In a recent press release issued on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, the brand declared that, in honor of its 73rd birthday, it is announcing August 8 as National Whataburger Day and will be giving away free burgers as part of this celebration.

This burger will feature a huge beef patty, tomato, lettuce, sliced onions, pickles, and mustard served on a 5-inch bun. Although the prices may vary, it is usually around $5. This promotion is valid from August 7 to August 8, 2023. It will also be offered at all participating locations.

Furthermore, while these burgers are free and no purchase is required, there is a small catch. According to the brand's news release, in order to collect the celebratory free burger, the customer must complete the following steps:

• They first need to visit the App Store or Google Play to download the official app of the franchise.

• Then they need to sign up for a Rewards account.

This deal is only available for active users. If a customer already has a Rewards membership, they can enjoy the burger, provided they have used the app to place at least one order in the last one year.

In addition to giving away free burgers, the company is wiping out $73,000 worth of local school food debt, which is $1,000 for every year the restaurant has been founded.

Furthermore, the firm revealed that Table tent collectors will no longer have to settle with the standard five-finger discount to add to their collection. This is because, in addition to the in-app burger freebie, each restaurant of the company will give away limited amounts of table tents to visitors on August 8, 2023.

They can also buy something on Whatastore that day and receive a free table tent with their purchase.
