Why the Deal Matters

Dairy Queen’s first location opened in Illinois in 1940. The Blizzard, first introduced in 1985, quickly became one of the chain’s signature items.

This promotion celebrates two milestones:

The company’s 85th year in business
The 40th anniversary of the iconic Blizzard dessert

It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy a popular dessert at a fraction of the usual cost.

Quick Tips for Redeeming the Offer

Make sure your DQ app is updated to the latest version.
Double-check your location is participating in the promotion.
Open the app’s Deals tab and scan the code at checkout.
If a scanner isn’t available, use the 5-digit manual code.

For added convenience, check your local DQ store hours before heading out.

Dairy Queen’s 85-cent Blizzard deal offers more than just savings. It’s a limited-time way to revisit a dessert that’s stood the test of time—or try one of the upcoming summer flavors.

Mark your calendar between March 25 and April 6 to make the most of this anniversary promotion. Don’t forget your app and that $1 minimum purchase.
