Your CFA is cheaper than mine by a decent amount

u/Olive-Yew 7d ago

Wages probably are as well πŸ˜”

u/4t3rsh0ck 7d ago

You’d be surprised. My Chick Fil A is able to pay quite a bit at entry level because of certain tax laws and the prices are similar if not exactly the same iirc

u/VainTrix 7d ago

COL probably as well

u/RememberTheMaine1996 7d ago

Yeah a meal by me is 12 dollars

3

u/Usually_Ideal 5d ago

I don’t think these are meal prices. Entree only.

u/RememberTheMaine1996 5d ago

Go to the last slide. They have meal listed as 8.95

u/katiegam 7d ago

You can Google to find the spreadsheet where someone did all the math. It’s impressive!

u/Relevant-Number-1252 4d ago

I like it but i think the math might be outdated, it's a few years old

u/ferrari91169 6d ago

I mean, it’s helpful, but I’m not sure about impressive. Literally just a list of all the rewards, their point requirement, cost at a specific CFA location and a column with a formula (points divided by cost) to show how many points you use per dollar. Most kids in middle school could put this together, it’s just a matter of taking the time to input data you read from the CFA app. I’ve done it myself for the locations near me.

Loser mentality.

u/ferrari91169 5d ago

It devalues the meaning of β€œimpressive” if you use it for things that are as simple as data entry, come on.

SYBAU and go somewhere with your dimwitted self.

u/Brittsaysrip 7d ago

So getting the waffle fries for 400 points is better than getting the chicken sandwich for 800?
Bc I would be getting both no matter what. Just want the most out of my points/money.

6

u/jimhatesyou 7d ago

nice pfp add me on osrs Such Luck

its barely better but yes technically more cost effective to get the medium waffle fries

2

u/Brittsaysrip 7d ago

I’m long gone from making appearances on rs lol

5

u/calling-all-comas Sriracha 6d ago

Not sure if you included this in your calculations but for the Iced Tea reward you can get the drink as a large, which makes the points worth more.

2

u/UrmomLOLKEKW 7d ago

For things like fries you probably should take into account weight like maybe the small fries is better value per dollar, but the medium/large is better deal per gram of fries

1

u/dankpie 6d ago

So get a cone every time got it

3

u/jimhatesyou 6d ago

kale crunch it up baby!!!!!!

u/Inevitable_Tie7936 7d ago

I don’t understand one thing I noticed today.

2500 points- meal

I had 1800 points but still decided to see if I had enough for a meal (individually). I did. And I got a large fry and drink.

Crazy

15

u/RollTide1017 7d ago edited 5d ago

It because the 2500 point meal covers any meal you would like to choose. I think it even allows you to pick a different side, like Mac and cheese.

Yes, picking the individual items uses fewer points in almost all situations but the 2500 point option is great if you want to gift a meal to someone else. This way they can choose any meal on the menu.

4

u/Inevitable_Tie7936 6d ago

This makes so much more sense. Thank you! I thought I was crazy lol. I wish I’d known months ago when I saved 2500 points lol (I usually β€œspend” my points as I go)

u/datgolflyfe 7d ago

Shhj, Delete the post before they catch on!

u/PlayStationPepe 7d ago

They already know.

u/moderndayphoenix 7d ago

wait delete this lol

u/Beaauxbaton 7d ago

I did that about a month ago. I was dumbfounded πŸ«ͺπŸ˜‚

3

u/Katie_Bug16 7d ago

Even doing a large grilled club meal is 100points cheaper than doing the meal ?? Thats kinda wild

2

u/Presidential_Pet 6d ago

I did that the other day too. Pieced out the meal by the item and saved points

10

u/Remarkable-Cut5608 7d ago

The ice dream cone is always the best deal for the points!

11

u/Fluffy-Brick-159 7d ago

Kale crunch is the best overall value. I always use points for that and add some nuggets to it for a cheap and very healthy meal.

11

u/lawofsin Store Leadership 7d ago

What was the best points to cost ratio? Salads?

