The Shopkick Program
Your Shopkick Account
Account Requirements
To access and use the shopkick Program, you have to create an account with us (“Account”). Upon creating an account, we may ask you for information, such as your name, email address (or Facebook credentials), telephone number, etc., so we can administer and customize your experience with the shopkick Program, and allow you to redeem shopkick points (“kicks”). You agree that the information you provide us will be true, accurate, current and complete. We also request that you create a password for your Account. You agree not to disclose your password to anyone else, and you also agree you will be solely responsible for any activities or actions taken under your Account, whether or not authorized by you.
Please notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or Account. We are not liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with these requirements.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you get to enjoy the shopkick Program and earn rewards anytime and anyplace (legally, this is a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and install one (1) copy of the Application to your supported device, and access and use the shopkick Program, solely for your own personal and non-commercial use.

Earning Kicks, Awards, and Rewards
We offer different ways for you to earn kicks, which include:
- Kicks for Online Purchases
- Kicks for Purchases
- Kicks for Receipts
- Kicks for Scans Kicks for Walk-ins
Kicks
Shopkick ‘kicks’ are similar to reward points. You may earn kicks and other awards in a variety of ways as specified by shopkick, such as: walking into physical stores, scanning certain items while physically in a store (or as requested by shopkick), scanning purchase receipts, making purchases, and other ways as indicated within the shopkick Program. Shopkick reserves the right to change, add or remove any award types, and the methods by which members can earn and redeem kicks or other awards, for any reason and without notice to you, in its sole discretion and at any time.
All kicks, under all programs are rewarded on a “first come, first served” basis. Also, there are often limits on many times you can be eligible for kicks in various time periods (a day, a week, a month, etc.) for each action, and for each program (e.g. limits on how many times you may walk-in or scan a product). Eligibility requirements for all programs may change without prior warning. Be sure to check the Application, or relevant pages within the shopkick Program for the most up-to-date information. Shopkick will not be liable for a failure to award kicks or other under any circumstance, for any reason, including due to errors in your mobile device or mobile network, failing to complete the actions, failure to follow the stated directions, due to the inaccuracy or illegibility of the receipt submitted.
Shopkick cannot guarantee participating products will always be available for purchase at the published locations (e.g. a vendor may pull products from its shelves, a product may be out of stock, etc.), or that eligibility dates will not change without prior warning, and thus shopkick disclaims all responsibility for any failure to award kicks. We are not liable for a failure to award kicks. By participating in the Shopkick Program, you agree shopkick is under no obligation to notify you if there are no longer available kicks.
Kicks for Online Purchases
Our online features within the Shopkick Program allow you to earn kicks from making online purchases at specified merchant websites as displayed within the shopkick Program. By using shopkick’s online-purchases feature within the shopkick Program, you will agree to terms and conditions of each applicable participating merchant, Card processor, Card network and/or Card issuer (collectively, “Processors”), in addition, you also agree to our terms within the shopkick Program for the applicable Processors, and our Terms as detailed herein. If you do not agree to all of the applicable Processors’ terms and conditions, then you may not use our online-purchases feature or earn kicks from this feature.
From time to time, there will be circumstances where shopkick does not receive valid, complete and/or otherwise sufficient data relating to transactions from online-purchases. Online-purchases transactions will be handled by the applicable Processors rather than shopkick. Under no circumstances will shopkick be responsible for Processors’ errors, omissions, negligence, reckless or intentional acts, privacy or publicity rights violations, and/or security breaches, including with respect to any notification obligations related thereto. Certain online-purchase transactions, or portions thereof, may not be eligible to receive kicks, including, but not limited to, clearance items, gift cards, tax, and/or shipping & handling fees. At shopkick’s sole discretion, entire online-purchases transactions may be determined to be ineligible for kicks, or only eligible for award of partial kicks credit.
Awards from online-purchases may not be awarded or used until a certain time period has expired (for example, for returns associated with that participating merchant). Typically, this is between 30 and 45 days, but it could be longer, as indicated in the “Kicks Activity” section of the Application and shopkick Program. If you make a return, the transaction is invalidated, disputed, or does not settle for any reason, then some or all pending kicks will be decremented from your Account, as determined and at the sole discretion of shopkick. If you make a return for cash, store credit or credit to a different credit card, we will still need to take away some or all of your pending kicks accordingly. Regardless of our online-purchases offerings, shopkick shall not be responsible for any online shopping transactions that you make, or attempt to make, using the online-purchases capability of the shopkick Program. For any questions or issues with any such online transaction, please contact the participating merchant, Processors, and/or your Card issuer directly.
