To celebrate National Root Beer Float Day on Aug. 6, A&W is giving away free floats at stores across Canada. But there are a few steps you’ll have to take to enjoy this deal.

First, the promotion is only available for A&W Rewards members exclusively through the A&W mobile app. To redeem your free float, you’ll need to download the A&W mobile app, create an account, and then check your “offers” section to redeem your float by either ordering ahead in the app or scanning in-restaurant. Additionally, a minimum $2 purchase before tax is required to redeem your free float.

This comes hot off the heels of A&W reintroducing the beloved summer treat to stores across Canada.

“This summer, we wanted to do something extra special to celebrate the return of our beloved A&W Root Beer Floats. Whether you’re stopping by during a summer road trip or looking for a sweet escape from the heat, make sure to mark Aug. 6 on your calendar to get a taste of greatness for free!” said Susan Senecal, CEO and president of A&W Canada.
