Fast Food Rewards, Ranked by Real Value

Got points? See what they're worth.

Before you redeem points on the item you were already going to get, look it up here. FastFoodPoints ranks every rewards redemption by real menu value, so you can see whether spending your points on it is a smart move — or whether you'd get more out of them saving up for something else.

How to use this

Most people don't browse the whole rewards menu — they already know they want a chicken sandwich, or a milkshake, or whatever they're craving. So the fastest way to use FastFoodPoints is to pick your chain above and search for that one item in its value table, then check its rating. Rated Best or Good? Spending your points there is a smart move. Rated Fair or Low? You'd likely come out ahead paying cash for it this time and saving your points for something that redeems for more menu value instead.

How the ranking works

For every redeemable item, we divide its regular menu price by its points cost to get a cents-per-point value. A higher number means you're getting more menu value for each point you spend. Ranking every item this way surfaces redemptions that look similar on the surface — two items at the same points cost — but are actually worth noticeably different amounts.

Menu prices differ by city and even by store. For Chick-fil-A, we've cross-checked rankings across multiple independent price samples and found they hold up surprisingly well across locations — a redemption that rates as a great value in one market tends to rate the same way almost everywhere else we've checked. We're still building out that same cross-market check for other chains as more location data comes in. More on that in the FAQ.

Why this exists

I kept wondering whether redeeming points for one item was actually a better deal than another, and there wasn't a good way to check — so I started tracking the numbers myself. This site is free to use and always will be. If it's saved you from a bad redemption, or you just want to help keep the data current, a coffee is appreciated — it goes toward keeping this updated and adding more chains over time.
