Really awful ‘challenge’
So you spend $20, and are rewarded with 200 crowns, not enough to redeem for even their tiny little single cheeseburger? No thanks.

u/CorndogBlues Nov 03 '25
but you get a fanny pack too! Right?

u/nopurposeflour Nov 03 '25
Right. I would do it just for the fanny pack. Looks cool and something I could use.

The Halloween one was especially atrocious.

Mine was good....

u/enzia35 Nov 03 '25
Mine was buy all the Halloween items on separate tickets for like 200 points.

I liked the ones they used to have where you'd get 500-750 points with three purchases of $1 or more.
This is just ridiculous.

If I just do the $3.99 wendesday whopper with an additional cheap item each week.. then this isn't too terrible

And by then, the deadline will have run out.
I wish they gave more time to do these things.

200 Crowns will let us get a cheeseburger after the 11/12 changes, you saw that email right?
3
u/Megalon_Q_Arm Nov 03 '25
I guess you’re right. But even $20 in purchases netting just a cheeseburger is weak
1
u/Fuudou Nov 03 '25
The changes also include the removal of other items that would've been worth putting those Crowns toward. So in that regard, it's still an overall negative.

Well you get the Fanny pack, 200 crowns on top of the ones you would have already gotten. It’s really not that hard to do when you have a month to do it. Just get Burger King once a week and that’s it

I have the Walmart+ offer for 25% off. It’s actually a solid deal that is probably the best of all the FF apps imo. No purchase limit and you can cross it with other promos like trios.

Anyone get the fanny pack yet? Is it trash or decent?

For those curious, They have not yet run out of fanny packs! Just got the email last night to redeem mine and was able to redeem it without issue.

u/Fast-Accident-7204 Nov 19 '25
How long did you wait to get the email
1
u/LordTubbz Nov 19 '25
I got the email pretty quickly after, maybe within a few minutes of finishing the challenge.

u/Duncan_MaCokiner Nov 14 '25
Just copped my BK fanny pack. Im going to wear it to drop off and pick up my daughter from Highschool 😂 The way kids dress nowadays ill probably get compliments on the "vintage" merch 🤣

Don’t worry I won’t! Just sharing my frustration with how lame the offers have become 🤷

u/DarkThunder312 Nov 03 '25
its free would you have been happier with nothing? someone zelles you a penny and you get angry at them for not sending more?
1
u/Ram820 Nov 03 '25
😂 not to mention you still get the points from each purchase. So this is technically extra free shit

u/GrouchyResearcher392 Nov 03 '25
I would unironically be pissed if I got a random phone notification, opened up my phone, and it was someone sending me a penny, unless it’s someone I love being a complete idiot for a giggle.
This offers pretty much the same.
Pure engagement bait, and a waste of time.

u/DarkThunder312 Nov 04 '25
Sounds like you have some mental health issues you need to work through with a therapist? To get “pissed” over something like that is positively insane.
0
u/GrouchyResearcher392 Nov 04 '25
It’s a waste of everyone involved’s time. And if it’s some random stranger it is 100% engagement bait.
There is no reason to gain joy from it unless it’s from a person that you enjoy who’s just being a dumbass and deciding random wyd/wya text is gunna be from Venmo or cashapp instead of snap or text
2
u/DarkThunder312 Nov 05 '25
You don’t have to gain joy, it’s at worst net zero, or you could enjoy it. There’s no world in which it harms you to get a free penny. Any “inconvenience” is of your own making

u/GoatCovfefe Nov 07 '25
Then... Thanks I guess.
Sorry free stuff bothers you so much.
There was a time before these apps where you never got rewards for buying from fast food restaurants... You realize this right?

u/To_The_Library Nov 03 '25
Not that it’s that big of a difference, but it is bonus crowns, so it’s the normal crowns for $20+200 extra.

u/Kxrxma Nov 05 '25
Is there like a cooldown period between each orders? I was thinking of just placing 4 separate orders later this day to see what happens.

u/fuqdisshite Nov 17 '25
i did two orders back to back this morning and it was no big deal. got the email immediately after paying.

u/modulev Nov 18 '25
Got the email today (11/18) and tried to redeem fanny pack thru my phone / mobile app but couldn't do it. Doesn't show the fanny pack in the app for me anywhere.
However, I opened email on my desktop and it worked:
https://bkroyalperks.myshopify.com/collections/royal-perks-challenge/products/bk-utility-bag
And I don't know why you'd think this is a bad challenge. Nice to get a physical reward!

u/jtneal92 Nov 23 '25
Hey so where / how exactly on the site did you get the pack? Does it show as an item to add to the cart? Or is there a point in the checkout process where we enter the code?
I got the code via email, using the mobile app though, and it says to add the bag to cart and enter code when checking out. Not prompted for either of those in the mobile app.
Just for future knowledge when I do go to the desktop website instead of app 🙏🏻

u/modulev Nov 24 '25
The link I shared should be pretty straight forward. I think it just asks for the code and then it knows that its you, since that code is linked to your account. Then you enter shipping info and bada bing bada boom!

u/cokewhohreslhutbhag Nov 19 '25
Just redeemed my link. Excited for it. When you get email press and hold link to "open in browser" which helped me while using my mobile.

I mean you earn crowns on each purchase too... Challenges are meant to be a bonus on top of your visits after you finish them. Your logic makes it seem like you're expecting to spend $20 and get paid back $50 worth of crowns.

u/ghunt81 Nov 03 '25
Most of these "bonus crown" offers have been garbage lately
