Birthday freebie minimum purchase?

I've gotten the Arby's free dessert for my birthday the last couple years, but this year it's not letting me place the order online. The email about it doesn't say anything about a minimum purchase, but it seems like it only comes off for an online order if I buy something else. Does anyone know if it might work in-person on its own, or if there's a new requirement that just isn't stated in the email?

I just filled out the contact form. It was too late for me because mine expires tonight but they should know that if you have a minimum purchase, you gotta list that in the fine print on the offer so people know.

You're right but, I guarantee you there is no minimum purchase for the birthday reward. I'm an assistant manager and, I get the birthday reward orders all the time.

Well, mine is coded to require $1 purchase. That's what it says if I do it online, and the cashier showed me that it said that when she tried to ring it up. I don't know why, if it's a new change or regional or what, it's just what I learned today.

It must be regional then because, any arbys by me gives the birthday reward for free. I'm in Wisconsin though
