1. Program Overview

The Second Cup Coffee Co. Rewards ("Rewards Program") is our way of saying thanks to you, our customers, for being loyal Second Cup patrons. The Rewards Program is a loyalty program which is operated by The Second Cup Ltd. or its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, "Second Cup") and is open only to legal residents of Canada. The Rewards Program allows participants who register in accordance with these Terms of Use ("Terms") to present their Rewards Card to collect Points, which may be used in accordance with these Terms towards free rewards at participating Second Cup locations. A full listing of participating cafés can be found by visiting secondcup.com and viewing our Find a Café section (collectively, "Participating Locations").

The Rewards Program may change as provided in rule 8 of these Terms.

These Terms apply to your access to, and participation in, the Rewards Program. Your participation in the Rewards Program and/or your use of a Rewards Card confirms your acceptance of these Terms and any changes or modifications, as provided for below; therefore, you should review these Terms and applicable policies frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Rewards Program. If you do not agree to the Terms, you must stop participating in the Rewards Program.

These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Second Cup for products, services or otherwise. For greater certainty, you may also use your Perks Card as a "Gift Card", which you may load with cash to use toward future purchases at Participating Locations. The use of the Rewards Card as a Gift Card is separate from the use of the Rewards Card to participate in the Rewards Program, and is governed by the Second Cup Gift Card terms of use. You may view the Second Cup Gift Card terms of use here.

Please read our Privacy Policy here carefully to understand how Second Cup collects, uses and discloses information about customers.

        To sign-up for the Rewards Program, and begin earning Rewards Program points ("Points") simply visit a Participating Location and ask for a Rewards Card, or directly create your Account ("Registration") by visiting secondcup.com/rewards. If you use our mobile Program and payment application, you may also complete your Registration, keep track of your Points and Rewards, monitor and add to your Account balance, and make mobile payments using the mobile application in accordance with our Terms. Before you may earn Points on a Rewards Card, as provided in rule 4 of these Terms, you must register your Rewards Card and create an Account.

        The registration process may require that you use the registration form to provide information such as: Rewards Card Number, First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Password and Marketing Preferences.

        You must advise us immediately of any changes to the information you supply to register in the Rewards Program or in the event you lose your Rewards Card by visiting secondcup.com/rewards. Second Cup will not be liable for any misdirected email or other communications, including any notices under these Terms, or for any consequences thereof, if your Account information is inaccurate or no longer valid. You are responsible for ensuring that you can receive messages or notifications from Second Cup at the contact information you provide. If we believe that some of our records are inaccurate, we may contact you to verify our records. We reserve the right to cancel any Account for which we determine we have incomplete or inaccurate information and in such a case any Points or Rewards (defined below) associated with such Account and the Rewards Cards associated with it may be forfeited. The submission of false or fictitious information may result in all Points or Rewards associated with such Account and the Rewards Cards associated with it being forfeited.

        All Rewards Program registrations are subject to verification at any time and for any reason. Second Cup reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity and/or eligibility (in a form acceptable to Second Cup – including, without limitation, government issued photo identification): (i) for the purposes of verifying an individual’s eligibility to participate in the Rewards Program; and/or (ii) for any other reason Second Cup deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of administering the Rewards Program in accordance with these Terms. Failure to provide such proof to the satisfaction of Second Cup in a timely manner may result in the cancellation of your Account and in such a case any Points or Rewards (defined below) associated with such Account and the Rewards Cards associated with it may be forfeited.

         

        4. Earning Points

        Rewards Program benefits are determined based on the amount of money you spend on eligible purchases at Participating Locations. All purchases at Participating Locations are "Eligible Purchases" with the exception of promotional purchases that Second Cup indicates are not eligible for participation in the Rewards Program, and the purchase of or loading of Gift Cards. For greater certainty, an Eligible Purchase for which you pay using a Gift Card does earn Points.

        You must present your Rewards Card at the time you pay for your Eligible Purchase to earn Points. No Points will be rewarded if you present your Rewards Card after your purchase is completed.

        For each pre-tax dollar, rounded to the nearest $0.10, you spend at a participating Second Cup you’ll earn 10 Points. For example:

        • If you spend $4.60 you’ll earn 46 Points.
        • If your spend includes a cent interval between $0.01 - and $0.04 the calculation of your Point total will round down to the nearest $0.10 increment. For example, if you spend $4.63 you’ll earn 46 Points.
        • If your spend includes a cent interval between $0.05 - and $0.09 the calculation of your Point total will round up to the nearest $0.10 increment. For example, if you spend $4.67 you’ll earn 47 Points.

