You don’t need a secret code to pay less at Burger King. A few boring habits, used every single time, save more than any coupon you’ll find online. These are the twelve we’d start with.

Use the tools Burger King gives you

1. Check the app offers every time

The Offers section of the BK app is the best single source of discounts. Check it before every visit, because offers rotate and can differ between restaurants.

2. Join Royal Perks

It’s free, and every qualifying purchase earns Crowns you can trade for food. See our Royal Perks guide.

3. Take the receipt survey

Most people throw the receipt away without looking at it. The survey printed on a lot of them gets you an offer for your next visit, and it takes about as long as waiting for your order. Our receipt survey guide walks you through it.

4. Do the combo math

A combo is good value when you want the sandwich, the side and the drink. If you don’t, single items or a value bundle can be cheaper.

5. Choose water

Drinks have a big markup. Asking for water instead of a soft drink, where available, is an easy saving on every order.

6. Share a large side

One large order of fries often costs less than two small ones, and it’s easy to share.

7. Check the value menu first

Burger King usually has a value menu or bundle deals. Names, items and prices change and vary by location, so check the menu board or the app.

8. Skip the extras

Extra cheese, bacon and sauces add up quickly. Decide what you really want before you reach the counter.

Pick the right way to order

9. Pickup beats delivery

Delivery apps often charge more per item and add fees on top. Ordering ahead for pickup avoids all of that. Our delivery guide shows how to compare.

10. Order ahead to avoid impulse buys

Ordering in the app shows you the total before you commit, which makes it easier to skip add-ons you don’t need.

11. Use one offer per order, wisely

Most restaurants allow one offer per order. If you have several, spread them across separate visits and use the one that saves the most each time.

12. Watch for deal days

Food holidays such as National Cheeseburger Day often bring promotions. See our fast food deal days calendar.

The cheapest order, in one line

An app offer or value bundle, ordered ahead for pickup, with water, on an account that earns Crowns. It isn’t exciting, but do it every time and it beats any code you’ll find on a coupon site.
