Spring is coming back soon and that means Dairy Queen is giving away free treats again. They do this every year when the weather gets warm to make people happy. You can get a small vanilla cone for free at most of their stores. It is a simple way to celebrate the new season with your friends and your family today.
Mark The Date For March Nineteenth
The big day for free cones is officially Thursday March 19 which is right before spring begins. You can walk into any local shop and grab a vanilla treat for no cost. It is a fun tradition that happens every single year for everyone.
Expect A Small Vanilla Soft Serve
The free treat is specifically for one small vanilla soft serve cone with that signature little curl on the top. It is the classic flavor we all know and love so do not expect to get a chocolate or twist cone for free this time.
Visit Non Mall Locations For Freebies
If you go to a regular stand alone Dairy Queen location you can just walk in and ask for your cone with absolutely no purchase necessary. Most of the stores that are not inside a shopping mall are participating in this giveaway so it is usually pretty easy to find one.
Know The Mall Location Rules
Stores that are located inside shopping malls usually have different rules and often require you to buy something else first to get the free cone. It is a good idea to check with the specific location before you get in line just so you are not surprised when you get to the register.
Download The App For Extra Prizes
Dairy Queen is running a special sweepstakes from March 5 to March 19 where you can win free cones for a whole year just by having their app. You need to download the official mobile app and sign up for the rewards program to get your name entered into the contest.
Skip The Mobile Order Delivery Apps
You cannot get this free deal if you try to order through delivery apps like Uber Eats or DoorDash because it is strictly an in person event. You actually have to physically go to the store and stand in line to get your hand on the free ice cream.
You Need To Arrive Early To Avoid Long Lines
You need to plan your trip carefully because everyone wants to get their free treat. The afternoon is usually the busiest time since school lets out then. To stay out of long lines you should definitely go as soon as they open.
Limit One Cone Per Person Only
The rules say that there is a strict limit of one free small vanilla cone per customer while supplies last at the store. You cannot pick up extra cones for your friends or family who are not with you so make sure everyone comes along.
Look For Charity Dip Upgrades
Check if your local shop has extra toppings for a small gift to charity. You might get chocolate or cherry shells on your ice cream. This depends on the store but it is a fun way to support a good group while eating your snack.
Earn Double Points On Other Food
If you are a rewards member you can also earn double points on any other food you decide to buy while you are there getting your free cone. It is a nice little bonus if you were already planning on grabbing a burger or some chicken strips for lunch.
