Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings Runs Member Appreciation Month

— April 8, 2026 — Marketing
Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings has designated April as Member Appreciation Month for its Bite Club Rewards program. This initiative offers a series of exclusive weekly deals, an upgraded birthday reward, a national sweepstakes, and a new referral incentive throughout the month.

Members who refer a friend receive free fries with any cheesesteak purchase made by that friend, while eligible participants will now get a free small cheesesteak on their birthday. Weekly limited-time offers available only to reward members include free Real Fruit Lemonade with any purchase of one dollar or more from April 13th through the 15th, and free Cheese Fries with any purchase of one dollar or more from April 20th through the 22nd.

As part of Member Appreciation Month, Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings is running a national sweepstakes beginning April 15th and giving away Visa and Charleys gift cards, with additional entries earned through successful referrals.
