Premium.Coffee FAQ

Premium.Coffee | Date: October 2026

Quick answers about rewards, accounts, coffeehouses, and privacy โ€” for visitors, coffeehouses, and baristas.

โ˜• For Visitors

What is Premium.Coffee? โ–ผ

Premium.Coffee is a community-governed coffeehouse network. We take customers from big chains and bring them to local coffeehouses โ€” using rewards from partner coffeehouses and a fixed $5 crypto bonus to reward you for choosing local business.

Do I need to install an app? โ–ผ

No. Everything works in your browser โ€” nothing to install. If you want quick access, add the site to your phone's home screen and open it like an app, including showing your saved cards offline.

How do I sign in? โ–ผ

Sign in is passwordless: enter your email address and we'll send you a 6-digit code. No passwords to remember, no passwords to lose.

Can I start as a guest? โ–ผ

Yes. You can start collecting rewards as a guest โ€” your progress is linked to your device. To protect your rewards and access them on any device, add your email to turn your guest profile into a full account.

How do I earn Coffee Points? โ–ผ

Points are added at the counter when you make a purchase. Open your loyalty card, show the QR code on your phone, and a staff member scans it to credit your points. Staff can also find you by name or email if you don't have your code handy.

Important: the number of points per scan is set by each coffeehouse according to its own rules (1, 10, 0.5 โ€” as the coffeehouse decides).

What can I do with Coffee Points? โ–ผ

Redeem them for rewards at the coffeehouse โ€” coffee, dessert, or other offers. Each coffeehouse sets its own redemption rules.

There's also a separate $5 crypto bonus โ€” for 100 scans in total. See details below.

๐ŸŽ Who decides what rewards I get? โ–ผ

Each coffeehouse sets its own loyalty rules. That's the beauty of it โ€” your local coffeehouse decides what to offer, and you decide what to choose.

What the coffeehouse decides:

  • How many points you earn per purchase
  • What rewards to offer โ€” coffee, dessert, a discount, or something else
  • Whether points expire, and when
  • Any special offers or bonus days

What you decide:

  • What to redeem at the coffeehouse โ€” coffee, dessert, or other rewards
  • Which crypto bonus to choose โ€” Bitcoin or $COFFEE

๐Ÿ’ก What Premium.Coffee does: we provide the platform, the rewards infrastructure, and the crypto bonus. You get real choice โ€” enjoy your reward today or claim $5 in Bitcoin or $COFFEE.

๐Ÿ“Œ What to keep in mind: since each coffeehouse sets its own rules, offers may vary between locations. Always check the details on your loyalty card or ask the staff at the counter.

How do I claim a reward? โ–ผ

Once you have enough points, open the reward and tap "Claim Reward". A QR code is generated for staff to scan. Your points are deducted and you receive your reward on the spot.

๐Ÿ’ฐ How does the $5 bonus work? โ–ผ

This is a separate bonus from Premium.Coffee. Here's how it works:

  • Collect 100 scans in total across partner coffeehouse cards
  • Only cards where the reward has already been redeemed count
  • Scans are counted in total, regardless of location
  • Submit a request via the website โ€” and receive $5

Choose how you want to receive it:

  • Bitcoin โ€” sent to your crypto wallet
  • $COFFEE โ€” community meme token of Coffee.Community
  • Fiat via PayPal โ€” $5 in USD or your local currency, available in regions where crypto is restricted

The bonus is available at full launch (Q3 2027). It can be earned repeatedly.

Do my points expire? โ–ผ

Each coffeehouse sets its own rules โ€” including whether and when points, stamps, vouchers, or passes expire. Check the details on the card itself for the policy that applies to you.

๐Ÿช For Coffeehouses

How do I join the network? โ–ผ

Create a business account or fill out the coffeehouse form โ€” our team will guide you through onboarding, set up your loyalty program, and provide QR materials for your counter.

What are the pricing plans? โ–ผ

We offer several plans:

  • Bronze โ€” $0, 50 scans per month (testing only, up to 1 month)
  • Silver โ€” $29/month, 100 free scans per month
  • Gold โ€” $79/month, 350 free scans per month
  • Platinum โ€” $199/month, 1,000 free scans per month

With a Gratitude NFT โ€” 50% discount on any paid plan. Valid as long as the coffeehouse holds the NFT.

Subscription renews monthly. Unused free scans expire at the end of the month. Scans beyond your limit are charged additionally.

Can I set my own loyalty rules? โ–ผ

Yes. Each coffeehouse sets its own rules โ€” how many points per purchase, what rewards to offer, and whether points expire. Our platform provides the tools; you decide the loyalty experience.

