How the free hot dog offers worked
Love’s Travel Stops: free hot dog or roller-grill item
Love’s July 14, 2023 announcement said customers could get one free hot dog or roller-grill item at participating Love’s locations in 42 states on July 19. To redeem, customers needed to access a barcode through the Love’s Connect app during the announced 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. window. The company listed Schwab’s Finest Hot Dogs, Tornados, Roller Bites, and other roller-grill items. Love’s announcement described its 639 locations in 42 states at the time; that figure is historical, not a current location count.
Dog Haus: free hot dog coupons, with conflicting redemption details
The Houston Chronicle reported a free hot dog at select Dog Haus locations, dine-in only, using a mobile coupon obtained by texting FREE DOG to 833-440-1110. Parade described a free Haus Dog coupon for App Perks members at participating locations. Because those reports do not agree on the redemption channel, the safest summary is that Dog Haus offered a free hot dog or Haus Dog coupon at participating locations; the particular method depended on the reported account. See the Houston Chronicle’s account and Parade’s roundup.
