The Einstein Bros. Rewards Program (“Shmear Society”) is the Einstein Bros. Brothers brand rewards program. By becoming a member of the Einstein Bros. Rewards Program (Shmear Society Rewards Program), you can earn 2 points per $1 spent and use your points when and how you want to! You can redeem your points towards rewards for things like bagels, baked goods, egg sandwiches, brewed coffee and more!

Log into your mobile app and sign-up for emails to get access to exclusive information about new products, promotions and offers including a bagel and shmear with purchase for signing up and an egg sandwich with purchase on your birthday!

You can join the Shmear Society by going to rewards.einsteinbros.com/join. Input your email address and phone number and click “Join Rewards”.

A “check-in” is when a Rewards member visits an Einstein Bros. Bagels bakery and identifies themselves as a member. This can be done by showing the store team member the barcode on the Einstein Bros. Bagels app, showing the barcode from an associated email, or by providing their phone number at the register prior to making a purchase.

For app and online ordering, members can identify themselves by successfully logging into their account on the Einstein Bros. Bagels website or in the app. Members should use the same login credentials for both the app and the website.

Checking in ensures that members will earn credit for their visit. Members will earn 2 points per whole $1 spent. All rewards can be redeemed online or in the app. However, only selected rewards are currently available for redemption at the bakery.

To redeem points for rewards, you can use the app, the website, or in-bakery.

  • In the app, go to “My Rewards” and select “Redeem Now” for the reward you want.
  • On the website, log in and select “Rewards” from the menu bar.
  • In-bakery, check in with the cashier to see which rewards are available.

Only rewards that can be redeemed from your points balance will be available. Once you confirm, your reward will be loaded to your account and you will have 14 days to use it before it expires.

To use a loaded reward, “check-in” when ordering in-bakery, or tap “Add to Order” to begin ordering and use the reward through the app or online.

Here are some additional things to note:

  • Members must select the desired reward to redeem their points to make it available for use. Once available, rewards may be used on applicable orders.
  • Not all rewards are available in all locations.
  • Some rewards can only be used when ordering in-bakery or online.
  • You can check your points balance and available rewards in-bakery, in the app or on the website.

All rewards and offers through the program are unique, and carry anywhere from a 1 – 14 day redemption period. Please refer to the communication for details pertaining to the reward / offer, or reference your mobile wallet in-app or online.

If you have no activity on your Brand Program account for six (6) months, the points in your Brand Program account (no matter when they were earned) will expire and will no longer be available for redemptions. “Activity” is defined as a “check-in” or a Points Reward redemption at a participating location of the Brand associated with your Brand Program account.

You can earn as many points as you want and save them for future use. Remember to check-in each time you visit so you don’t let your points expire.

Depending on where you live, we may or may not have locations in your area that participate in the Shmear Society Rewards program. Some locations do not accept offers so you may not get emails from us if the only nearby locations are licensed locations which are located in airports, hospitals, college campuses, military bases and hotels.

Good news! You don’t need your email from us to redeem rewards - you can redeem rewards in-store with your phone number. All you need to do is provide your phone number to the cashier when you visit your local participating Einstein Bros. Bagels location and advise them you would like to redeem a reward. The cashier will look up your account and confirm what rewards you qualify for. You can also use our app and show the barcode on your screen once you log in!

At this time our Einstein Bros. Bagels licensed locations do not accept coupons or gift cards. These locations are usually located in airports, hospitals, college campuses, military bases and hotels.
