For the past three years, Chick-fil-A has canceled Cow Appreciation Day due to concerns surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with mask mandates lifted for a while now, we’ve been hoping to hear some good news about the event returning. This year, Chick-fil-A has released Code Moo, a game you can play on your device to earn free food. Just in time for the return of the Peach Milkshake, too. Starting Wednesday, July 26, you can get a free chicken sandwich.

We’ll let you know exactly how to play and get your free Chick-fil-A. Plus, we’ll even let you know some of the exclusive merch and how long the event will last.

Want to know how to save on every Chick-fil-A order? We’ve got all the savings tips that you should know about — including some Chick-fil-A secret menu items.

 

Get free Chick-fil-A every week by playing Code Moo on your phone.

Code Moo has officially dropped, and you can play by going to playCodeMoo.com. In the game, you’ll be asked a series of questions based on a geographical location, and it’s your goal to find out which location the question is referring to. After you answer enough questions correctly, you’ll be given a reward added to your Chick-fil-A Rewards app.

Plus, you’ll be entered into a raffle if you complete the challenges every week. You’ll get one entry per week, but if you complete all six weeks, your chances will be doubled. Here are the prizes that you can earn:

  • Grand Prize (1 winner): Trip for two to Houston, TX for the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship with a Waffle Fry party and free Chick-fil-A sandwiches. (ARV: $9,320.16)
  • First Prize Winner (23 winners): Cow themed swag bag with visor, slides, beach towel, water bottle, crossbody bag, tote bag, paddle board set, beach hoodie, pocket t-shirt, and plush cow (ARV: $326.00)

You’re limited to one prize per account, and winners will be announced on August 15.

Cow Appreciation Day will not take place in restaurants this year.

When we heard about the upcoming event for Cow Appreciation Day, we were hoping that we could pick up a free Chick-fil-A sandwich just for dressing up as a cow. However, when we called the Chick-fil-A offices, a representative let us know that there will be no in-person freebies this year either.

In previous years, kids received a free Chick-fil-A sandwich (regularly $5.29) while adults could get an entree of their choice (up to $8.85 value) when they dressed like a cow.
