Best Fast Food Gift Cards to Give and Receive

A gift card is one of the best ways to ensure someone gets what they want, not what you think they want. Gifting a fast food gift card tells someone that you know a bit about where they like to eat and you want them to enjoy a meal or coffee on you. When you redeem your Fetch Points for fast food e-gift cards, you can treat friends, family or even yourself to lunch or dinner without having to spend a dime.

Check out some of the most popular free fast food gift cards available from Fetch below.

Why fast food gift cards make great gifts

Fast food gift cards are convenient, spending just like cash at your favorite restaurants. It’s good to have a gift card or two on-hand that can be gifted when you’ve got an unexpected event to celebrate:

• Slide one into a birthday or thank you card.
• Gift the high school graduate with a few to fund college life.
• Make them stocking stuffers during the holidays.

Gift cards for fast food restaurants make some of the best gifts for college students away from home, when you want to make sure your kids are eating decently without coming off as a helicopter parent.

If you’ve got a last-minute gift, a fast food e-gift card can arrive in email or over text in seconds, which is great for people who prefer to go digital. With just a few taps in the Fetch app, you can quickly and easily turn your points into a fast food e-gift card.

Top fast food gift cards available on Fetch

When it’s time to redeem your Fetch Points for a fast food gift card, you’ve got no shortage of options. We’ve got a rundown on some of the most popular fast food e-gift cards available in the app to make it easier for you to decide (be sure to check our fast food restaurant hacks to get the most out of your gift card, too).

Burger King

Swing through the Burger King drive through for staples like the Whopper or Bacon King, some of the only flame-grilled burgers you’ll find on the go. Are you a fan of fast food breakfast? Burger King is one of the only fast food gift cards that can serve up French toast (sticks) for you in the morning, too.

With options from morning to midnight, a Burger King gift card makes a great gift for anyone you want to give an extra meal or two to.

Chipotle

You could be dining for one or ten and have no trouble satisfying everyone with a fast food gift card to Chipotle. Their Mexican-inspired menu has a degree of spiciness for all ages and stomachs, with a simple cheese quesadilla for the picky eater or a delicious barbacoa burrito for a taste you won’t find at another quick service restaurant. Vegetarians and vegans don’t have to settle, either; in addition to swapping meat for guacamole, you’ll also find tofu-based sofritas.

Domino’s Pizza

Who wants to make dinner after a long day? Domino’s Pizza is one of the best fast food gift cards when you need to feed the whole family without going out of your way. Build your own pizza on thin, hand tossed or handmade pan crust, or choose from a dozen specialty pizzas like the Wisconsin 6 Cheese or the ExtravaganZZa. And all it takes is a $20 gift card to order a pair of sandwiches and sodas for lunch.

Don’t forget to use your Domino’s Pizza gift card in their app so you can earn points toward a free pizza.

Dunkin

If you aren’t the daily Dunkin drinker in your life, you know who is. When you redeem your rewards for a fast food e-gift card to Dunkin, it’s as simple as copying the gift card code and adding the balance to your account in the app. From there, it’s just a few taps until you’ll have a Dunking $6 Meal Deal or a Cocoa Mocha Signature Latte waiting for you at the window. 

You’ll still find plenty of donut options and breakfast sandwiches, too, making Dunkin the go-to for on-the-go folks any time of the day. Dunkin gift cards are the perfect gift for a coffee lover, and we won’t tell anyone if you’re giving that gift to yourself.

Panda Express

When you give someone a fast food gift card to Panda Express, you can trust at least one thing they’ll be spending it on: orange chicken. This signature chicken dish might remind some of General Tso’s chicken, but Panda Express uses a secret sauce you won’t find anywhere else. Fill out that two-entree plate with other signature items like black pepper steak or honey walnut shrimp for a full lunch or dinner.

With so much on their menu and family-sized takeout options, Panda Express gift cards are the smart choice for anyone who loves Chinese food.

