No, your card will no longer work, but we can still add points using your phone number.

I don’t have a Smart Phone. Can I still participate in Sweet Rewards?

If I never migrate their account, will I still have rewards on my card?

Their reward will still exist, but it will not be in their card, they will need to migrate their account on the online portal, which can be found from graeters.com/rewards , or through the App

How do new guests enroll in Sweet Rewards?
