Program Description

 

My Rewards is a way in which we reward and thank loyal Carl’s Jr. customers. My Rewards members (“you” or “Members”) are able to earn and accumulate points (“Stars”) that can be redeemed for My Rewards benefits ("Rewards") at participating Carl’s Jr. restaurants (“Restaurants”).  Not all of our Restaurants have the ability to participate in My Rewards and provide or accept Rewards at this time. The Rewards are void where prohibited.

Members can earn Stars to be redeemed for Rewards by logging into their User Account and placing an order in our Carl’s Jr. App or Website or my scanning your QR at the counter or pickup window before you pay for your order. Stars are earned through qualifying purchases or other opportunities that may be presented, such as participating in activities or events, multipliers, challenges and more. Stars for “other activities” will be awarded as described in the promotion and are subject to their own terms. Stars, Rewards and benefits are non-transferrable, have no cash value, and are not redeemable for cash or gift cards.

Once a Reward is redeemed, Stars will be subtracted from your User Account immediately when an order is checked in. All Reward claims are final. 

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 lunch or dinner item cannot be redeemed 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 us or a franchisee in their sole discretion.
