A Rewards App with a Bean on Top
Java lovers seeking great coffee, friendly servers, and unique flavors “with a bean on top” have even more to look forward to in 2024. The Human Bean updated its Rewards App, and customers can earn “beans” on purchases at franchise locations. The three-tiered program allows members to earn rewards based on spend and tier level — Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
“As we continue to grow and expand across the U.S., it’s important to us to listen to our customers and learn how we can better serve them,” says Christine Dalrymple, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at The Human Bean. “This new app is one of the ways we’re doing that. We’ve simplified and strengthened our Rewards program so that customers will earn rewards faster and more frequently.”
App users are recognized on their birthdays with free birthday drinks, and earned points allow Rewards members to redeem for gift cards. Special promotions are offered via the app throughout the year.

As we turn the page on a new chapter in 2024, we look forward to another year of nourishing communities and fostering genuine connections — both inside and outside of our neighborhood stores.”
