II. EARNING POINTS
2.1. General
Members can earn points on the amounts they spend on qualifying purchases via mobile order in the App, via online order on the Wendy’s website, and via scanning their Member QR code during checkout at participating Wendy’s restaurants. Points for any qualifying purchase can only be credited to one account. No splitting of orders or points.
2.2. Basic Earning Rate
Members earn one (1) point for every 10 cents spent on the purchase of qualifying products in qualifying transactions at participating restaurants. Purchase amounts are rounded up to the next 10-cent increment. For example, a qualifying purchase of $4.13 will earn 42 points, and a qualifying purchase of $8.79 will earn 88 points.
2.3. Exclusions
Calculation of Wendy’s Rewards points is based solely on the purchase price actually paid for qualifying menu items, minus all discounts, and excluding amounts paid for tips, gratuities, delivery charges, gift cards, charitable donations, and taxes. Points cannot be earned on purchases made through third-party delivery services, such as DoorDash, GrubHub, or UberEats, etc. Wendy’s may exclude any menu items from counting as qualifying purchases by disclosing at the point of purchase that such items are excluded. All purchases made by a Member prior to joining the Program are not eligible for Program credit, except for same-day enrollment and qualifying purchases.
2.4. Timing of the Addition of Points to Accounts
Generally, points are automatically added to a Member’s Program account within 48 hours after completion of the qualifying purchase, though it may take up to two weeks for posting of points. Point balances are visible via the Member’s MyWendy’s account in the App or at my.Wendys.com.
2.5. Cancellations/Refunds
If you cancel an order for which you earned points, or have such an order refunded, any points associated with that order will be deducted from your Program account. This can cause a Member to have a negative points balance.
2.6. Bonus Point Promotions
From time to time, Wendy’s may run certain bonus point promotions. Under bonus point promotions, Members can earn additional or “bonus points” for completed actions and purchases. Bonus point promotions are subject to the terms and conditions of the offer, along with these Terms, and may be offered at any time in Wendy’s sole discretion. Bonus points may not be available for otherwise qualifying transactions claimed after an in-restaurant purchase.
2.7. Claiming Points After an In-Restaurant Purchase
If you forget or are unable to scan your Member QR code from the App during checkout when making a qualifying purchase at a participating Wendy’s restaurant, you still may seek to claim points for that purchase, subject to the following requirements and limitations on after-the-fact claims:
(a) The points request can be submitted with a photo of the purchase receipt by completing the form found at https://www.wendys.com/rewards-receipt-submission-form.
(b) The points request must be submitted within 24 hours of the purchase. Late submissions will not be accepted.
(c) Limit one (1) submission per 24-hour period, and four (4) submissions per calendar month, per Member.
(d) Each submission is limited to a maximum of 100 points, regardless of the amount of the purchase shown on the receipt, and the total points available for submissions of after-the-fact claims are limited to four hundred (400) per Member in any calendar month.
(e) Each claim must be submitted exactly as described above, and must include at least the following information: valid email address associated with the applicable
MyWendy’s account; Member first and last name; date of transaction; time of transaction; store number of transaction; amount of transaction minus any taxes and fees; and a clear image of the receipt. Wendy’s reserves the right to deny any claims that it determines in its sole discretion do not meet all requirements. Please allow up to 14 days for claims to be reviewed and processed.
2.8. Points Disputes
If you believe that a purchase (other than a purchase covered by Section 2.7 above) should have resulted in the addition of points to your account, and such points are not posted to your account within two weeks after the purchase (“Points Dispute”), please notify us immediately at 888.624.8140. We will use reasonable efforts to investigate your Points Dispute so long as you notify us of such dispute within 90 days of the purchase. If you do not notify us within 90 days, you will have waived your right to make a Points Dispute with respect to that purchase. In order for us to undertake an investigation of your Points Dispute, we may require you to provide written confirmation of the Points Dispute. If we do not receive the requested written confirmation at the address and within the time requested, Wendy’s may determine in our sole discretion not to investigate your Points Dispute. Upon completion of our investigation and our resolution of your Points Dispute, we will have no further responsibilities should you later reassert the same Points Dispute.
2.9 Points Expiration
Points expire 365 days from the day they were posted to your account. No credit or cash will be given for unused or expired points.
III. CLAIMING/REDEEMING REWARDS
3.1. General
Points earned by a Member may be used to claim Rewards in the App or at my.Wendys.com. All Rewards are in the form of the value of menu items or designated discounts on future purchases. The Rewards available at any given time can be viewed by logging into the Rewards Section of the Program in the App or at myWendys.com. Rewards are subject to change or removal at any time in Wendy’s sole discretion.