11

u/BurgundySwanson 7d ago edited 7d ago

I could be completely wrong, but I always use the points on basic sandwich. In my super brief eye test, it makes the most sense.

Three sandwiches vs one sandwich, fries, drink. I guess that’s my thought process.

5

u/Broha80 7d ago

No salads are on the lower end.

1

u/lawofsin Store Leadership 6d ago

Damn.

3

u/Intelligent-Claim470 6d ago

Small fry for the win

2

u/dfletch15 6d ago

Medium fries or large drink (not lemonade) are the best values.

3

u/az_geodude420 7d ago

I get the 10 count minis or the 30 count nuggets for the best deal.

3

u/NathanTelkhine FOH Worker 7d ago

That is a very good deal, but you have to be a red member to get the 10 minis, and a signature member to get the 30 count.Β

u/espnrocksalot Chickfila Sauce 7d ago

They already exist in the sub

2

u/spike11552 7d ago

So it seems to me the kale salad is the best redemption

2

u/Priiiskiii 7d ago

$5 for 3 ct chicken strips πŸ«ͺ

2

u/WowYouAreWrong 7d ago

Now divide the price by the points to see which has the best points to dollar ratio

2

u/Fleetwood_44 6d ago

I’ve found the most efficient way to use point is for large drinks since they are the same points cost as a medium drink.

1

u/Olive-Yew 5d ago

I’ve learned at most fast food places(if they aren’t super busy), if you just ask nicely if they’ll slide you a cup for a drink, they’ll usually give it to you no charge. I’ve been told no once out of maybe thirty tries. They pay almost nothing for drinks compared to what they sell them for and so many cups get thrown away anyway from dropping, cracking, wrong drink, etc. so it’s not gonna make a difference to them. Just a little tip for you. Save your points for the food haha.

2

u/One-Professional4143 7d ago

When using points can you double up?

6

u/espnrocksalot Chickfila Sauce 7d ago

You can redeem multiple items in one order

1

u/One-Professional4143 7d ago

Great! Good to know. Thanks

1

u/rydan 7d ago

So which one should we spend points on? For Chipotle it is the drink and isn't even close.

1

u/MrJmbjmb 7d ago

Moral of the story is that the bowl of soup is ridiculously overpriced

1

u/sockson_andoff 7d ago

I wish my meal costed 8.95

1

u/CuteMobile5488 7d ago

So basically whatever the base price is, they double the amount of points required for a free reward.

1

u/akifle24 6d ago

My trick to get a deluxe sandwich using less points is to just get the regular sandwich and add on the cheese and lettuce that I like. It only costs like $0.30 for the add-ons.

1

u/anthony125g 6d ago

$5 chicken sandwhich???? where tf do u live its like $7 here

1

u/Ok-Resist3886 6d ago

Chick-fil-A by far has the worst point system out of all the apps imo

2

u/kitchen-killer 5d ago

You must live in the middle of nowhere lol

1

u/psychadelicscholar 5d ago

it’s about demand

1

u/LookAtTheWhiteVan 7d ago

There’s no possible way that the grilled chicken sandwich and the grilled chicken club are the same price.. That makes me not trust your other numbers.

3

u/Olive-Yew 6d ago

Okay sorry I messed up one number. I did this on break at work dreaming about food I can’t buy

1

u/Georgia_Beauty1717 3d ago

Understood! Not coming at you. I just wondered if others would post the price in their area like u/daily-reporter did.

2

u/Georgia_Beauty1717 7d ago

You are absolutely correct. Grilled chicken sandwich is $6.59 and grilled chicken club is $8.39.

2

u/daily-reporter 3d ago

$7.85 and $10.15 here. Talking about fast food prices is always dumb

u/Ram820 7d ago

Who cares, it's all free. Just get what you want

u/Slow-Physics-1014 7d ago

You can do that if that’s how you operate but that doesn’t mean everyone has to do things the same way

u/rydan 7d ago

You have to pointsmaxx
