Table of Contents

If you’re a fan of smothered and covered hash browns, late-night breakfast platters, and that iconic yellow sign, then the Waffle House Regulars Club (now officially Waffle House Rewards) is your ticket to turning those diner visits into free meals. Here’s everything you need to know to join, earn, and savor the rewards.

What Is the Waffle House Regulars Club?

The Waffle House Regulars Club is the official loyalty program for America’s beloved 24/7 diner. Now housed within the Waffle House mobile app as Waffle House Rewards, it’s a free program designed to thank regular customers with points, exclusive offers, and free menu items. Every scan, every order, and every All-Star Special brings you closer to your next reward.

How to Join? It’s Quick, Easy and Free

Download the App: Search “Waffle House” in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Create an Account: Sign up with your email or phone number.
Explore the Rewards Tab: Your digital Regulars Club Card lives here, ready to scan and earn.

No app? Some locations may still offer a physical sign-up card, but the digital app is the primary and fastest way to earn and redeem.

How to Earn Points (Stars)

Earning is straightforward—simply scan before you pay.

Open the Waffle House App and navigate to the “Rewards” section.
Show your unique QR code to your server at the start of your visit.
Enjoy your meal. After your server adds your check, your points are calculated automatically.

Earning Rate: Typically, you earn 10 points (or “Stars”) for every $1 spent (before tax and tip). Keep an eye out for special “Bonus Points” promotions like double-points days or holiday offers.

Pro Tip: Always scan before you receive your check to ensure your purchase counts. Plan your order by checking the latest Waffle House Breakfast Menu or Lunch and Dinner Menu to maximize your spending.

How to Redeem Rewards for Free Food?

Your points pile up quickly! Redeeming is just as simple.

Check your balance in the app’s Rewards section.
Browse the reward catalog, which includes favorites like:

- Free Coffee (view all Beverages)
- Free Breakfast Sandwich (like a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit)
- Discounts on larger platters like Steak and Eggs
Select your reward and show the redemption barcode to your server when ordering.
