Tax Day Freebies and Deals in Wichita

If you’re a little grumpy and sleep-deprived this time of year, you’re not alone. But as soon as the paperwork is neatly filed away (or hurtled across the room – whatever your filing method), take yourself out for some tax day freebies and deals to celebrate the end of the tax season.

Some of the deals are only valid on April 15; others are good before and after. All of these deals are “EZ” to love! We’ll update the list as more deals come in, so make sure you check back often.

As is always the case, please double-check on these deals before you order. Sometimes a location doesn’t participate in a national deal.

Past Deals

Kona Ice – Find a Kona Ice truck on April 15 and they’ll help you “chill out” – literally and figuratively – with FREE Kona Ice!!! Helpful hint: visit the company’s location finder; at the time of this writing, it looks like Emprise Bank locations in South Wichita and East Wichita in south and east Wichita will be hosting the truck. I liked their slogan from a couple years ago, “No taxation without relaxation” LOL! More info: Kona Ice Chill Out Day

Arby’s – We won’t ask if you’re completely truthful on your taxes, but Arby’s asked an X user to allow herself to be hooked up to the “Try Detector Test” as a way of promoting a month of free sandwiches in April. You still have a few weeks to get the deal, which does require a purchase and signing up for Arby’s rewards program. More info: Arby’s.com/deals

BJ’s Restaurant and Brew House – is the current promo code 10OFF40 a subtle reference to the IRS’ Form 1040? I can neither confirm nor deny, but this code will get you $10 off a dine-in, take-out, or delivery order of $40 or more. More info: BJ’s 10 off 40 promo deal

Great American Cookies – Although they’re not trying to sugar-coat Tax Day, this buy one get one free offer sweetens the deal. On April 15, buy one slice of cookie cake and receive a second slice free. This might be great if you’re married filing jointly… or you can keep the second slice for yourself. We’ll keep it under the table. More info: Great American Cookie tax day press release

Straight Talk – In case ‘Tax Breaks’ means you’ve gotten so frustrated you throw your phone across the room (don’t do that), this offer lets you get a free Samsung Galaxy A14 by signing up for the Straight Talk Extended Silver Unlimited Plan.

These are tax day deals Wichita saw in previous years. Some may “return” again!

Firehouse Subs has celebrated the end of tax season by offering guests a FREE medium sub with the purchase of an additional medium or large sub, chips and a drink on Tax Day. There was a coupon at  FirehouseSubs.com/TaxDay and it was available only on tax day and in-restaurant only. Not valid online or with delivery orders. Print or show on smartphone to redeem. Not valid with any other offers, coupons, or rewards.

Planet Fitness often offers a free workout and free Hydromassage with coupon. If it comes back, the stress-relief tax day coupon might be available starting April 15 at PlanetFitness.com/Hydro and should be valid at any Planet Fitness location nationwide – just ask at your location. Here’s the previous press release

Marble Slab Creamery: It is still a good idea to Chill out on Tax Day! Marble Slab Creamery has offered a super chill deal in the past with a BOGO deal for loyalty members on tax day. No telling whether this deal with return on April 15.

Noodles & Company – We’ve heard that Noodles & Company is offering a tax day discount of $4.15 for Rewards members this year.

All-Star Wichita once had a Tax Day sale on April 15. A “Pick 3” attraction pass only cost $10.40 instead of the regular $19.99 so you could take your little deductions out for some after-school fun. No word yet on that deal returning.

Cici’s Pizza historically eased the tax day burden on 4/15 with an adult pizza buffet for only $4.15. Unlimited pizza and endless cinnamon rolls were probably an effective – if not super healthy – way to drown your tax day sorrows. You did need a coupon to get the deal.

Smoothie King’s Healthy Rewards app had a Tax Day deal to save you some green with $2 off any smoothie April 15-17, 2019. You did need to use the app to get the deal.
