GYG Free Double Protein: The Promo That Ran to 5 April 2026

What the free upgrade covered

It applied to a la carte Mini and Regular mains, dine-in and pickup, ordered through the GYG app. Doubling means the filling goes from 100g to 200g, which on a burrito bowl is the difference between a snack and lunch. Tacos and cheese quesadillas were excluded, and it could not be stacked with other promos or with bundles like the Mini Meal, Friends Fiesta or Family Fiesta. A minimum of one a la carte main was required. That exclusion list is why a few people turned up expecting it on a Family Fiesta and left annoyed.

What it costs now that the promo is over

Double Protein did not disappear when the free window closed, it became a permanent paid add-on. The top-up is $3.50 on a regular main and $2 on a mini. Seven fillings are eligible, including grilled chicken, steak, slow-cooked pulled pork, ground beef, pan-seared barramundi, and the plant-based options, pulled shiitake and sauteed vegetables. $2 for double the filling on a mini is the quiet best-value item on that menu and nobody talks about it. If you are hunting this kind of thing, our student meal deals list and SG61 deals roundup are the same job done properly.

The lesson for the next one

GYG runs app-only promos regularly, and the pattern is consistent: app members first, a la carte mains only, no stacking. Which means the account is the thing worth having before the next one lands, not the promo code on the day. Free protein upgrades tend to arrive around the start of the year and around new menu launches.
