Dunkin Donuts - Revised Rewards program in CA (soon in other states)
-
Dunkin Donuts recently revised their rewards program. The new changes have taken place in CA and they say they will soon rollout to other states.
Under the old program, you earned a free beverage for every 200 pts. Now you apply pts to various items. (I prefer the old program – it was a better deal. But the new program has variety.) Screen shots of details:

Birthday reward changed too – no more free drink. Instead, you get 3X points on purchases for one day. That one day is within 2 days of your birthday. New program is a big disappointment.

Thanks for this info @kimi , yes, disappointing and a joke.
Now I can get a large iced latte for 200 points, going up to 700??? TRIPLE? even a large iced coffee is 500 now.
even with the points doubling to 10pt/$1 it still is about double the points on a large iced latte.
as for the Birthday freebie, another sham, 3x points is worth what? an extra 80 points on a $4 spend? CHEAP!

@mistercheap Yep, DD is being cheap. McD’s birthday reward is a free bakery item (muffin, cinnamon roll, etc) . DD should give a free donut, at the very least.

The rewards program change and its reaction from customers made the Wall Street Journal today:

Also, as an aside, Starbucks gives an extra 25 bonus stars for every paid purchase if you bring in a reusable mug/cup/container, in addition to a 10 cent or 5 cent discount. They started that for earth day and still give it out.
You can rack up a free drink from Starbucks relatively quickly by signing up for email offers, some weeks you get two offers and they always stack if you meet the terms of both offers.
