The Second Cup Café 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 SC Coffee Canada Inc. or its subsidiaries, licensees 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 when purchasing Second Cup products, which Points may be used in accordance with these Terms towards free Rewards (as defined below) at participating Second Cup locations. It is possible that some Second Cup locations may not be able to participate in the Rewards Program. A full listing of participating cafés can be found by visiting secondcup.com and viewing our Find a Café section (collectively, “Participating Locations“).
These Terms apply to your access to, and participation in, 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 Rewards 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. The Second Cup Gift Card terms of use are detailed herein at section 9 below.

You are responsible for ensuring that you can receive messages or notifications from Second Cup at the contact information you provide.

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 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 Location 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 https://cws.givex.com/cws4.0/secondcup4/check-balance/ 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. However, Points accumulated within the Rewards Program may expire six (6) months after the month during which they were accumulated or such longer time period prescribed by law. For example, if you made a point-accumulating purchase on February 15, 2023, these points will expire on September 1, 2023. The oldest Points will be used first to redeem for a Reward.
A notice will be sent to you at least 30 days, but no more than 60 days before your Points are set to expire advising you that (i) there has been no activity in your account for almost six (6) months or such longer time period prescribed by law, (ii) that the Points that have been in your Account for almost six (6) months or such longer time period prescribed by law are set to expire; (iii) the Points expiration date and (iv) the number of Points expiring on that expiration date.
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.
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 are for promotional purposes only and 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. The term “inactive” means that no Points have been accumulated during that one (1) year period. If your Reward Card or Account becomes inactive or its registration is revoked, all Points accumulated in your Account will be declared void. 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 participants may redeem their accumulated Points in accordance with this section:
- Lover Reward. 250 Points on a Rewards Card may be redeemed for a free small, brewed coffee or tea (“Lover Reward”) made using the standard recipe from a Participating Location.

- 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 an Enthusiast Reward, the transaction results in 500 Points being redeemed for the Enthusiast Reward and 7 Points will remain on your Rewards Card.
- 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.
- A Lover Reward is not applicable on multi-serving portions, (coffee travelers, etc.).

Second Cup reserves the right to change or suspend, at its discretion and at any time, the number and type of additional offers. To receive such redemption offers and incentives via email, you must be opted in for email communications from Second Cup.
- Limitations. Your redemption of points earned through the Rewards Program cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts, unless otherwise expressly stated by Second Cup.
