TellPopeyes.com: How to Get Free Chicken (2026 Guide)
Author’s Note: That greasy receipt at the bottom of the bag? That is your ticket to a free lunch.
We all love the crunch of Popeyes chicken. But let’s be honest—it’s not exactly cheap. A combo meal adds up fast.
But here is the secret: Do not throw away your receipt.
Popeyes runs a guest feedback program called TellPopeyes. They want to know if your biscuits were warm and if the spicy chicken was actually spicy.
If you take 2 minutes to answer their questions, they reward you with a Free 2-Piece Chicken & Biscuit (usually with the purchase of a large drink).
That is a solid meal for the price of a soda.
Here is how to claim your free food before the code expires.
What You Need (Move Fast!)
Popeyes is much stricter than McDonald’s or Burger King. You have to move quickly.
-
The Receipt: It needs to be brand new.
-
The Clock: Important: You only have 2 days (48 hours) to take the survey. If you wait 3 days, the code won’t work.
-
A Pen: You need this to write down the prize code.
Step-by-Step: How to Get the Free Chicken
I’ve done this many times. It’s very straightforward if you follow the steps.
1. Go to the Official Website www.tellpopeyes.com
Open your browser and type: www.tellpopeyes.com.(Note: Make sure you are on the official site. It usually has the orange and white Popeyes branding).
2. Enter the Receipt Details
Look at your receipt. You need to type in a few numbers:
-
Restaurant Number
-
Time of Visit
-
Date of Visit
-
Total Amount Spent
- TellPopeyes.com – Popeyes Guest Survey
Sometimes, there is just a single long Survey Code. If you see that, type it in. If not, use the store details listed above.
3. Answer the Questions
Click “Start.” The survey asks simple things:
-
“Did the team member greet you?”
-
“Was the restaurant clean?”
-
“How was the taste of your food?”
Be Honest. Whether your chicken was perfect or cold, let them know. They use this data to grade the store manager.
4. Get Your Validation Code
This is the moment of truth. When you finish the questions, a Validation Code will appear on your screen.
Do not close the page!
5. Write It Down
Grab your pen. Look at your receipt (usually on the back or near the bottom). There is a space that says “Validation Code.” Write the numbers there.
6. Go Get Your Food
Next time you are hungry, go to Popeyes. Order a Large Drink (that is usually the requirement) and hand them the receipt. They will give you your Free 2-Piece Chicken & Biscuit.
The Rules (The “Catch”)
To make sure you don’t get rejected at the counter, remember these 2026 rules:
-
The 48-Hour Rule: You must take the survey within 2 days. This is the most common reason people fail. Do it as soon as you get home!
-
“With Purchase” Rule: The coupon is usually “Free Chicken with the purchase of a large drink.” You can’t just walk in and get chicken for $0.00. You have to buy a soda.
-
One Per Visit: You can only use one coupon per order.
-
Expiration: Once you write the code down, the coupon is usually good for 30 days.
Why Should You Do This?
Think about it. A 2-piece chicken meal costs about $5 or $6. A large drink costs about $2.50.
By spending 2 minutes on the survey, you are saving about $3 or $4 on your lunch. That adds up if you eat there often!
So, next time you get that receipt, don’t crumple it up. It’s the easiest way to get that famous Louisiana crunch for cheap.
