Dutch Bros has more than one way to get a free drink, and your birthday is only one of them. There’s a welcome reward for new app members, a birthday drink and drinks you can earn with points. The deadlines are different, though, so check which reward you’re using before planning your next Dutch run.
New app members can get a free medium drink
Dutch Bros currently advertises one free medium drink when you sign up for Dutch Rewards through its app. This offer is for new loyalty accounts only, according to the footnote on its official Rewards page.
The welcome reward expires 14 days after registration. Downloading the app again doesn’t make an existing account new, so this isn’t a repeat freebie for current members.
Your birthday drink gives you more time
If you already have the app, Dutch Bros says your birthday reward appears on your birthday. Sign up on the birthday itself, and the reward arrives the following day.
The birthday reward is available for 30 days, so you don’t have to squeeze another stop into your actual birthday. Current program terms cover one drink up to 32 ounces.
To redeem it at the shop, scan your Dutch Pass and tell your broista you’d like to use your birthday reward.
Regular purchases can earn another free drink
Earned rewards work differently from the welcome and birthday offers. Dutch Bros awards three points per qualifying dollar spent at participating shops. Its published reward options are:
- 250 points: a free medium drink.
- 325 points: a free drink of your choice.
Check the app’s current redemption options before exchanging points. Gift card purchases and reloads, merchandise, taxes, tips, donations and reward redemptions don’t earn points under the program terms. Scan your account when you pay, and check the expiration dates shown in your app.
A free drink can still qualify for a merch drop
Here’s a useful detail: Dutch Bros’ Rewards FAQ says a free-drink reward can qualify for a sticker or merchandise drop when it meets that offer’s required drink size and quantity.
A medium reward wouldn’t satisfy a large-only promotion. For a two-drink offer, one qualifying free-drink reward can count as one of the drinks. Always read the individual drop’s rules; stickers and merchandise remain available only while supplies last.
For a current example, our Passenger Princess guide has the dates and qualifying drink sizes for the November car vent charm giveaway. The Dutch Bros holiday menu covers the seasonal drinks.
Before ordering, check the reward, its deadline and the size you need. The app is for ages 13 and up; customers under 18 need parent or guardian supervision under Dutch Bros’ terms.
