How to Use Your 7 Brew Gift Card
Using your gift card at a 7 Brew stand is simple. Here is the step-by-step process.
Order Your Drink
Drive up to any 7 Brew stand and place your order as normal. You can order any item on the full menu, including drinks, add-ons, and customizations.
Present Your Card at the Window
Hand your physical gift card to the Brewista, or give them the phone number linked to your rewards account if your card balance has been transferred digitally.
Card Gets Scanned
The Brewista scans the QR code on the back of your card. The purchase amount is deducted from your balance, and your remaining balance is shown on the receipt.
Split Payment If Needed
If your order total exceeds your card balance, tell the Brewista before they process payment. They can apply your remaining gift card balance first, then charge the rest to cash or another card.
Good to Know
Works everywhere. Your card is valid at every 7 Brew location in every state. No restrictions.
Still earns rewards. Purchases made with a gift card still earn loyalty points (100 points per drink) toward free drinks.
Any menu item. Gift cards can be used for anything on the menu, including limited-time seasonal drinks and secret menu combinations.
Multiple cards accepted. You can use more than one gift card on a single order if needed.
How to Check Your Gift Card Balance
Three ways to find out how much is left on your 7 Brew gift card.
At Any Stand
Ask any Brewista to scan your card. They can tell you the exact remaining balance instantly. This is the most reliable method.
Online
Visit rewards.7brew.com/giftcard and enter your gift card number. Note that very old cards may not be recognized by the online tool.
Phone Support
Call the customer support number printed on the back of your gift card. A representative can look up your balance using the card number.
Old card not recognized online? If the online balance checker does not recognize your card number, visit any 7 Brew stand. A Brewista can scan it and, if needed, transfer the remaining balance to a new card linked to your rewards account.
Linking Your Gift Card to the 7 Brew App
Go digital without losing your balance. Linking your physical card to your rewards account means you never need to carry the plastic card again.
How to Link Your Card
- 1 Download the 7 Brew Coffee app from the App Store or Google Play, or create an account at rewards.7brew.com
- 2 Take a clear photo of the QR code on the back of your physical gift card
- 3 Contact 7 Brew support with your registered phone number and the QR code photo
- 4 Support will link the card balance to your account. From then on, just give your phone number at the window to pay.
Benefits of Linking
Gift Card Promotions and Deals
7 Brew periodically runs gift card promotions that give you bonus drinks or extra value. Here is what to watch for.
Buy $25, Get a Free Medium Drink
The most frequent promotion. When you purchase $25 or more in gift cards, you receive a separate free medium drink card. The free drink card does have an expiration date (usually 30 days), so use it promptly.
Typically runs during holidays and appreciation weeks
Holiday Gift Card Bundles
During November and December, some locations offer special holiday-themed gift card packaging and may increase the bonus (for example, buy $50 in cards and receive two free drink cards). Follow your local stand on social media for announcements.
November through December at select locations
Gift Card Policies
Everything you need to know about expiration, refunds, lost cards, and other fine print.
No Expiration Date
Purchased 7 Brew gift cards never expire. Your balance remains valid indefinitely. Use it tomorrow or use it next year. However, promotional free drink cards received as bonuses during promotions do have expiration dates printed directly on the card, typically 30 days from issue.
No Refunds
Gift card purchases are final. 7 Brew does not provide refunds on gift cards. If you received a card that was never activated or has a technical issue, contact the location where it was purchased. In most cases, the store manager can resolve activation issues on the spot.
Lost or Stolen Cards
Gift cards are treated like cash. If lost or stolen, there is no guarantee of replacement. This is exactly why linking your card balance to your 7 Brew rewards account is so important. A linked balance is protected and accessible through your phone number even if the physical card is gone.
No Cash Back
Gift card balances cannot be converted back to cash. In some states, laws may require merchants to cash out gift cards with very small remaining balances (typically under $5 or $10). Check your state regulations if this applies to you.
Gift Card vs. 7 Brew Rewards Program
Gift cards and the rewards program are two separate systems that work together. Understanding the difference helps you maximize value.
| Feature | Gift Card | Rewards Program |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Prepaid balance loaded on a card | Points-based loyalty program |
| Cost | You load money onto the card | Free to join |
| How it works | Deducts from prepaid balance | Earn 100 pts per drink, redeem at 1,000 |
| Giftable | Yes, designed for gifting | No, tied to your account |
| Earns rewards points | Yes, when linked to account | Automatically |
| Free drinks | Only during promotions | Every 10th drink is free |
| App required | No (physical card works) | No (phone number works too) |
Best strategy: Use both. Link your gift card to your rewards account so every purchase with the gift card also earns loyalty points. A $25 gift card buys 5 drinks, earning 500 points. You are halfway to a free drink before you even pay with your own money.
Best Gifting Ideas and Tips
A 7 Brew gift card is a versatile gift for coffee lovers and non-coffee drinkers alike, thanks to the massive menu variety.
For Coffee Lovers
A $15-$25 card lets them explore 7 Classics like Lattes, Macchiatos, and Cappuccinos. Mention their favorite flavor (Salted Caramel and White Mocha are the top sellers).
For Non-Coffee Drinkers
7 Brew has an entire caffeine-free menu. 7 Fizz Italian sodas, Lemonades, Smoothies, and Shakes are all completely caffeine-free.
For Teachers and Nurses
A $10 card covers 2 drinks and shows appreciation without being extravagant. Buy during Appreciation Week for a bonus free drink card, effectively giving them 3 drinks for $10.
For Teens and College Students
7 Energy drinks are the most popular with the under-25 crowd. A $25 card covers 3-4 energy drinks. The colorful Fizz sodas are also hugely popular for their visual appeal.
For Corporate and Bulk Gifts
Contact your local 7 Brew stand directly to arrange bulk gift card purchases for employee appreciation, client gifts, or event giveaways. Most locations can accommodate large orders with advance notice.
Last-Minute Gifts
Since 7 Brew does not offer e-gift cards, a last-minute gift requires a quick stop at a stand (average wait: 3-4 minutes). Buy the card, grab a drink for yourself while you wait. It takes less time than ordering online from other coffee chains.
