Members will receive 10 Stars for every dollar they spend, and Stars will unlock free food at the 150-, 300- and 500-Star thresholds. Stars are redeemable anytime through the app on fan-favorite menu items including Made from Scratch Biscuits, the flavorful Charbroiled Burger and Angus Burger Lines, Hand-breaded Chicken at Hardee’s and The Breakfast Burger, Iconic Charbroiled Classics at Carl’s Jr. (Famous Star, Super Star, Western Bacon) along with Hand-Breaded Chicken at Carl’s Jr. In celebration of the national launch, members will earn double Stars on every order to help them unlock Rewards even faster now through May 17.
