How to get Dairy Queen free cone?
On Free Cone Day, customers simply need to walk into a DQ location to get one small vanilla soft-serve cone for free. However, it is important to note that the offer is available at participating locations only and not for delivery through the DQ Rewards mobile app.
The free cones are limited to one per customer and will be available while supplies last. You can find your nearest participating restaurant on the company’s official website or its mobile app.
