Rewards FAQ
Q: WHAT IS SHARI’S REWARDS?
A: Shari’s Rewards is Shari’s NEW tiered membership program that gives guests the ability to earn points with every purchase. Members can earn points by placing an order online at sharis.com, ordering through the Shari’s Rewards app, or after scanning the barcode on the bottom of their receipt when dining in. Points can be used to redeem available rewards and advance through tiers based on spend. There is no cost to join and anyone over the age of 18 who creates a Shari’s Rewards account is eligible to participate. You can learn more about the perks of membership at sharis.com/rewards
Q: HOW DO I CREATE A SHARI’S REWARDS ACCOUNT?
A: You can create a Shari’s Rewards account by downloading the Shari’s Rewards App or by visiting sharis.com/rewards. You can choose to sign-in with Facebook, Apple, or create an account with your email address. Enter the required information to complete account creation. Upon account creation, an email welcoming you to Shari’s Rewards is sent to your email address.
