September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day, and this year's lineup of deals might be the biggest one yet. From free burgers to dollar deals, there's a discount waiting at nearly every major chain.
Here's a full rundown of where to save today.
Free and BOGO Burger Deals
Several chains are giving away burgers outright or running buy-one-get-one offers. Burger King's Royal Perks members can get a free Bacon Cheeseburger with a $3+ purchase, while McDonald's app users can score a free Double Cheeseburger with a $1+ purchase. Jack in the Box rewards members get a free Jr. Cheeseburger with a $1+ purchase, and Whataburger rewards members can grab a free Bacon & Cheese Whataburger Jr. with the purchase of a medium fry and drink — plus a chance at winning free Whataburger for a year.
On the BOGO side, Buffalo Wild Wings, Five Guys (with code BOGOBURGER), Hardee's, Mooyah, and Savvy Sliders are all offering buy-one-get-one-free burger deals today. BurgerFi and Denny's are running similar offers, but at a discount rather than fully free — BurgerFi knocks a second Double Cheeseburger down to $1, while Denny's takes 50% off a second Diner QP burger.
Dollar and Deep-Discount Deals
For chains going the low-price route, Jack's is offering $1 cheeseburgers after 2 p.m., Sonic has a Jr Double Cheeseburger for $1.99, and Smashburger loyalty members can get any single Smash for $1. Wendy's rewards members can grab a Dave's Single for $1.99 with any purchase, while Checkers and Rally's has a Big Buford for $3 through both September 17 and 18.

Twin Peaks has a Cheeseburger & Fries combo for $7.99 all day, and Perkins Restaurant & Bakery is running a Cheeseburger, Fry & Pie special for $10.99.

More Deals Worth Checking Out
Rounding out the list, Dairy Queen rewards members can snag a free single Original Cheeseburger Signature Stackburger with any app order of $1 or more, and Huddle House rewards members get a free single smash burger. Wahlburgers is offering 50% off a signature Our Burger or Our Burger Smash/HD Smash, though that deal runs September 17 only.
The Takeaway
With this many chains participating, National Cheeseburger Day is one of the easier food holidays to actually take advantage of. Most deals require a rewards account or app order, so it's worth signing up ahead of time if your favorite spot needs one.
