Glad you asked! The Shmear Society is the Einstein Bros. rewards program. By becoming a member of the 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 on the Einstein Bros. Bagels mobile app 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/Check Shmear Status”

A “check-in” is when a Rewards member identifies themselves by showing the store team member the barcode on the app or by providing their phone number at the register prior to a purchase. This ensures you will earn credit for your visit and 2 points per $1 spent.

Based on the number of Points in your account, you can redeem for things like brewed coffee, bagels & shmear, egg sandwiches and more. To redeem points towards one of these rewards, go to “My Rewards” in the app menu. Under ‘Redeem It’ select ‘Redeem Now’ for the reward you want to use your points for. Once you have confirmed, your reward will be loaded to your account and you will have 14 days to use before the reward expires. To use a loaded reward from our points menu, scan your barcode when ordering in-bakery or tap ‘Add to Mobile Order’ to begin ordering and using the reward through the app. Note that some rewards can only be used when ordering in-bakery.

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

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.

Good news! You don’t need your email from us to redeem rewards - now 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 Einstein Bros. 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.

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