DD Perks and Dunkin' Mobile App enhancements

The Dunkin' Donuts Mobile App, which enables guests to pay for food, beverages and merchandise at participating U.S. Dunkin' Donuts restaurants by scanning their DD Cards stored in the app either in-store or at the drive-thru, was introduced in 2012. The DD Perks Rewards loyalty program followed in January 2014, and is fully integrated into the Dunkin' Mobile App. The DD Perks Rewards program provides guests the opportunity to earn five points for every dollar they spend on qualifying purchases at Dunkin' Donuts when they pay using an enrolled Dunkin' Donuts Card, either plastic or via the Dunkin' Mobile App.

Following are the new enhancements to DD Perks and Dunkin' Mobile App:

Members will now receive a coupon for a free, any size beverage, redeemable at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants, upon enrollment, on their birthday, and when they accumulate 200 reward points. Previously, members received a free medium beverage.
Members now have the opportunity to share their rewards through the Dunkin' Mobile App with friends, family and colleagues to keep them running on Dunkin'.
Users can now sign up for auto-recharge directly through the Dunkin' Mobile App, guaranteeing that they will always be able to use their mobile cards to quickly and easily purchase their favorite Dunkin' Donuts items.
