app is now you have “points”.  This is a good thing!

You’ll earn POINTS for what you spend and then you’ll have control over what you spend those points on!  Giving you more freedom to choose what you want for free!

Starting out, you’ll be a silver member (more on that in a minute) and you’ll earn 10 points for every $1 you spend.

You can redeem points starting at 150 for a chocolate chunk cookie, hash browns or a small Icedream cone.

BUT if you want to, you can keep on adding to those points to redeem for something bigger!

Small or Medium Waffle Fries are 200 points.  Drinks are 250 points.  A chicken biscuit is 350.  The point values go up but so do the freebies, sandwiches, nuggets, strips and even salads are all freebie options if you have the points!

After you earn your first 1000 points, you’ll be a silver member and you’ll start earning 11 points per dollar spent.

Above silver membership is RED MEMBER.  Where you will earn 12 points per dollar spent AND you’ll get exclusive content through your app.

Excuse me while I go to Chick-fil-a to buy all the things and be a RED Member RIGHT NOW.  

What do you think about the app changes?

***Update*** Trust me, I hear you!  Many of you are upset about the changes.  You miss the freebie card.  I get it.  But here are a few things to point out:

  • I’m not Chick-fil-a so getting mad at *me* doesn’t do any good.  Some of the comments use the 2nd person ‘you’ directed at me.  Instead of ‘Chick-fil-a’ in the third person.

  • Chick-fil-a won’t see the comments you leave here on my blog, Saving Toward a Better Life.  I’m just a person, unaffiliated with Chick-fil-a trying to make the best of the new changes.  Being positive goes a long way!

  • The program is new.  You should at least give it a chance!

  • The biggest complaint I hear is “I miss the freebies.”
    People, download the app!!  I get freebies all the time!  I got a FREE cookie as my birthday treat!  In fact, I got a free cookie as a birthday treat from Chick-fil-a, then MY specific Chick-fil-a I frequent ALSO sent me a cookie freebie for my birthday.  About once or twice a quarter (3 months) I get one or two “just because” freebies (free sandwich, free nuggets, etc) issued by certain locations but that can be redeemed at any location.  And once, I ate a Chick-fil-A I had never been to before and next time I opened the app, that location had issued me a “thanks for stopping by” free sandwich that I could redeem at any location.
    So don’t knock the app until you try it.  I mentioned above, it opens up the door to MORE FREEBIES.