Panera

Do you already know your You Pick 2 order? Or do you know someone who needs that cinnamon crunch bagel for breakfast when they’re having trouble getting started in the morning? Panera has breads, sandwiches, soups and sweets for anyone, which makes them a smart fast food gift card choice. College students can fuel up on unlimited coffee while knocking out a paper, families can grab a quick and easy lunch and office heroes can bring a box of bagels for their coworkers.

Papa John’s

Papa John’s can deliver you dinner after a long day or serve up their unique Papadia sandwiches for a pizza-inspired lunch. Specialty pizzas like the new Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust or the classic Super Hawaiian make Papa John’s a go-to gift card for pizza lovers. 

With something for everyone, it’s hard to think of a person who wouldn’t appreciate a Papa John’s gift card.

Smashburger

With Smashburger, you know what you’re getting from the name: a burger smashed thin and seared to perfection. Break up your day with a Spicy Jalapeño Smash, a Truffle Mushroom Smash or a Classic Smash (all available as a single or double, of course). Turn a fast food gift card to Smashburger into a sweet surprise with a hand-spun milkshake made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

Smashburger walks the line between convenient and decadent, making it a great fast food gift card for the burger lover in your life.

Sonic

A fast food gift card to Sonic is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. Sonic not only has unique menu items but also a unique atmosphere you won’t find at other burger restaurants. Go for Carhop Classics like a Fritos Chili Cheese Wrap, the signature cherry limeade or just a well-made burger served up on thick Texas Toast.

With a menu ranging from hot dogs to burgers to their iconic Toaster sandwiches, a fast food gift card to Sonic is great for anyone who likes that throwback carhop vibe with a fully modern menu.

Starbucks

Whether you love your coffee black or your iced caramel macchiato with extra whipped cream and caramel drizzle, Starbucks gift cards are a versatile option for coffee lovers, offering access to a wide range of beverages, snacks, and merchandise. For this reason, they make great gifts for the teen in your life, your significant other, or even for yourself (gotta have that afternoon treat)!

Steak ’n Shake

How many fast food gift cards have their most popular menu item right there in the name? Order a steak(burger) and shake at Steak ’n Shake and join the millions who have been making the restaurant their go-to fast food burger since 1934. The menu has expanded quite a bit since then, but the most popular items are still variations on the classic. Pair a Frisco Melt with Steak ’n Shake’s unique thin cut fries and a gourmet shake like the Reese’s Chocolate PB to see why so many people choose Steak ’n Shake (and why it makes a great fast food gift card for friends or family).

Subway

Few fast food gift cards will give someone exactly what they want the way one for Subway will. While the classic sub sandwich restaurant has plenty of signature subs like The Philly or The Outlaw, you get the final say on everything. Pick your bread, meats, cheese and toppings to personalize your sandwich to what you want to eat right at that moment. Pair it with a couple of fresh-baked cookies and a soda to make a meal out of it.

Personalizing your sandwich means getting exactly what you want to eat; who wouldn’t love a fast food gift card that gives them exactly what they want?

Taco Bell

The Mexican Pizza is back. The Grilled Stuft Burrito never left. The Cantina Chicken menu offers plenty of lighter options. Taco Bell should be one of your first thoughts when you want quick and easy Mexican food, and it’s pretty easy to feed the whole family with one fast food gift card. If you’ve got a kid at home (or anyone with a sweet tooth), don’t forget those cinnamon twists when you’re going through the drive-through on the way home.

Uber Eats

When you don’t want to leave the house and your favorite restaurant doesn’t deliver, Uber Eats is there. While all of the fast food gift cards we’ve mentioned make great gifts when you simply want to give a meal or two to someone, Uber Eats gives the added benefit of getting that meal delivered. Kick your feet up, watch your favorite team or show and wait for dinner to arrive. Or you can get coffee delivered when you’ve got a deadline to hit and can’t leave the office.

Uber Eats is the fast food gift card for the person with a unique taste (or whose taste you might not know yet), letting them get just what they want from wherever they want.
