Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Shack Rewards Loyalty Program work?

Earn 10 Points for every $1 spent at Shane’s and redeem your points for your Shack Favorites! Earn when ordering in-app, in-store, or online (order.shanesribshack.com). For in-store orders, have your app QR code ready to scan before you pay for your order. To open your app QR code, Tap “Earn” located at the bottom left of your app and your QR code will appear for you to Scan at the register. If you forget to scan while ordering, you can scan in the barcode on the bottom of your receipt into the "Earn" tab of your app up to 7 days after your visit. Points are automatically added to your account when ordering in the App or online as long as you are signed in to your Shack Rewards Account. Orders placed as a "guest" will not earn Points.

In the “Rewards” tab of your app, tap “Redeem Points” to see the Shack Rewards that you have unlocked. You may use your points to redeem any unlocked rewards or save up your points to redeem later. Redeem in-store, online, or in-app!
