Deals Worth Knowing at Both

Burger King

The BK app runs near-permanent BOGO Whopper and 2-for-$10 offers; paying board price for a Whopper is close to a mistake.
The $5 Your Way Meal covers a Whopper Jr., nuggets, fries and a drink for less than a Whopper alone.
Onion rings cost the same as fries at $3.39 medium and are the more distinctive side — Burger King is one of the few national chains to carry them.

Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A One is one of the few genuinely strong fast-food loyalty programmes: points on every order, a free item at low thresholds and frequent app-only offers.
A 12-count of Nuggets at $7.79 works out to $0.65 per piece against $0.79 for a 5-count — the sensible order size for anyone eating properly.
An Icedream cone at $1.85 is the cheapest dessert at any major chain, and a large sweet tea at $2.79 undercuts most drive-thru drinks.
