How to Spend your Points at Chick-fil-A

Here's a short but useful post for all you Chick-fil-A fans.  If you have the Chick-fil-A App, you earn points for every purchase you make.  You can then use the points to get free food or drinks at Chick-fil-A.  But not all redemptions are created equal.  It took me a few minutes to put together a spreadsheet for the North Haven, CT Chick-fil-A, based on current availability and cost in dollars and points for each item.  You can make a customized spreadsheet for your favorite location, and all you have to do to find the best value is sort by how many points equal a dollar!

Previously, it was well-known that the best value for point redemption was the Medium Waffle Potato Fries, but the recent bump from 200 to 300 points for that item changed the math significantly.  The best point redemption value is now my favorite item on the menu, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich!  The worst value is a small fruit cup, which requires the same number of points to buy but costs a lot less in dollars.

Items in blue are the best values, and if you really want an item in green instead, it's an alright value to use points there as well.  For those in yellow, it's not ideal, but hey, if you really want it and you have a lot of points to redeem, they aren't your worst options.  However, I don't know why you would ever use points for any of the orange items, and the red items are the worst of all.

You're welcome!  And my apologies for posting this on a Sunday, because now you're hungry, but Chick-fil-A is closed.  Oh well.  There's always tomorrow.