Kicks for Purchases
Our kicks for purchases program (sometimes called ‘kicks when you buy’ or “Kicks for Purchases” or “K4P” or “Kicks for Linked Card” purchases) lets you associate one or more of your credit or debit cards issued from certain card networks, stores or card issuers (each, a “Card”) with your Account using the Application or shopkick Program, so you may be eligible to receive kicks when you use that Card at specified merchants and on qualifying purchases (“Card Awards”). If you choose to associate a Card with your Account, we will direct you to a secure site operated or approved by the Card network or issuer on shopkick’s behalf where you will be required to provide your Card information and agree:
- that certain transaction information from your associated Card can be shared with shopkick; and
- the specific terms and conditions of the other Card network or issuer, as applicable.
- enable your participation in Kicks for Purchases;
- enable offers for included merchants;
- share return information received from included merchants;
- enable shopkick to validate offer and kicks eligibility;
- award kicks;
- show you your kicks history in the shopkick Program; and provide aggregated and anonymized reporting to the included merchants, and for no other purpose.
The Card network or issuer will register your Card on shopkick’s behalf and will provide a non-Card number identifier to shopkick that relates to your associated Card. Card networks and issuers’ only role(s) in Kicks for Purchases is to provide data from your associated Card to enable your participation in Kicks for Purchases program.
You may only associate a Card with your Account if you are a registered User of the Application or shopkick Program, who has also verified a phone number associated with your Account. We will only award you kicks for qualifying purchases that are not returned. Qualifying purchases are those made with a Card(s) linked within the Application or shopkick Program that do not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN), and such purchases are made from stores included in the Kicks for Purchases program, and your purchases meet or exceed the purchase amount listed within the Application or shopkick Program for the specified store, your purchases are not held in default or deemed fraudulent, and fully comply with the shopkick Rules. Please see the stores listed in the Application or shopkick Program for more information.
Card Awards may not be awarded or redeemed until a certain time period (for example, for returns associated with that merchant) has passed. Typically, this time period is between 30 and 45 days, but it could be longer, as indicated in the “Kicks Activity” section of the Application. If you make a return, the transaction is invalidated, disputed, or does not settle for any reason, then some or all pending kicks will be decremented from your Account, as determined and at the sole discretion of shopkick. If you make a return for cash, store credit, or credit to a different credit card, we will take away some or all of your pending kicks accordingly. You may remove your Card from the Kicks for Purchases program (e.g. unlink) at any time through the Application; however the Card network or issuer may still continue to deliver shopkick information about your returns at included merchants for a limited period of time after the Card association has been removed to use solely for the above purposes.
Only the Card network or issuer that is operating or approving the secure site is responsible for any errors or mistakes associated with that secure site. Shopkick does not store your Card number and hence, is not responsible for any liability relating to the secure site or any liability therefrom. In addition, we, the Card networks and issuers, are not in any way liable for your use of the Card at an included merchant, any issues you might have with the included merchant or the Card issuer, or any returns or attempted returns at the included merchant. Unfortunately, we, the Card networks, and issuers cannot be liable for any errors or omissions in awarding kicks for a number of reasons, including because we cannot control the accuracy of the information we may receive from an included merchant.
Kicks for Receipts
Our kicks for receipts program lets you earn kicks by using the Application’s submission function and your phone’s or other device’s camera to submit receipts from purchases of select products and/or select retailers (“Kicks for Receipts” program). From time to time, shopkick will announce via the shopkick Program the actions you need to take, identity of the participating products and/or retailers, and store location(s) from where you must submit your receipt. Each action you wish to take to earn kicks has directions you must follow as well as limits as to when purchases or submissions must be made
Kicks for Scans
Our kicks for scans program lets you earn kicks by using the Application’s scanning function (or similar functions within the shopkick Program, as specified by shopkick) and your device’s camera to scan participating products’ bar codes while at the eligible store (“Kicks for Scans” program). From time to time, shopkick will announce to you the identity of participating products, as well as locations where those products might be available, via messages distributed through the Application or the shopkick Program, including email. Each product has a limit as to how quickly and how many times you may scan a product in various time periods (a day, a week, a month, etc.). You should scan items one at a time and wait some time between scans. We have a limited number of scans per product available in total across all Users of the Application and shopkick Program; if the scan limit is reached, you will no longer be able to earn kicks for scanning that product. By participating in the Kicks for Scans program, you agree the Application and shopkick Program may access your device’s camera, and that shopkick will review the scans made by your device. In addition, you also agree to use the Application, shopkick Program and the Kicks for Scans program only for submitting scans to shopkick, and to fully follow and comply with the shopkick Rules. In specific, you agree to only scan products at the stores listed along with a respective product scan, unless you are otherwise directed to by shopkick within the shopkick Program. Shopkick does not guarantee the advertised products will always be available for scanning at published locations (e.g. a vendor may pull products from its shelves, a product may be out of stock, etc.), or that bar codes will always be accurate, and thus shopkick disclaims all responsibility for any failed scanning experiences, errors, or mistakes occurring during a scanning attempt.