๐ŸŽฏ Do we control our own loyalty program? โ–ผ

Yes โ€” completely. Premium.Coffee is not a franchise or a chain. We provide the tools; you run your loyalty program your way.

What you control:

  • Your customer data โ€” you see your own customers, their activity in your program, and their preferences
  • Your loyalty rules โ€” how many points per purchase, what rewards to offer, whether points expire
  • Your rewards โ€” coffee, dessert, discount, merchandise, or anything you choose
  • Your special offers โ€” bonus days, double points, seasonal promotions
  • Your relationship with customers โ€” we don't interfere; you own the relationship

What Premium.Coffee provides:

  • The platform โ€” web app, QR codes, loyalty card infrastructure
  • The crypto bonus โ€” Premium.Coffee purchases Bitcoin or $COFFEE at market rate for visitor bonuses
  • The network โ€” collective strength against big chains
  • Tools โ€” analytics, customer insights, and reporting

๐Ÿ’ก In short: we handle the technology, the crypto bonuses, and customer attraction. You handle your coffee, your customers, and your loyalty experience. Everyone does what they do best.

๐Ÿ“Œ Important: your customer data is yours. Other coffeehouses cannot see your customers' activity. Each business operates independently within the shared network.

โญ How can a coffeehouse get featured in the Weekly Special Offer? โ–ผ

Burn $COFFEE equivalent to $30. Coffeehouses can burn $COFFEE themselves (send it to the zero address) to request priority placement in the Weekly Special Offer section for one week.

How to do it โ€” step by step:

  1. Buy $COFFEE โ€” for example, via the Premium.Coffee Hot Wallet
  2. Send the tokens to the burn address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  3. Log in to your partner account and contact support with your transaction hash.

๐Ÿ’ก Important: Premium.Coffee does not receive these tokens โ€” they are burned directly on-chain. Placement is at the editorial team's discretion.

โš ๏ธ Important for coffeehouses (US only)

For the IRS, burning cryptocurrency may be considered a disposal. This means that sending $COFFEE to the zero address may trigger a taxable event โ€” you must report a gain or loss based on the difference between your cost basis and the fair market value at the time of burning.

Example: you bought $COFFEE for $20. At the time of burning, they are worth $30. You have a taxable gain of $10 (capital gain). If they were worth $15 โ€” you would have a loss of $5 (capital loss).

Premium.Coffee is not a tax advisor and does not provide tax advice. Before burning tokens, we recommend consulting a US tax professional.

๐Ÿ“Œ In short: buy $COFFEE โ†’ burn $30 worth โ†’ send the transaction hash to support โ†’ get priority placement for one week.

What data can I see about my customers? โ–ผ

Your coffeehouse can see a customer's name, email, whether they've opted into offers, and their activity within your program only. You cannot see their activity with other, unrelated businesses.

How do I refer another coffeehouse? โ–ผ

Talk to the owner or manager of a coffeehouse you trust and recommend they join Premium.Coffee. If they join, you earn 1,000 $COFFEE (or 10,000 $COFFEE with a Gratitude NFT) for the referral.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ For Baristas

How do I credit points to a customer? โ–ผ

Ask the customer to show their QR code. Scan it with your device โ€” points are credited instantly. If they don't have their code, you can find them by name or email in the system.

How do I redeem a reward for a customer? โ–ผ

When a customer claims a reward, they show you a QR code. Scan it โ€” the reward is marked as used and their points are deducted automatically.

What information can I see about customers? โ–ผ

At the counter, you typically see only what you need to credit or redeem rewards โ€” such as the customer's name and membership code. All other details remain private.

What if the QR code doesn't scan? โ–ผ

Ask the customer for their name or email โ€” you can find them manually in the system. If issues persist, contact our support team via Telegram.

๐Ÿ” Wallet & Security

What is the Premium.Coffee Wallet? โ–ผ

A lightweight, open-source hot wallet designed specifically for receiving crypto bonuses โ€” in Bitcoin or $COFFEE โ€” from Premium.Coffee and Coffee.Community.

Is the Premium.Coffee Wallet safe? โ–ผ

It's designed for convenience and small bonuses โ€” not for storing large amounts. As a hot wallet, it's connected to the internet, which makes it more susceptible to attacks.

โš ๏ธ Important: for larger amounts, always use professional wallets.

What wallets do you recommend? โ–ผ

For enhanced security, we recommend:

  • MetaMask โ€” for Ethereum and Polygon networks
  • Trust Wallet โ€” for multi-chain support
  • Ledger โ€” for cold storage (hardware wallet)
  • Any reputable BEP-20 / Polygon compatible wallet
How should I store my bonuses safely? โ–ผ

Best practices:

  • Use the Premium.Coffee Wallet for receiving small bonuses
  • For larger amounts, transfer funds to a professional wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger)
  • Create a dedicated wallet exclusively for Premium.Coffee bonuses
  • Always use wallets that are actively maintained and updated

๐Ÿ” Privacy & Data

Who can see my data? โ–ผ

A coffeehouse whose program you've joined can see your name, email, whether you've agreed to receive offers, and your activity within its own program. It cannot see your activity with other businesses.

