Hardee’s is giving away free breakfast biscuits to drivers running low on gas, launching a new promotion called “Running on Full” that ties a near-empty fuel gauge to a complimentary meal. With gas prices up over a dollar from a year ago according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the quick-service chain says the deal is meant to ease pressure on household budgets by putting its Made from Scratch™ Biscuits in customers’ hands at no cost.
How the Running on Full Promotion Works
From June 18 through July 2, 2026, members of the Hardee’s My Rewards™ program can submit a photo of their fuel gauge reading at or below a quarter tank to www.hardees.com/runningonfull. Once the entry is verified, Hardee’s will award a complimentary Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit or Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit.
- Entry window: June 18 through July 2, 2026
- Verified entries awarded starting June 18
- Redemption deadline: October 31, 2026
- Redeemed through the Hardee’s app
What’s on the Free Breakfast Menu
The promotion covers two breakfast biscuit options, both built on Hardee’s Made from Scratch™ Biscuit.
- Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit: crispy cherrywood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese
- Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit: grilled sausage patty and egg
Why Hardee’s Launched the Deal Now
The promotion comes as rising fuel prices squeeze household budgets across the country. Hardee’s is positioning the free biscuits as a way to keep customers fueled at breakfast even as the cost of fueling up their vehicles climbs.
