But Auntie Anne\u2019s? That one\u2019s real.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">I can practically taste that aggressive mall waft of sugar, cinnamon, butter, and hot dough hitting you from three storefronts away. The grease shining on your fingers, the crackly sugar-cinnamon coating fused to the pretzel\u2014if I ever choked to death on an Auntie Anne\u2019s nugget, honestly, what a delicious way to go.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So I don\u2019t take National Pretzel Day lightly.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">To mark the occasion on April 26, Auntie Anne\u2019s is giving away a free Original or Cinnamon Sugar pretzel to loyalty members all day long. The offer is available through the Auntie Anne\u2019s Rewards app and can be redeemed in-store or online at participating locations.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But Auntie Anne\u2019s is also dangling something a little more dangerous for those true believers.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Starting April 19, the chain is selling a Golden Pretzel Pass for $50 at participating stores while supplies last. The pass gets you one Original or Cinnamon Sugar pretzel every week for a <em data-node-id=\"6.1\">full year<\/em>, which is either a fantastic value or the beginning of a deeply personal co-dependent pretzel relationship, depending on how you want to look at it.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The pass <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auntieannes.com\/rewards\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.auntieannes.com\/rewards\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"has to be activated\" data-node-id=\"7.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">has to be activated<\/a> through the Auntie Anne\u2019s Rewards app, and once that happens, you unlock a pretzel that day and then one more each week for the next 52 weeks. If you\u2019ve ever changed direction in a mall just because you caught a whiff of buttered dough, this one was made for you.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">That free pretzel offer on April 26 is open to both new and existing rewards members, so this isn&#8217;t one of those situations where only longtime app people get to have fun. The Golden Pretzel Pass, though, is much more limited, so anyone eyeing a year of warm carbs may want to move with some urgency.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Auntie Anne\u2019s clearly knows what it\u2019s doing here. Free pretzels get people in the door. A yearlong pretzel pass is how you keep them thinking about their next one.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read Auntie Anne\u2019s is giving rewards members a free Original or Cinnamon Sugar pretzel on April 26 for National Pretzel Day.