Kicks for Walk-ins
Kicks for walking-in can only be earned by your physical presence at eligible walk-in locations that are open for business and active at the time you have the Application open, your device has network reception while you are accessing the relevant pages in the Application, and shopkick has kicks available for distribution at the time (“Kicks for Walk-ins” program). Remember, there are sometimes limits on how often you can walk into a store to earn kicks; be sure to check the Application for the most up-to-date information.
Redeeming Rewards
Rewards! Who doesn’t like those. Shopkick offers various rewards. When selecting a Reward, make sure it’s what you want because all redemptions of kicks for Rewards are final.
To redeem Rewards, click the selected item and follow instructions provided, to claim the Reward. Kicks and other awards have no cash value, are not your property, cannot be sold, transferred, or assigned, and may only be redeemed for Rewards offered within the shopkick Program. Kicks and other awards may be revoked at any time by shopkick for any reason and without prior notice.
Rewards Options
Once you have enough kicks, you may redeem them for the cash, gift cards or whatever other rewards (“Rewards”) are listed in the rewards section of the Shopkick Program at that time. Shopkick may modify the list of Rewards periodically, and reserves the right to modify the kicks values of the Rewards, and its applicable redemption at any time, including but not limited to devaluing kicks and Rewards, for any reason. Shopkick may also modify the frequency and payment schedule in which it allows you to redeem kicks and other awards for Rewards and/or pays Rewards, and reserves the right to modify this at any time. We may also require a minimum threshold (e.g. $20) in cumulative kicks before allowing you to redeem Rewards, which may change from time to time. Shopkick is not the supplier of any Reward, and is not liable or responsible for its fulfillment or proper condition or value. Please contact the supplier of the Reward directly with any claims you may have.
Kicks may be used once you have accrued a sufficient level of kicks to redeem as Reward, as indicated within the shopkick Program. You may also save your kicks over time for later use prior to expiration, forfeiture, or termination of the shopkick Program. Some Rewards may require additional time before they can be fulfilled. Refunds, exchanges and other issues regarding the redeemed item are governed by the Reward supplier’s terms and conditions applicable to the item, including any warranty, and are not the responsibility of shopkick. Restrictions may apply to certain Rewards and the terms specific to the Rewards are disclosed through the shopkick Application. Merchants participating in shopkick are subject to change at any time. You are responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes that may result from Rewards received as part of the shopkick Program. Rewards pictured within the shopkick Program may not necessarily reflect exact colors or models of actual Rewards due to model variations and/or manufacturer’s updates.
