Frequently Asked Questions

About the 2013 Cow Calendar

Where can I buy a 2013 Cow Calendar?

2013 Cow Calendars are available for purchase at Chick-fil-A Restaurants nationwide beginning in November 2012. Calendars may also be available from participating community organizations as a fund-raiser (school bands, sports teams, etc.) as early as August 2012. But hurry, because Calendars are only available while supplies last!

Don't live near a Chick-fil-A? We'd love to be closer to you. But until then, Cow Calendars are also available at www.shopchick-fil-a.com beginning in November 2012.

Calendars purchased from any other outlet, especially online auction sites, cannot be guaranteed as authentic.

May I purchase multiple 2013 Calendars?

Yes, multiple Calendars can certainly be purchased. However, each Calendar Card must be activated with a separate and unique email address. No email address may be used for more than one promotional card activation.

For purchases of ten or more, please contact the Operator at your nearest Chick-fil-A Restaurant. (Click here to locate the Restaurant nearest you.)

Each recipient of a 2013 Cow Calendar will need to activate his or her own card using his or her own email address. After all, nobody re-gifts chicken!

May I substitute a Calendar promotional card offer for another product of similar value?

Calendar Promotional Card offers are valid only for the product(s) specified. However, if you have special requests about the featured item, such as no pickles on our Original Chicken Sandwich, or if you prefer Diet Coke® instead of Coca-Cola®, we are more than happy to honor them. For the record, though, we're rather fond of the pickles.

Why does the 2013 Cow Calendar have a plastic card instead of paper coupons?

We know it can be difficult to keep up with paper coupons for an entire year. They get wrinkled, forgotten, or worse, lost. So we’ve put a new twist on the familiar magnetic stripe card. Using this existing technology in a new way enables us to better serve you. Now, if you lose your 2013 Calendar Card we can replace it (if the promotional card was previously activated online). And who knows, this new use of technology might even enable us to serve up a few surprises.

If the above response does not answer your question, click here to submit your question to Chick-fil-A CARES

I already purchased a 2013 Cow Calendar. (Hooray!) But where is my promotional card?

The promotional card is secured in a plastic pocket inside the front cover, just before the month of January. Every card is sealed during production to prevent tampering. Do not purchase a Calendar with a compromised plastic pocket, as the card may have been tampered with.

Why do I have to activate my promotional card?

Just as when a new credit or debit card arrives in the mail, the 2013 Calendar promotional card must be activated prior to use. As well as being required for offer redemption, activation has several benefits:

  • If your online-activated promotional card is ever lost or stolen, we can (and will gladly!) replace it. Click here for details regarding the process for replacing lost or stolen cards.
  • You can easily track which offer is currently on your promotional card, as well as view past history of where and when previous offers were redeemed.
  • You'll have the opportunity to sign up to receive:
    • Email reminders to redeem your promotional card offer each month.
    • Exclusive insider information and details on upcoming events and promotions.

Plus, this new use of technology might even give us the opportunity to serve up a surprise or two.

Please note that loss/theft replacement, reminder functionality, offer inquires and other enhancements cannot be accommodated for phone-activated cards.

I used to be able to redeem Calendar coupons whenever I wanted. Why can't I redeem an offer on the 2013 Calendar promotional card earlier or later than the month specified?

In order for us to be able to continue the Cow Calendar program into the future, our policy around Calendar offer redemption needed clarification.

Since 1998, the Cow Calendar has been designed to give you an opportunity to be our guest for a free featured menu item each month of the year. 2013 Calendar promotional cards have offers consistent with previous Cow Calendars and still serve this same purpose.

I don't want to activate my promotional card. Can't I just tear off the bottom of each Calendar page and bring it in instead?

What's printed at the bottom of each Calendar page is not a coupon and cannot be redeemed at a Chick-fil-A Restaurant for any product. The only way to redeem 2013 Calendar offers is to activate the included promotional card. If you do not have internet access or need assistance activating your promotional card, please call 1-855-285-2321.

If the above response does not answer your question, click here to submit your question to Chick-fil-A CARES

I bought a 2013 Cow Calendar for my grandmother/little brother/friend, but they don’t have an email address. How can they activate their card?

Those without internet access may call 1-855-285-2321 to activate their card. Activating a card over the phone will allow each monthly offer to be redeemed.

However, loss/theft replacement, reminder functionality, offer inquires and other enhancements cannot be accommodated for phone-activated cards. Please note that only one 2013 Calendar promotional card may be associated with any given phone number.

How does someone under the age of 13 activate a 2013 Cow Calendar promotional card?

Unfortunately, due to legal restrictions, we are not able to collect personal information from those under the age of 13. Because our card activation process requires a certain amount information to complete, children under the age of 13 cannot activate their own promotional cards. However, a parent or guardian can activate a card on a child's behalf as long as the phone number or email address used has not already been associated with another 2013 Cow Calendar promotional card.

What if there are multiple people in my household who share an email address and/or phone number? How will we activate multiple cards?

Every 2013 Cow Calendar promotional card must be associated with a unique email address or phone number to complete the activation process. Any combination of legitimate phone numbers and/or email addresses may be used to activate promotional cards for members of a single household.

For example, say a household consists of 3 members who all purchased or were given a 2013 Cow Calendar. Their 3 cards could be activated via the applicable telephone or online activation system using any combination of the following:

  • Cell Phone Number(s)
  • Traditional Landline Telephone Number(s)
  • Email Address(es)

Please note that loss/theft replacement, reminder functionality, offer inquires and other enhancements cannot be accommodated for phone-activated cards.

Will I be able to redeem offers before or after the month they are featured?

May I redeem an offer from my promotional card in the drive-thru?

Calendar and/or Card Replacement

I lost my phone-activated card. Why can’t it be replaced?

We’re sorry that your phone-activated card has been lost or misplaced. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to replace it because our phone activation system does not capture the same level of information as our online activation system. One of the primary benefits of activating a promotional Calendar Card online is loss/theft replacement.

Miscellaneous Questions

May I return a Calendar I purchased?

We hope that this doesn’t happen, but we will gladly refund your purchase price through December 31, 2012, provided that all three of the following criteria are met:

  • Returned to the Chick-fil-A Restaurant where purchased
  • Accompanied by the original register receipt
  • In original condition with all seals intact and the unused promotional card in place

Because each Chick-fil-A Restaurant is individually owned and operated, all three criteria need to be met in order for us to accept the return of a Calendar and issue a refund.

Calendars purchased through a fund-raiser are final sale.
