You Can Get a FREE Doughnut at Dunkin’ Every Friday in May—Here’s How
Updated: Dec. 04, 2020
Need a pastry to kick-start your Friday? Get a free Dunkin' doughnut every Friday all May long, courtesy of this deal.
We get it—it’s hard to roll out of bed on a weekday, even if you’re on the cusp of the weekend. Luckily, Dunkin’ is here to help you finish out the week strong, and if the $2 Dunkin’ menu isn’t enough to get your gears movin’, this deal definitely will be. All May long, Dunkin’ is serving up free doughnuts on Fridays.
If you’re looking to snag a free Dunkin’ doughnut this Friday, we’ll show you how. And there’s only a small catch!
You Deserve a Free Doughnut This Friday
No matter your taste, Dunkin’ is serving up all the best, like Boston Kreme, Glazed Chocolate or any other doughnut of your choice. Treat yourself to a Strawberry Frosted Donut, complete with a flurry of colorful sprinkles, or get nostalgic with a French Apple Pie Donut straight from Grandma’s kitchen. After all, Free Donut Friday is when Dunkin’ gives it up and celebrates you.
Dunkin’ announced Free Donut Friday via Instagram back in March and decided to extend the offer through May. With all of these sweet choices, we really can’t blame them.
Dunkin’ is also rolling out all-new Iced Mondays, dedicating the first day of the week to $2 medium iced coffees through the entire month of May. On top of all this goodness, Dunkin’s most famous coffee flavor, Butter Pecan, is making a comeback in some locations. Could this deal get any sweeter?!
So where did the “Donuts” go? Here’s why Dunkin’ changed its name.
Wait—Here’s the Catch
Dunkin’ is asking that you sign up for the Dunkin’ DD Perks Rewards Program, which is similar to the Starbucks Rewards Program. You have to buy a beverage to pick up a complimentary doughnut. Doughnuts, drinks and this deal are all available when you order through the app, delivery, pick it up curbside or in-store and roll through the drive-through.
The more orders you put in at Dunkin’, the more points you rack up toward a free beverage or goodie (like a free Dunkin’ doughnut) of your choice. In the long run, the DD Perks program is bound to save you more than you spend, so we think it’s worth the investment. Move quickly, though, because this deal only lasts until May 29!
