10. Loyalty Points Terms

The Club Grill loyalty programme (“Points”) is provided at our discretion and forms part of the Services. By using the App you agree that:

a) Earning Points – Points are earned when you personally pay your bill at a participating location and present your App details. Points are typically earned at 10% of your spend unless otherwise advertised.

b) Expiry of Points – Points expire at the end of each calendar month unless you have earned new Points during that month. Expired Points cannot be reinstated.

c) Redemption of Points – Points can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases (1000 Points = £10 off, unless otherwise stated). Points cannot be exchanged for cash.

d) Ownership of Points – Points are not your property. They cannot be transferred, sold, gifted, combined between accounts, or exchanged for cash. Points always remain the property of The Grill Pub Co.

e) Eligibility of Spend – You may only claim Points for purchases you have personally paid for. Claiming Points for transactions paid by others is prohibited and may result in suspension or permanent deletion of your account and forfeiture of all Points.

f) Misuse and Fraud – We reserve the right to cancel Points, suspend or delete accounts, or refuse redemption where we reasonably believe misuse, fraud, or a breach of these terms has occurred.

g) Amendments and Termination – We may amend or terminate the Points scheme at any time without prior notice, including altering earning and redemption rates or expiry rules.