Reward Requirements
Some Rewards require a unique code for redemption (Ex: “virtual store card“). This unique code may be provided to you directly via email or to your device, or though the shopkick Program. Emails will be sent to the email address you provide. You will need to present this unique code to a store sales associate to redeem your Reward. Once the code of the Reward is sent to you, the redemption process and the store card itself is handled by the store the card is to be used at, and shopkick is not responsible or liable for the Reward value or the redemption process. Other Rewards may require an account with the applicable Reward provider or the provider allowing you to redeem a Reward (i.e. PayPal, Venmo, etc.), a mailing address to ship the Rewards, or other requirements as Shopkick and the redemption provider sets forth in the shopkick Program. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your information in your Account and your account with the applicable Reward provider of the redemption method. You further agree to provide additional information as Shopkick requests to verify your identity and administer your Reward. If Rewards are not deposited, mailed to you, or cashed by you (e.g. check expires), through no fault of Shopkick, we have no obligation to reissue such a Reward. Merchandise rewards that are not available to be claimed in-store or within the Application will be shipped via U.S. mail (or other carrier at the discretion of shopkick) within six to eight weeks from date of Reward redemption. Merchandise can only be shipped to approved U.S. shipping locations. Some merchandise Rewards require a street address for shipment. Shopkick reserves the right to substitute merchandise of equal or greater value in place of unavailable merchandise, or to refund kicks that were redeemed for unavailable merchandise. All shopkick Program Rewards are provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. To redeem kicks for Rewards, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and to abide by the shopkick Rules. Shopkick expressly reserves the right to retroactively reverse any rewards or benefits granted to you for any prohibited conduct or violation of the Terms; you agree to provide your full cooperation and prompt repayment under such circumstances. If you believe that kicks or other awards were not properly accrued to your Account, please notify shopkick by using the “Contact Us” form on the Website within 30 days of when you think the error occurred. Allow 30 days for any claims to be researched and corrected as needed. Shopkick’s determination will be final, and made in its sole discretion. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee kicks or other awards you believe should have been accrued can be credited to you later, if shopkick cannot determine the precise location you were in, or the action you took on the shopkick Application or at a store, at the time when you believe the kicks or other awards should have been credited. Among other reasons, technical problems with a walk-in or scanning system or verification of transaction information may result in your action not being detected or verified accurately by the shopkick Application or Program. While we try to prevent that from happening, neither we nor our affiliates or business partners can be held liable for your inability to accrue kicks or other awards in such event.
Modification of the Shopkick Program
Shopkick reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, discontinue or terminate any or all of the shopkick Program, or modify the Terms at any time. For example, we reserve the right to charge a fee for using the Services, devalue accumulated kicks and awards accrued in the future or retroactively, or cease the shopkick Program. Changes will be posted on the Website, Application, via a Message, and by changing the date of last revision on this Agreement. All modified terms and conditions will be immediately effective as of the date the modified Terms are posted, or as quickly as permitted, and will apply to all Users regardless if you created an Account or not.
If any portion of this Agreement or any change to the Terms, Website, Application or shopkick Program is unacceptable to you or will cause you to no longer be in compliance with the Agreement, you must cease using the Services and, if applicable terminate your account. As indicated herein, if you choose to opt out of the Services, shopkick may forfeit any or all kicks, Rewards, and/or other awards in your Account after the prior notice period. By continuing to access or use the shopkick Program after the changes are effective, you agree to be bound by such changes.
Termination or Cancellation of Your Account
You may terminate your Account at any time and for any reason by deleting your account via the Application or designated pages as detailed within the shopkick Program, or by sending shopkick an email notice with the subject line “please cancel my shopkick membership” to help@shopkick.com and requesting to be removed from the shopkick Program. By canceling your shopkick Account, your Account will be terminated and may no longer be accessible, and all kicks and other awards and Rewards are immediately forfeited. Any termination request will be handled within 30 days of receipt of such a request by shopkick.
We may immediately terminate your Account or suspend your access to the shopkick Program, and remove any kicks, material (including any User Content provided by you) from the Website, Application or our servers, in the event that you breach the Terms our policies, or for other improper conduct, at our sole discretion and without prior notice to you. As a result of any such termination, we may disqualify you from future participation in any of our programs, Services or the shopkick Program. Any suspension, termination or cancellation will not affect your obligations to shopkick under the Terms (including but not limited to ownership, indemnification and limitation of liability), which by their sense and context are intended to survive such suspension, termination or cancellation.
Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you under the Terms will immediately cease, and you will forfeit all kicks and other awards accrued. We will not be liable to you or any other person for termination of your Account or suspension of your access to the Services. Upon any termination or suspension, any information (including User Content) you submitted to the shopkick Program may no longer be accessed by you. Furthermore, we will have no obligation to maintain any information stored in our database related to your Account or to forward any information to you or any other person.
NOTE: WE MAY DEEM YOUR ACCOUNT INACTIVE IF YOU HAVE NOT ACTIVELY USED THE APPLICATION FOR 180 DAYS OR MORE. ONCE YOUR ACCOUNT IS DEEMED INACTIVE, YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE TERMINATED AND ANY OR ALL KICKS, REWARDS, AND OTHER AWARDS WITHIN YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE FORFEITED, WITHOUT NOTICE AND AT SHOPKICK’S SOLE DISCRETION. SIMILARLY, IF KICKS ARE NOT USED OR REDEEMED WITHIN 180 DAYS AFTER THEY ARE AWARDED, ALL SUCH UNUSED KICKS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A FORFEITURE, AT SHOPKICK’S SOLE DISCRETION
