Here’s how to get free Taco Bell on Thursday thanks to the Bucks

Thanks Bucks!

Not only did the Milwaukee Bucks win an NBA title on Wednesday.

They won all of America free tacos from Taco Bell, joining the list of athletes and teams who have done so over the years.

Thanks to the chain’s latest promotion — if a either team in the NBA Finals came back from trailing at halftime, Taco Bell would give out free Flamin’ Hot Doritos Locos Tacos — Thursday is the day you can cash in and get yourself some free food.

How does it all work? What are the rules? Glad you asked. We’re going to answer all of that for you right now.

When can I get my free taco?

On Thursday, July 22, all day during store hours. You can do it in stores, through the drive-thru or on the app, per Taco Bell … but not with delivery.

Is it a Doritos Locos taco yet again?

Actually, to be precise, it’s a free Flamin’ Hot Doritos Locos taco!

But! Also, via a release: “Fans redeeming via the restaurant will be able to select their choice of a Flamin’ Hot Doritos® Locos Tacos, a Nacho Cheese Doritos® Locos Tacos, a Crunchy Taco, or Soft Taco all day on July 22.”

What’s the difference between a Doritos Locos taco and a Flamin’ Hot Doritos Locos taco?

The shell of the taco adds some serious spice.

Any caveats?

It’s while supplies last, so keep that in mind.

So, how do we claim the free Taco Bell tacos that Mookie Betts won us?

Want that free taco that Mookie Betts won by stealing a base in the World Series? We have your guide here.

Mookie Betts won America a free taco on Tuesday night, when he stole a base in the World Series. This is actually the second time he’s done this, because Mookie Betts is a base-stealing hero who loves his country and wants to get us free tacos.

I imagine many of you woke up this morning hankering for that free taco, and are curious about how and when you can get your hands on one.

Well, unfortunately, you’re going to have to be patient.

According to the official rules of the “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion (a name that seems a bit ingenuous considering Taco Bell is just handing these suckers out and not asking you to literally steal them), you will have to wait until a to-be-announced “Redemption Date” to get the taco.

In 2019 for this promotion (thanks Trea Turner for stealing a bag), the redemption date was October 30, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long.

After they announce the date, the way you can claim your taco is to create a free account with either the Taco Bell mobile app or via their website.

You order the taco through there, get credit for the free one, then go and pick it up. (Sadly, the promotion isn’t available for delivery.)

Then, you’re done. You did it.

Here’s how to get free Taco Bell on Tuesday, March 31

This is nice!!

Normally, we do posts on free Taco Bell when the chain does its “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion at the World Series, or the “Steal a Game, Steal a Taco” thing they do for the NBA Finals when a road team wins a contest.

But in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic as we’re all in isolation and quarantine, Taco Bell decided it didn’t need a special event to give out a free taco to customers on Tuesday, March 31.

So as we do with these sorts of promotions, here is how you can get a free taco on Taco Tuesday:

How can I get my free taco?

The fine print tells us it’s available at participating U.S. locations “only for drive-thru redemption,” which of course is a way to help with social distancing. Please note it’s NOT available for delivery.

When can I get my free taco?

The promotion is for during “local store operating hours.”

Is it a Doritos Locos taco once again?

Yup! Specifically, a seasoned beef nacho cheese Doritos Locos taco.

Can I get more than one free taco?

No! It’s one (1) per customer.