Can I export my data? โ–ผ

Yes. In the privacy and data section of your account settings, you can export all your personal data as a file to download and keep.

Can I delete my account? โ–ผ

Yes. From the privacy and data section of your account settings, you can permanently delete your account. We'll ask you to confirm with a one-time code, and the action cannot be undone.

How does "Near me" work? โ–ผ

"Near me" runs only when you press it. Your browser asks for permission, reads your position once, and rounds it to about 110 meters before sending it encrypted to sort results. Your position is not saved, not logged, and never sent to a map or location company.

โ“ General

๐Ÿ’ฐ Is Premium.Coffee free to use? โ–ผ

For customers โ€” yes, completely free. You just buy your coffee and scan your QR code. Coffeehouses pay a small subscription fee.

๐Ÿฆ Can I receive the bonus in fiat instead of crypto? โ–ผ

Yes. In regions where cryptocurrency is heavily regulated or restricted, we pay the $5 bonus in fiat โ€” in USD or your local currency โ€” via PayPal.

When you submit your request, you can choose:

  • Bitcoin โ€” if crypto is available in your region
  • $COFFEE โ€” if crypto is available in your region
  • Fiat via PayPal โ€” in USD or local currency, available where PayPal operates

This way, everyone can receive their $5 โ€” no matter where they live.

โ‚ฟ Why is a crypto bonus better than traditional cashback? โ–ผ

Regular cashback gets spent unnoticed. Bitcoin can be invested โ€” and what looks like a few cents today can become something much bigger tomorrow.

Imagine: your $5 crypto bonus invested in memecoins at the very beginning. Here's what happened historically:

๐Ÿ• Shiba Inu (SHIB) ๐Ÿ”— CoinMarketCap ๐Ÿ”— CoinGecko
๐Ÿ“… Launch: August 2020 (min price ~$0.00000000007) | Peak: $0.00008616 (Oct 2021)
Entry point $5 becomes
๐Ÿ“… True early entry (August 2020) $6,140,000+
๐Ÿ“… Early entry (October 2020) $4,300,000+
๐Ÿ“… Late early entry (March 2021) $11,000+
๐Ÿ“… Launch: April 2023 | True ATL: $0.00000000001063 (Apr 13, 2023) | Peak: $0.0000282 (Dec 2024)
Entry point $5 becomes
๐Ÿ“… True early entry (launch day) $13,260,000+
๐Ÿ“… Early entry (September 2023) $235
๐Ÿ“… Later entry (after hype) $23.50

๐Ÿ“‰ *According to Traders Union, PEPE's ATL was reached on April 13, 2023 (first hours of trading). Different aggregators may show varying values due to differences in data collection methodologies.*

๐Ÿ’ก The key insight: even a small crypto bonus, received consistently, gives you exposure to upside you'd never get from regular cashback. You're not spending extra โ€” you're just choosing a smarter form of reward.

โ“ What if I just save regular cashback and buy crypto with it โ€” isn't that the same thing? โ–ผ

In theory โ€” yes. But there's one problem: psychological self-deception.

Regular cashback has been around for a very long time. Be honest: how many times have you actually done this? Saved up cashback on your card โ†’ withdrew it โ†’ bought crypto โ†’ made a profit?

Most people don't even notice regular cashback. It gets spent on small purchases, lost in the card's general balance, or simply goes unnoticed.

๐Ÿ“Œ With Premium.Coffee it's different: you receive Bitcoin or $COFFEE tokens separately, immediately, and as cryptocurrency. You can't accidentally spend them on coffee or gum. They sit in your wallet, waiting for their moment.

Sure, you could try to save regular cashback. But ask yourself: why haven't you done it before? Simply because the mechanism doesn't push you to do it. Premium.Coffee pushes you. And it works.

๐Ÿ’ฐ And here's the key point: even if you buy the most speculative "garbage" coins with your crypto bonus โ€” you lose nothing. This isn't money from your salary or savings. It's free crypto from your coffee. It grows โ€” great. It doesn't โ€” you just keep drinking coffee and collecting more.

๐ŸŒ Which languages are supported? โ–ผ

The platform supports multiple languages. Use the language selector to switch, and your choice is remembered for next time.

๐ŸŽ Can I send points to another member? โ–ผ

Where a program allows it, you can send points to another member using the "Request Points" feature in your account. Points always stay within the program they were earned in.
