For their latest promotional item, Burger King are doing their typical buy one, get one free app-only coupon. This time it's the Rebel Whopper, which uses a plant-based patty. Note that although the patty itself which comes from v2foods AFAIK contains no animal derived products, it isn't suitable for strict vegetarians let alone vegans as it's cooked on the same grill as their beef patties. https://www.burgerking.co.nz/menu-item/rebel-whopper.

Price was my local store's price. Yours may vary. Coupon single use per Burger King account as they always are for BOGO deals.

To be clear, you need to use the app for this. You also need to either order over the app or at the counter, not as kiosks unless they've changed. And you have to put up with the occasional weirdness of the app. I don't personally have major problems, but others have reported some stores not being able to accept orders. (Their app seemed to break on New Year's eve. But mostly it works for me except for those odd occasions where it refuses to let me check in and I have to move around or keep trying or cancel and remake my order. I have had some other problems in the past, and maybe it still doesn't work after midnight.)

  BTW I tried the Rebel Whopper today. The smell, texture look and taste is clearly different from beef. For me, beef clearly wins on taste. Still it wasn't bad.

  Also as a quick hattip. If your coupon ever disappears because you started using it then the app got confused it and lost it, try clearing data on Android phones. Look online if you don't know how, or probably just uninstalling and reinstalling the app will also work. (Although you will need to download the app again.)

  Thanks for sharing! I'm interested to try it. Wonder how it compares to the Maccas veggie burger. I found that one fine in a pinch, but kind of dry and not very flavourful - works better if you add pickles and more sauce.

  The best I have tasted is Burger Wisconsin Hungry Planet burger. Better than Burgerfuel.

    Will have to give them a try then. I thought the Burgerfuel one was pretty decent so BW should be awesome.

  I tried one and it was a joke. May as well have used cardboard. Still tastes better than their normal "meat" burgers though.

  Tried this out, and honestly couldn't tell the difference between a whopper unless i tried really hard to nitpick. Not bad _b

  Tried it today, and it is not the same, but it is tasty and can have it again.

  Burgerking is so shittier now days, used to be good but their fries always limp, onion rings are shit, burgers bland.

    Problem with these places is that they just slap the burger together without enough sauce, i been a few times but i try to check out the back as i have seen them make my burger without gloves,not that its a bad thing but rather they use gloves especially with their hygiene standards.

  Won't let me redeem in the app, I guess they ran out of patties or something

    Don’t know with your specific case but app worked for me, ordered 2 x Rebel Burgers and paid for pick up.

    However, when I got there and was told they were out of stock. They said they couldn’t give me a refund since I had ordered by the app but could give me a beef whopper instead. I declined and demanded a refund but they just said “the app has nothing to do with us” and to take it up with their head office.

    I then used the contact us via the app to email them only to get an auto reply saying the email address did not exist. Bit of a joke. Suffice to say, won’t be returning to BK.

      I agree it's crappy, but I would just contact them via their website, or if you use it, Facebook. The refund issue is I think common with a lot of app ordering with franchises.

  Still says "item not available"

    FYI you have to be near a BK branch for the coupons to work. Also enable GPS/location function.

  I tried yesterday with several West Auckland restaurants and Queen Street and had the same thing. The burger seems to be marked as not available. This means you cannot order in app. Assuming they have stock, you should be able to order in store by showing the coupon with the short code. (Click redeem in store.)

  I'm not sure but I suspect they are having supply issues with the patty. I think restaurants may be able to mark an item as not available but most of them have no idea how, so they've probably turned it off once and won't be turning it back on even when they get stock unless they're confident of no more supply. This avoids issues like that encountered by moschops but does mean you cannot use in app ordering. It may also mean you'll have staff wondering why you seem to have a one use coupon multiple times, if you try that although I suspect most don't know and even those that do, won't care.

  Of course it's also possible all those restaurants I tried are out of stock.
