What happens to Domino's points when the owner dies
Domino's Pizza LLC points are forfeited under the program's terms when the account is closed

There is no estate-claim timeline, because Domino's offers no point-transfer or inheritance process. The only operative clock is the Program's own forfeiture rule: Points are forfeited after 180 consecutive calendar days in which the Participant neither earns nor redeems Points. Domino's publishes no service-level commitment for Customer Support responses, so the time to answer a written goodwill request is not documented.
(General customer service)
Under Domino's Pizza LLC's terms, Domino's points do not constitute property of the account holder and are forfeited when the account is closed upon death. There is no established process for transferring points to heirs or the estate.
There are reports of Domino's Pizza LLC making exceptions through customer service, but these accommodations are discretionary and not guaranteed.
What to do
When a Domino's account holder dies, these are the steps to take:
- •Submit the request through Domino's Customer Support — the Dot support bot or the email form, which carries a "Domino's Rewards" category
- •Identify the deceased member by the email address on the Domino's Profile, and enclose a copy of the death certificate and the executor or administrator's appointment document
- •Ask in the alternative for the balance to be credited to a named surviving family member, or for a Reward tier to be honored on that survivor's behalf, and ask that the Profile not be purged while the request is considered
- •Expect no entitlement: the Rules foreclose transfer, so anything granted is a courtesy
Required Documents
- Domino's publishes no estate-claim document list for Domino's Rewards, because the Program Rules state Points are not transferable upon death and no estate process exists.
- For a discretionary goodwill request or to close the Profile, expect to supply: the email address on the Domino's Profile; a copy of the death certificate; and the executor or administrator's appointment document (Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration) if the request is made in a representative capacity.

Frequently asked questions
They are forfeited, and the Program Rules say so directly. The Domino's Rewards Terms & Conditions state that Points "do not constitute property, do not entitle a member a vested right or interest and have no cash value," and that Points "are not redeemable for cash, transferable or assignable for any reason, and are not transferable upon death, as part of a domestic relations matter or otherwise by operation of law." There is no beneficiary designation, no transfer mechanism, and no estate-claim process. A separate rule forfeits any remaining Points after 180 consecutive calendar days with no earning or redeeming.
Not as a matter of right. The Program Terms & Conditions foreclose transfer or assignment of Points "for any reason," including upon death and by operation of law, so neither a will nor a court order reaches them. A family can still write to Domino's Customer Support and ask, as a courtesy, that the balance be credited to a named survivor's Domino's Profile. The Rules leave all questions about accumulation and redemption of Points to the Sponsor's sole discretion, so a request is possible even though the answer is entirely the Sponsor's to give.
No. Domino's Rewards has no beneficiary designation and no way to name someone to receive accumulated Points. The Program is limited to one Domino's Profile per person, and the Participant is the authorized holder of the email address used at registration. Because the Rules state Points are not property of the member, there is nothing for a beneficiary form to attach to.
There is no executor process. Domino's offers no estate claim for Points, and redemption under the Rules is performed by the Participant through their own signed-in Domino's Profile at participating US locations. Signing in as the deceased is not the answer either: the Terms of Use make the account holder responsible for all activity on the account and state you may never use another's account without permission. The available route is a written goodwill request to Customer Support asking that the balance be credited to a named surviving family member.
Contact Domino's Customer Support at contactus.dominos.com — the Dot support bot or the email contact form — with the email address on the Domino's Profile, and ask that the account be closed. Closing the Profile stops the Program emails about Points status that members agree to receive at sign-up, and removes the saved payment and delivery-address information the Profile holds. Domino's publishes no dedicated bereavement channel, so this runs through general Customer Support.
Since Domino's points are forfeited at death under the official terms, points can only be used during the account holder's lifetime. Redeeming, transferring, or sharing points while the account is active preserves their value.
