How to protect your Chick-fil-A points while you are alive

Chick-fil-A One offers no beneficiary designation, and points and tier status pass to no one at death.¹

Chick-fil-A One has no family-pooling or shared-account feature, and a points balance itself does not move between accounts.^{2, 3, 1}

The Terms state that points, membership tiers, rewards and member benefits may not be gifted, sold or otherwise transferred, except that the program may allow a member to donate or gift points or rewards in certain limited instances.¹

The Terms state that members who reach Silver, Red or Signature tier status may transfer rewards to friends, and that Chick-fil-A may periodically make the gifting feature available to all members for a limited time.¹

Daily gifting limits may apply, and a transferred reward does not count toward the recipient's tier status.¹

A Silver, Red or Signature member selects a reward under Rewards then Redeem in the app or online, chooses "Gift to a friend" and shares a link with a friend or family member.⁴

Only rewards redeemed with points are eligible; creating the link redeems the points, the reward stays in the sender's account until a recipient claims it, and each link may be used once.⁴

Once a gifted reward has been added to the recipient's account, it cannot be forwarded, transferred or reassigned to another person.⁵

Points can be redeemed for food rewards that are then donated to an organization, at the local Owner-Operator's discretion.⁶

Loaded funds are a Chick-fil-A One Digital Gift Card; the Gift Card Terms bar selling or bartering a card but allow transferring it to another person for no monetary consideration, such as a gift.⁷

The Terms let Chick-fil-A cancel an account that has been inactive for two years or more, which cancels every point, reward and benefit on it.¹

The support FAQ says points do not expire but rewards do; reward expiration dates show in the app or online account.⁸

Member tier status is determined annually and must be requalified each year; points toward status reset to zero on January 1 and do not roll over.⁹

Under the Gift Card Terms, loaded funds do not expire and no inactivity or service fees apply.⁷
