Ice cream enthusiasts across the nation have reason to celebrate today as Häagen-Dazs shops host their annual Free Cone Day. The premium ice cream purveyor is offering complimentary scoops to members of its loyalty program at participating locations throughout the day.
The promotion, which runs Tuesday, May 13, allows loyalty members to receive one free scoop of their favorite flavor in either a cup or cone with no purchase necessary. According to multiple freebie-tracking websites, customers must be registered with the Häagen-Dazs Sweet Rewards program via the company’s mobile app to take advantage of the offer.
“Loyalty members get a FREE scoop on May 13th—no purchase needed,” confirmed the promotional materials for the event. Ice cream lovers who aren’t yet members shouldn’t despair; signing up for the Sweet Rewards program takes just minutes, and new members receive a complimentary mini cone or cup after their first purchase.
While some reports indicate the giveaway will take place during specific hours from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., others suggest the promotion runs throughout regular business hours. Customers are advised to call their local Häagen-Dazs shop to confirm participation and timing before visiting.
The annual Free Cone Day has become a beloved tradition for the premium ice cream brand, which offers dozens of flavors from classic vanilla to more adventurous options like honey salted caramel almond.
For those who don’t live near a Häagen-Dazs shop, the Sweet Rewards program still offers other benefits, including a free treat on members’ birthdays and points that accumulate with every purchase toward additional complimentary items.
Häagen-Dazs operates shops in 28 states across the country, with multiple locations in major cities. In New York City alone, the company maintains shops in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
This sweet promotion comes as summer approaches and ice cream season kicks into high gear, offering customers a taste of premium desserts without the premium price tag.
