The $3 Frosty tag is one of our favorite Wendy’s deals all year. A one-time purchase for $3 and you get a free 6-ounce Jr. Frosty with any purchase for a year. And, like the Wendy’s Boo Books, purchases of the tag benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption — a nonprofit dedicated to finding homes for children waiting in foster care in the United States and Canada.
You can grab a physical Key Tag at your favorite Wendy's location or you can get a digital version on the Wendy's app. There’s no limit to how many Key Tags you can purchase, so these make a great little gift to treat co-workers, neighbors, or friends while giving back to the community.
Each tag will likely cost $3. Although that’s $1 more expensive than we saw in previous years, it’s cheaper than buying just two Jr. Frostys. Yep. Use it twice, and it’s paid for itself.

KCL predicts the next Wendy's Key Tags will be for sale on Nov. 18, 2024.
We expect the Key Tags to go on sale — in stores and on the app — on Monday, Nov. 18, 2024.
In 2023, They went on sale on Monday, Nov. 20, and were available through Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, in 2024 (which was wayyy longer than in previous years). And in 2022, they went on sale on Monday, Nov. 21 — this is how we made our 2024 prediction.
Note: For every $3 Key Tag sold, $2.55 goes directly to the Dave Thomas Foundation, helping find safe, permanent, and loving homes for children in foster care.
How can I purchase a Frosty Key Tag?
Wendy’s Frosty Key Tags are available in stores and in the Wendy's app. You can purchase a physical Key Tag in person or a digital Key Tag through your Wendy’s Rewards account for $3 each.
Just ask your cashier or navigate to the “Give Something Back” section of Wendy’s online menu to get a Key Tag. You can purchase as many physical Key Tags as you’d like, but digital Key Tags are limited to one per Wendy’s Rewards account. (You can also buy the Key Tags in bulk via the Dave Thomas Foundation website.)
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use your physical Key Tag for your Wendys.com orders or your digital Key Tag for your in-person purchases. But you could buy one of each to cover your bases — it’ll only cost $6 and pays for itself if you buy four Frostys in a year.
How often can you use your Frosty Key Tag?
Digital Key Tags can be redeemed once per hour and physical key tags once per transaction.
There’s no official time frame for how often you can get a free Frosty with the physical key tag. In theory, you could get one free Frosty in the drive-thru and then pull back around and order another one with your physical key tag in a separate transaction. It’ll depend on your cashier.
The digital key tag gives you a coupon in the Wendy’s app, and once you use it, you’ll get another coupon an hour later.
How can I earn more free Wendy’s Frostys?
The best way to earn free Wendy’s Frostys is by joining the Wendy’s Rewards program. You’ll earn 10 points for every $1 spent at Wendy’s, and when you earn 150 points (or $15 spent), you can redeem your points for a free Jr. Frosty. Plus, you’ll get a free Jr. Frosty as a birthday reward.
These are just a few of the Wendy’s menu deals that can get you discounts on your next Frosty.