3.2. Claiming a Reward in Your Account
To claim an available Reward, you must have in your Program account at least the number of valid and unexpired points required for the desired Reward. Points will be subtracted from your account immediately when a Reward is claimed. Your oldest available points will be subtracted first. All Reward claims are final. No returns or refunds of points used to claim a Reward. In addition to these Terms, each reward is subject to terms and conditions as stated on the specific Reward. Points accumulated on different Member accounts may not be combined or aggregated to claim Rewards.
3.3. Redeeming a Reward
To redeem a Reward on a purchase, you must either present the valid Reward on the App at a participating Wendy’s restaurant when paying for your order (for in-person transactions), or be logged into your MyWendy’s account and follow the instructions to apply your Reward to a purchase (for in-App or website transactions). The value of the Reward you redeem may be applied to the item itself or as a discount proportionally across all items in the order for which you use the Reward, based on the type of Reward. You are responsible for applicable sales tax, which may vary based on the item(s) in your total order. Limit one Reward redemption per transaction. A Reward for the value of a free menu item can be redeemed with no additional purchase required. Some offers may not be exercised in combination with redeeming Rewards.
3.4. Restrictions/Exclusions
A Reward for the value of a specific menu item can be redeemed only when the specific menu item is available at the participating restaurant where you seek to redeem the Reward. For example, a Reward for the value of a breakfast item can be redeemed only during breakfast hours. If a menu item is discontinued or unavailable at a participating restaurant, the holder of a valid Reward for the value of the menu item may be allowed to redeem the Reward for an alternate menu item of equal or lesser value, as determined by Wendy’s or its franchisees in their sole discretion.
IV. GENERAL
4.1. Binding Terms
By joining the Wendy’s Rewards Program, you agree to be bound by these Terms and all terms applicable to your use of Wendy’s websites and mobile app, including but not limited to Wendy’s Privacy Policy, and the terms and conditions for my.Wendys.com related to arbitration of disputes and limitation of liability.
4.2. Modifications/Termination of Program or Terms
Wendy’s reserves the right to cancel, modify, or restrict any aspect of the Program at any time, including, without limitation, the earning rate, conversion rate, and expiration policy for all points and Rewards. Notification of changes will be given in the App and at my.Wendys.com. Wendy’s may make these changes even though such changes may affect the Member’s ability to use points or Rewards already accumulated. You are responsible for remaining knowledgeable about the Program Terms. Continued participation in the Program after any posted change(s) constitutes your acceptance of the change(s).
4.3 Account Balances
Wendy’s reserves the right to determine the amount of points in any Member’s account based on Wendy’s internal records related to the Member’s account. In the event that there is an inconsistency between the points accrued in your account and what you believe you should have based on your purchase receipt(s), please contact us at 888.624.8140. Wendy’s assumes no responsibility for errors caused by incorrect Member information. All decisions by Wendy’s on reconciliation of account balances are final and binding.
4.4 Abuse by Member
Wendy’s may revoke any Member’s membership at any time if the Member engages in abuse of the Program or fails to follow these Terms. The sale of points or Rewards is prohibited and may result in the confiscation or cancellation of your points and/or Rewards as well as suspension or termination of your membership or MyWendy’s account, which in each case shall be final and conclusive. Wendy’s employs various internal and external fraud prevention tools to monitor fraudulent activity associated with Member accounts and may deduct points or cancel Rewards if Wendy’s determines, in its sole discretion, that points or Rewards were obtained fraudulently or were associated with purchases made by someone other than the account holder. In addition, fraud or abuse relating to the accrual of points or the claiming or redemption of Rewards may result in revocation of your membership in the Program and may affect your eligibility for participation in any other Wendy’s programs.
4.5 Promotional Program Only
Points and Rewards are purely promotional offers, do not constitute property of any Member, are non-transferable, have no cash value, and cannot be redeemed for cash or gift cards. No portion of any qualifying purchase constitutes consideration paid for any points, Reward, or other promotional benefit.
4.6 Notice of Financial Incentive Retention of Personal Information
Wendy’s collects personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and a password, to operate Wendy’s Rewards and provide you with associated benefits. Members may also provide Wendy’s with additional personal information if you choose to do so. We do not sell personal information we collect as part of the Wendy’s Rewards program. We may disclose this personal information to the vendors who help us administer Wendy’s Rewards, such as our payment processors.
You automatically opt into Wendy’s Rewards when you sign up for a MyWendy’s account. You can terminate your Wendy’s Rewards and your MyWendy’s account at any time by emailing us at customercare@wendys.com or calling us toll-free at 1 (888) 624-8140. Please note that both must be terminated together. You are not required to have a MyWendy’s account or participate in Wendy’s Rewards to order from us.
