DQ Rewards members can claim one free Single Original Cheeseburger with a $1+ qualifying order at participating U.S. locations.
DQ Rewards members can get a free Single Original Cheeseburger Signature Stackburger with an app or online order of at least $1 from September 14 through 18, 2026. The offer is limited to participating U.S. DQ Grill & Chill locations and requires a DQ Rewards account.
DQ Rewards is Dairy Queen's membership program for app and online offers. International Dairy Queen says the deal is available to both new and existing members, with one deal and one redemption per person. International Dairy Queen's promotion announcement
What the free cheeseburger offer includes
The reward is for one Single Original Cheeseburger Signature Stackburger. It is free only when added to a qualifying order of $1 or more. That means the cheeseburger does not replace the purchase requirement.
Choose another eligible item that brings the order to at least $1, then apply the reward before checkout. The offer runs for five days, from September 14 through September 18, 2026. It is not described as a deal available outside that window.

Who can use it
New and existing DQ Rewards members may use the offer, but joining is required. New members should not wait until the last minute: Dairy Queen says a deal can take up to 24 hours to appear in a Rewards account. DQ's registration page also asks people creating a Rewards account to confirm they are at least 13 years old.
Dairy Queen's account-registration page The limit is one deal per person and one redemption per deal. Creating multiple orders will not change that stated limit for the member offer.
Where and how to redeem
Use the DQ Mobile App or Dairy Queen's online ordering site. The offer is for participating DQ Grill & Chill locations in the United States, not every Dairy Queen restaurant. Before placing the order, select the restaurant you plan to use and check that the cheeseburger deal appears in that account.
Dairy Queen's app FAQ says only active, valid deals appear in the app and that deals work only at participating locations. Dairy Queen Mobile App FAQ If the reward is absent after enrollment time has passed, do not assume a different nearby location will accept it. Check the selected restaurant in the app or online ordering flow first.
How to avoid a checkout surprise
A simple approach is: Plan on using this as the only app promotion in that transaction. Dairy Queen says its app allows one deal or reward per order, so another app deal generally cannot be stacked with this cheeseburger offer. Dairy Queen Mobile App FAQ
