Free food with your credit card, October 2026

Updated 35 deals4 min readBy Simone Celestial, Co-founder, Jetzets

Yes: on 26 October 2026, 35 credit card promos come with a free dish, drink or dessert, including up to 55% off and free pasta at CIBO (BDO) and free 1-pc Chickenjoy with rice at Jollibee (UnionBank). Below are the biggest 18, from four banks, the top 10 first, ranked by the size of the offer; tara has the other 17.

Not every good deal is a discount. These promos give you something free with your meal: a dessert, a drink, a side or a whole extra order. They are easy wins when you are eating there anyway, so it pays to know which ones are on.

If you only try one

Pick the one you would order anyway. A free dessert or drink is only a deal if you were going to eat there; the best free-item promo is the one at a place already on your way. Open it in tara to see what you need to order.
