Fine Print & Level-Up Pro Tips

- Small size only — the free size is a Small; larger floats are still full price.
- Limit one per customer, so bring the whole family and everyone can claim their own.
- Participating locations — not all A&W restaurants may join in. Call your local A&W in advance to confirm they're participating.
- Feeling generous? A&W is also running a DAV (Disabled American Veterans) fundraiser — you can donate $10 and get a collector's mug on the same visit.
- More Ways to Save: Pair your free float with a BOGO entrée at Whataburger two days later on National Whataburger Day (August 8), feed two for under $20 with the Buffalo Wild Wings Pick 6 Meal for Two starting at $19.99, or plan a dine-in night out with Applebee's 2 for $25 Meal Deal + half-price late-night apps.
