The inevitable and likely partially inflation-fueled point redemption shuffle has occurred. For those of you who eat at Chick-fil-A regularly, you might find the above information helpful. I've calculated the best and worst point redemption deals. This is based on the North Haven, CT Chick-fil-A in the point redemption tier that I am in, so this list may differ for you based on both the prices your local Chick-fil-A charges and the point redemption tier that you are in.
The items in blue are the best deals for point redemption, those in green are still pretty good, those in yellow are so-so, those in orange are not so good, and those in red are bad deals. I left out a few options that were pretty terrible as well, such as redeeming points for entire meals that include an entree, side, and a drink. Unfortunately, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is no longer the best deal, but at least it's still in the blue. And the Medium Waffle Potato Fries have gone down a notch, but they remain in the green.
You may be disappointed to learn (I know I sure am) that the best point redemption deal is for a Kale Cruch Side. I had it once, and it wasn't bad, but I'm certainly not going to be getting that regularly. On the plus side, it is healthy. Just behind it (and the only thing you can get for redeeming just 200 points) is the Ice Dream Cone, followed by Small Waffle Potato Fries for 300 points. The Chocolate Fudge Brownie is the next best deal, followed by a pretty cool addition for when you're in a sharing mood, the 30 count Nuggets. Unfortunately, you have to save up 2500 points to redeem for an order of those. Rounding out the blue category are the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, 4 Count Chick-n-Minis if you're there for breakfast, and a Freshly-Brewed Iced Tea.
The worst deal on my list is for 8 ounces of sauce, which I recommend never shelling out 600 points for, which also holds true for Lemonade or Sunjoy. Don't bother redeeming points for a Salad, 5 Count Grilled Nuggets, a Cup of Soup, a Medium Bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, a Medium Mac & Cheese, a Medium Fruit Cup, a Side Salad, or an Iced Coffee either. Otherwise, redeem your points for what you enjoy! But you'll have to wait until at least tomorrow to do so if you're on the East Coast like me right now, because it's nearly 11 PM. Goodnight.
