The program works by simply collecting points via the [Wendy's app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-holiday-bogo-deals), which can be used for unlocking specific rewards including menu items and more. Users will accumulate 10 points for every $1 they spend on food, as well as the ability to earn added bonus points on specialty items. The Wendy’s Rewards program is being celebrated by the brand by offering customers double the points on their first order, but only for a limited time. Consumers will be automatically rewarded when placing orders via the smartphone app, but will need to flash the QR code within the app when ordering at the counter or the drive-thru.
