P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Inc. is updating its loyalty rewards with a subscription-based loyalty program called Platinum Rewards, the company announced this week.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company, which operates the casual-dining bistro and the 17-unit P.F. Chang’s To Go fast-casual concept, said the new subscription program includes upgraded earnings opportunities, VIP-level service and unlimited free delivery.
“The new subscription-based program is a continuation of our goal to create differentiated experiences for P.F. Chang’s customers, and we believe P.F. Chang’s Platinum Rewards does that at the highest level,” said Damola Adamolekun, P.F. Chang’s CEO, in a statement.
For a monthly $6.99 subscription fee, Platinum Rewards members will: earn 1.5 times as many points (or 15 points for every $1 spent) as Gold Rewards members on P.F. Chang’s dine-in, takeout and delivery orders; pay no order minimum or delivery fees with orders placed through pfchangs.com or on the P.F. Chang’s mobile app; get priority reservations on the stores’ waitlists; and have access to Platinum Concierges for questions or comments.
“As the first polished-casual restaurant chain to launch this kind of loyalty program, we are proud to drive innovation in the industry while adding even more value for our guests,” Adamolekun said.
