Receipt & Code Questions
- Question: Do I need a receipt to take the survey?
Answer: Yes. A valid Wendy’s receipt with a survey invitation code is required. The receipt typically includes:
- Restaurant number
- Date of visit
- Time of visit
- Survey ID or code
Without this information, you cannot begin the survey.
- Question: My receipt is older than 7 days. Can I still participate?
Answer: No. You must complete the survey within 7 days of your visit, as the system will not accept expired receipts.
- Question: I lost my receipt. Can I still get a reward?
Answer: Unfortunately, no. Wendy’s requires the survey code from your receipt and the receipt itself to redeem your validation code in-store.
- Question: Can I reuse the same receipt for multiple surveys?
Answer: No. Each receipt is valid for only one survey submission and one reward redemption.
Reward Questions
- Question: What kind of rewards can I get from TalkToWendys?
Answer: Common rewards include:
- Free Dave’s Single®
- Buy One Get One Free Sandwich
- Free small fries or drink with a combo
- Discounts on your next purchase
The exact reward is printed on your receipt and may vary by store or region.
- Question: Do I need to make a purchase to redeem the reward?
Answer: It depends on the offer. Some rewards like BOGO deals require a purchase, while others, like a free Dave’s Single, may not. Always check your receipt for specific reward terms.
- Question: Where can I use the validation code?
Answer: You can redeem the reward in-store at any participating Wendy’s location. The code must be written on the original receipt and shown to the cashier when ordering.
- Question: Can I redeem the reward online or via the Wendy’s app?
Answer: No. Survey rewards must be redeemed in person at a Wendy’s restaurant. They are not valid for mobile orders, delivery, or drive-thru without physical receipt presentation.
- Question: Can I redeem multiple rewards at once?
Answer: No. Wendy’s limits reward redemption to one per person, per visit. You can complete multiple surveys with different receipts, but you must use the rewards separately.
