Wendy's $3 Frosty Key Tags Are BACK and Get You FREE Jr. Frostys for a Year

The $3 Frosty tag is one of our favorite ways to save money at Wendy’s every year. A one-time purchase for $3, and you get a free 6-ounce Jr. Frosty with any purchase for the whole year. And like the Wendy’s Boo Books, purchases of the tag benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption — a nonprofit dedicated to finding homes for children waiting in foster care in the United States and Canada.

You can grab a physical Key Tag at your favorite Wendy's location, or you can get a digital version on the Wendy's app. There’s no limit to how many Key Tags you can purchase, so these make a great gift to treat coworkers, neighbors, or friends while giving back to the community.

Each tag costs $3 — which is the same price as last year and cheaper than buying just two Jr. Frostys. Yep. Use it twice, and it’s paid for itself.

What is a Wendy’s Frosty key tag? It’s your ticket to a free 6-ounce Jr. Frosty every time you purchase Wendy’s during the next calendar year. You'll pay $3 to get your Key Tag now, and get a free Jr. Frosty with every purchase for the following 365 days.

Wendy's Key Tags are available Dec. 9, 2024 - Feb. 15, 2025.

Wendy-s Frosty Key Tags — December 2024

The Frosty Key Tags are set to officially arrive on Dec. 9, 2024, but some locations already have them available for purchase. You have until Feb. 15, 2025, to purchase a Key Tag, and then until Dec. 31, 2025, to use it as many times as you'd like.

KCL TIP: For every $3 Key Tag sold, $2.55 goes directly to the Dave Thomas Foundation, helping find safe, permanent, and loving homes for children in foster care.

Purchase a $3 Frosty Key Tag from your cashier or through the Wendy's app.

Wendy’s Frosty Key Tags are available in stores and in the Wendy's app. You can purchase a physical Key Tag in person or a digital Key Tag through your Wendy’s Rewards account for $3 each.

You can purchase as many physical Key Tags as you’d like, but digital Key Tags are limited to one per Wendy’s Rewards account. (You can also buy the Key Tags in bulk via the Dave Thomas Foundation website.)

You can use your Wendy's Frosty Key Tag as soon as you purchase it.

If you want to get your free Frosty immediately, be sure to get a physical card. You can use it as soon as you get your paws on it. But if you get a digital version, you may need to wait up to an hour for it to load into your Wendy's account.

You can use a digital Frosty Key Tag once an hour and a physical one once per visit.

The physical key tags can be used once per visit. The digital key tag gives you a coupon in the Wendy’s app, and once you use it, you’ll get another coupon about an hour later.

You can't use a physical Key Tag for Wendys.com orders or a digital Key Tag for in-person orders.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use your physical Key Tag for your Wendys.com orders or your digital Key Tag for your in-person purchases. But you could buy one of each to cover your bases — it’ll only cost $6 and pays for itself if you buy four Frostys in a year.
