- Get the costumes ready early. Several offers require children or adults to arrive dressed up.
- Join rewards programs before October 31. Chipotle, QDOBA, Freddy’s, and other restaurants may require a membership.
- Check the fine print. Some deals require an adult entrée, a minimum purchase, or ordering through an app.

- Confirm with the Columbia location. Franchise participation can vary, and some offers may have exclusions.
