Like any other nationwide give-away by a corporate chain, there are two key points to consider: not every location of every chain is participating, and some locations will have huge lines at all the usual times—and may even run out of the free goods. If you pass by a certain store every day, it's probably worth checking in, but if you'd have to go out of your way, a quick call or check of the local news sites to see if they're participating is definitely worth your time. We've done our best to indicate below when a franchise has, in particular, noted that participation in a give-away is on a store by store basis.


This list also sticks to chain stores with national presence, or at least large regional coverage. If you've seen a promotion that we missed, be sure to tell us in the comments.
