Points are not the same currency across chains. Compare what a reward gets you and the eligible spending it takes. These examples start from zero at the entry earning rate, without bonuses, taxes or excluded purchases.
| Programme | Entry earning rate | Example reward | Calculated spending | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burger KingRoyal Perks: Crowns, rewards and expiry | 10 Crowns/$1 | 200-Crown reward tier200 Crowns | $20.00Eligible spend, not reward value | Crowns earned in the same calendar month share an expiry: the first day of the month following the sixth month after earning. Redeem by the previous day; do not wait until the expiry date. |
| SubwaySub Club (US) | 10 points/$1 | Subway Cash400 points | $40.00Eligible spend, not reward value | Points expire after six months without qualifying account activity. Earning points or redeeming rewards resets that period. Coupons retain their own stated expiry. |
| ChipotleChipotle Rewards | 10 points/$1 | Side tortilla85 points | $8.50Eligible spend, not reward value | Points expire after 365 days without a qualifying purchase. Claimed rewards generally last 60 days unless their individual terms set another date. |
What changes the value?
Your membership tier
Some programmes earn faster after qualification. Each chain guide lets you select an existing tier and enter your current balance.
Your ordering channel
Delivery rules differ. McDonald’s supports reward redemption through its own delivery ordering; Wendy’s published delivery FAQ excludes its rewards. Check the chain-specific rules.
