25. Loyalty Program Terms and Conditions:
For in-store purchases, the Château Gâteaux Loyalty Program works on a stamp system in terms of which:
- 1 x hot beverage purchase (excluding Kiddychino and Hot Water with/without Lemon and/or Honey) = 1 stamp,
- 10 x hot beverage purchases (excluding Kiddychino and Hot Water with/without Lemon and/or Honey) = 1 hot beverage & 1 slice of cake reward (of your choosing)
- 1 x Medium cake purchase = 1 stamp
- 10 x Medium cake purchases = 1 Medium cake reward (of your choosing)
- 1 Large cake = 1 stamp
- 10 Large cakes = 1 Large cake reward (of your choosing)
26. Rewards stamps can only be redeemed for the equivalent goods identified in clauses 27 and 28 in-store for in-store purchases only. Rewards cannot be redeemed at our online store.
27. A stamp can only be earned at the till point by scanning the app, or online by including your Loyalty App ID to earn points at the conclusion of your purchase. No stamps can be earned once the transaction has been concluded.
28. At no point during the in-store transaction will you be required to hand over your cell phone or mobile device to our staff.
29. Stamps are only redeemable once all required stamps have been collected to exchange for a particular equivalent good.
30. Stamps cannot be earned and exchanged for cash or any other food or beverage item than the goods listed in these App Terms and Conditions.
31. Stamps cannot be earned or redeemed in conjunction with any other special offer, promotion, discount or voucher.
32. To redeem stamps, you will need to present the Château Gâteaux app at the till point in our stores before ordering and paying for the goods. No stamps can be redeemed once the transaction has been concluded.
33. There can only be one completed redemption per transaction. Should there be more than one completed card to be redeemed, the cashier would have to process the transaction separately.
34. If there are stamps that need to be earned and redemption of a completed card in one transaction, the earning of stamps has to be done first. The cashier will complete the earning of stamps first, before the redemption of the completed stamps.
35. Once the necessary number of stamps has been collected, you may redeem them in-store only by choosing from any of our individual cakes, slices and pastries along with any hot beverages (excluding Kiddychino and Hot Water with Lemon and/or Honey).
