September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day, and on this very special Monday, Burger King is ringing in National Cheeseburger Day by offering a beefy freebie to customers across the country.

As NBC’s Today Show reports, on the big day, members of the chain’s Royal Perks loyalty program will be able to score a free cheeseburger with any purchase of $1 or more. It is, indeed, that easy.

But wait, there’s MORE! Burger King says the “flame-grilled fun doesn’t stop there.” The chain’s initial National Cheeseburger Day offer officially will kick off “Perks Week,” where the glossy-faced and perpetually smiling Burger King will offer customers a full week of special offers, which include, free cheeseburgers, Whopper Jrs and more:

  • Day 1 (Sept. 18): One free cheeseburger with any purchase of $1 or more.
  • Day 2 (Sept. 19): Score a free Whopper Jr with any purchase of $1 or more.
  • Day 3 (Sept. 20): On Whopper Wednesday, customers can ring in Hump Day with a flame-grilled Whopper for $3.
  • Day 4 (Sept. 21): Thursday’s offer is BOGO — buy one Whopper get another for free.
  • Day 5 (Sept. 22): Get one free order of Onion Rings with any purchase of $1 or more.
  • Day 6 (Sept. 23): Purchase a Family Bundle for $22.
  • Day 7 (Sept. 24): Finally, on Sunday, get double reward, earning two times the Crowns (Royal Perks points) on all purchases.
