Caribou Perks®
Yes. You will need to use the Caribou Coffee app or the website to redeem points for things like complimentary brewed coffee, size upgrades, and more. To do this, just view “My Rewards” in the app or access “My Account” on CaribouCoffee.com.
A “check-in” is when a Caribou Perks member identifies themselves by showing the store team member the barcode on the Caribou Coffee app, ordering ahead in the Caribou Coffee app, or when a member provides their phone number at the register prior to purchase. It is also considered a “Check-in” when a member successfully checks out on CaribouCoffee.com while signed into their Caribou Perks account.
Please contact our Guest Relations team via customerrelations@cariboucoffee.com, by calling 1.888.227.4268 or via chat. Please give them the details of your visit (e.g. what store, the date and your ticket amount).
If you are attempting to log into your Caribou Perks account and can’t remember your password you can reset your password from the login screen. The Caribou Coffee app will email you to reset your password for security purposes. If you are already logged into the app, you can change or update your password from the “Update Profile” section of My Account. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to the Guest Relations team.
Select “More” and then “Update Profile” in the Caribou Coffee app or within Account details of CaribouCoffee.com.

Caribou Perks® points
Caribou Perks members will earn 2 points for every $1 spent on purchases at participating U.S. Caribou Coffee locations when they “check-in” and pay with their Caribou Coffee app or order ahead with the Caribou Coffee app. Caribou Perks members will earn 1 point for every $1 spent for checking in at the register or drive-thru and using cash or credit/debit card to pay. This does not include the purchase of gift cards or eGift cards.
If you don’t have any activity or a “Check-in” in your Caribou Perks account for six months, the points in your account (no matter when they were earned) will expire and will no longer be available for redemption.
“Activity” is defined as a check-in/visit or a reward redemption in a Caribou Coffee store in the U.S. or CaribouCoffee.com
You will be able to see your points balance on the Caribou Coffee® app, within your account on CaribouCoffee.com, or if you are opted into emails and push notifications. In addition, your Caribou Coffee team member who checks you in at the store will also be able to see your point balance.
The points you redeemed the reward for will be deducted from your account balance. However, the reward will still be in your account and can be used up to 14 days (about 2 weeks) after you redeemed your points for the reward.
