Do Wendy's Rewards Points Expire?
Yes. Wendy's Rewards points expire 365 days after the day you earn them. When you redeem, Wendy's uses your oldest points first, so steady ordering keeps your balance from lapsing.
Claimed rewards have a shorter clock: they expire 30 days after you claim them, unless the reward says otherwise. Only claim a reward when you plan to use it within the month.
How Many Points Per Dollar at Wendy's?
Wendy's Rewards earns 10 points for every $1 you spend on food in the Wendy's app, on Wendy's online ordering, or when you scan your QR code at the counter or pickup window. Points usually appear within two hours.
Taxes, fees, tips, coupon discounts, redeemed rewards, and orders placed in third-party delivery apps do not earn points.
