Does Butterball Offer a Free Turkey Promotion?
BJ's members can earn a free Butterball turkey with a $150 purchase; Butterball offers a separate Buddy prize draw.
Yes, you can get a free Butterball turkey this year through BJ's Wholesale Club. Butterball, the turkey brand behind the Thanksgiving staple, is not handing out free turkeys itself. According to BJ's Wholesale Club via Business Wire, members who spend $150 or more in one transaction from Oct.
31-Nov. 9, 2026 qualify for a free fresh or frozen Butterball turkey through BJ's free-turkey announcement. Butterball's own free offer is a chance to win a turkey-shaped chore device, not a turkey.

How does the free Butterball turkey work at BJ's?
The deal requires a BJ's membership and a single qualifying purchase. Spend $150 or more in one transaction in-club, in the app, or at BJs.com during Oct. 31-Nov.
9, 2026. Smaller baskets spread across several trips do not count. Only that one-transaction threshold unlocks the turkey coupon.
When and how do you claim it?
Qualifying members find the coupon in the BJ's app or BJs.com account starting Nov. 14. You must claim the turkey online or in-club by Nov.
25. The coupon covers fresh or frozen Butterball turkey up to a $25 value. According to BJ's Wholesale Club via Business Wire, it excludes other brands and is redeemable only while supplies last, so early redemption matters as described in the coupon value and supply details.
What is Butterball giving away itself?
Butterball is giving away a Butterball Buddy, a turkey-shaped device for assigning holiday chores. According to Butterball via PR Newswire, drops happen at ButterballBuddy.com on the first three Mondays of November at 1 p.m. ET while supplies last, as described in the Butterball Buddy announcement.
This is a chance to win, not a benefit tied to a purchase. No turkey meat comes with it.
Who can enter for the Buddy?
Butterball's giveaway rules limit entry to legal U.S. residents age 18 and older. No purchase is required to enter.
Each entry period starting Nov. 2, 9 and 16, 2026 offers 275 Buddy prizes, with the entry window running Nov. 2-19, 2026, according to the Butterball Buddy giveaway rules.
Check these points before you try:
- confirm you meet the age and residency limit
- enter during an active entry period
- expect limited quantities rather than a prize for every entry