          At any point during the Rewards Program, Second Cup may issue special promotions that alter the rate at which Points are earned, such as Point Multipliers, Bonus Points, or other promotional offers on certain products, services, days, or portions of any day. Second Cup may make such promotional offers to all Rewards Program participants, or any subset of them, in its sole and absolute discretion. We may communicate issuance of these promotional offers via secondcup.com/rewards, the Second Cup Mobile App, and/or other means available to Second Cup. These Terms shall apply to such offers, along with any additional terms and conditions that accompany the offer, unless you are notified otherwise.

          You can view your accumulated Point balance at any time by visiting secondcup.com/rewards and logging in to your Account using your Registration information. Additionally, you may ask the sales associate when presenting your Rewards Card at a Participating Location for your balance, or for a Rewards Program transaction receipt.

          Gift Card balances do not expire.

          In the event you return all or any part of an Eligible Purchase (as permitted under the then current Second Cup return policy) for which you earned Points, the Points earned in respect of such return shall be deducted from the Rewards Card used to make the returned purchase. This may cause the Point balance on your Rewards Card to become negative.

          Points are for promotional purposes only and have no cash value.

          All decisions of Second Cup with respect to Points (including, without limitation, the accuracy of a participant’s Point total and/or the validity of any Points) are final and binding on all participants without right of appeal. Points have no cash value and are not exchangeable for cash. Points have no value outside of this Rewards Program. Points cannot be sold. Points cannot be assigned, transferred, exchanged, traded, bartered, purchased, bequeathed, given by gift except as may be permitted by Second Cup in its sole and absolute discretion. Any Points acquired in violation of these Terms are void. The accumulation of Points does not entitle the participant to any vested rights, and Second Cup does not guarantee in any way the continued availability of any reward or any other benefit.

          All Points are subject to verification at any time for any reason. Second Cup reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to invalidate any Points it deems to have been awarded in error, or as the result of any fraudulent activity, or any activity not in keeping with the letter and/or spirit of these Terms, as interpreted by Second Cup in its sole and absolute discretion. Any Points that cannot be verified to the complete satisfaction of Second Cup are subject to disqualification. Second Cup will not be liable for the failure of any Points to be captured or recorded for any reason.

          As may be permitted under the applicable law, Points are reduced to zero (0) upon closure of an Account (regardless of the reason for Account closure). Upon the death or a participant, the associated Account will be closed and any Points in the Account will be forfeited. Points are reduced to zero (0) upon the termination of the Rewards Program. We may terminate your Account, this agreement with you, and reduce your Points to zero (0), if your Account becomes and remains inactive for a period of one (1) year or more, or any longer period specified by applicable law. If due to printing, production, online, internet, computer or other error of any kind, more Points are claimed or credited to a Rewards Card or Account than intended to be distributed according to these Terms (including without limitation any Bonus offer terms), then, in addition to having the right to terminate the Rewards Program immediately, Second Cup reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to rescind invalid Points claims, or to deduct such invalid Points from the applicable Rewards Card(s).

           

          5. Redeeming Points

          Participating Rewards Program members may redeem their accumulated Points in accordance with this section:

          1. When you reach 500 Points on a Rewards Card, you are eligible to receive a Free Beverage Reward ("Free Beverage Reward") from a Participating Location. A Free Beverage Reward consists of any beverage at a Participating Location, of any standard size, made using the standard recipe, with modifiers.
          2. When you reach 1000 Points on a Rewards Card, you are eligible to receive a Free PinkberryReward ("Free Pinkberry Reward") from a Participating Location. A Free Pinkberry Reward consists of any Pinkberry product at a Participating Location, of any standard size, made with or without toppings.
           
          3. When you reach a total of 1,500 Points on a Rewards Card, you are eligible to receive one (1) pre-packaged bag of whole bean coffee, up to 340 g size, from a Participating Location (“Free Whole Beans Reward”). 
           
          4. Free Beverage Rewards and Free Whole Beans Rewards are collectively “Rewards”. When you redeem a Reward, the Points balance on your Rewards Card will be reduced by the number of Points required to obtain the applicable Reward. 
          5. Any Points in excess of the amount redeemed for the Reward will remain on your Rewards Card and can be applied to subsequent transactions. For example, if you have 507 Points on your Rewards Card, and redeem a Free Beverage Reward, the transaction results in 500 Points being redeemed for the Free Beverage Reward and 7 Points will remain on your Rewards Card.
           
          6. To redeem a Reward, present your Rewards Card to the sales associate at the time of purchase, and inform the sales associate that you’d like to use your Reward.
           
          7. A Free Beverage Reward is not applicable on multi-serving portions, (coffee travelers, etc.).
           
          8. Additional personalized or special redemption offers or incentives may be distributed via email, promoted in-café, or made available via secondcup.com/rewardsthat may add additional manners in which you may redeem Points. These Terms shall apply to such offers and incentives, along with any additional terms and conditions that accompany the offer, unless you are notified otherwise. To receive such redemption offers and incentives via email, you must be opted in for email communications from Second Cup.
