Step 1: Ensure You Have the Latest Whataburger App
Before we do anything else, let's make sure your Whataburger app is up-to-date. An outdated app can lead to glitches and prevent you from accessing the latest features, including receipt submission.
Sub-heading 1.1: Why App Updates Matter
It's crucial to have the most current version of the Whataburger app. App developers frequently release updates that include bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new functionalities. These updates ensure a smooth and secure experience. For instance, sometimes a new version might streamline the receipt scanning process or add new reward redemption options.
Sub-heading 1.2: How to Check for Updates
For iOS Users (iPhone/iPad):
Open the App Store.
Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
Scroll down to see if "Whataburger" is listed under "Upcoming Automatic Updates" or "Available Updates."
If it is, tap "Update" next to it.
For Android Users:
Open the Google Play Store.
Tap your profile icon (usually top right).
Tap "Manage apps & device".
Look under "Updates available" for "Whataburger."
If you see it, tap "Update".
Step 2: Logging into Your Whataburger Account
You'll need to be logged into your Whataburger Rewards account to add a receipt. If you don't have an account yet, now's the perfect time to create one – new users often get a special welcome offer, like a free Whataburger!
Sub-heading 2.1: Existing Users - Easy Login
Open the Whataburger app.
Look for the "Log In" or "Sign In" option. This is usually on the main screen or accessible from a menu.
Enter your registered email address and password.
Tap "Log In." If you've forgotten your password, there's usually a "Forgot Password?" link to help you reset it.
Sub-heading 2.2: New Users - Registering for Rewards
Open the Whataburger app.
Tap "Sign Up" or "Create Account."
Follow the prompts to enter your details, such as your name, email address, and a password. You may also be asked for your birth date to receive birthday perks!
Agree to the terms and conditions.
Complete the registration. You'll likely receive a confirmation email.
Step 3: Navigating to the "Add a Visit" Feature
Once you're successfully logged in, it's time to find the dedicated section for adding past visits and receipts.
Open the Whataburger app.
Look for the "More" tab or icon, usually located at the bottom right of your screen. Tap on it.
Within the "More" section, you should see an option like "Add a Visit" or "Submit Receipt." Tap this option.
Step 4: Entering Your Receipt Details Accurately
This is the most crucial step! You'll need to input information directly from your physical Whataburger receipt. Accuracy is key here; even a small typo can prevent your points from being credited.
Sub-heading 4.1: Identifying Key Information on Your Receipt
Your Whataburger receipt contains all the necessary data. Here's what you'll typically need to find:
Restaurant Number / Store Number: This is a unique identifier for the specific Whataburger location you visited. It's usually a 3 or 4-digit number located near the top or bottom of your receipt.
Date of Visit: The exact date your purchase was made.
Time of Visit: The exact time printed on your receipt.
Order Number / Transaction Number: This number helps identify your specific purchase.
Total Amount: The grand total of your purchase.
Pro Tip: If you're having trouble locating any of these details, the app usually has a small info icon or a "Where are these details?" link that will show you an example receipt highlighting where to find each piece of information. This is incredibly helpful!
Sub-heading 4.2: Inputting the Information
Carefully enter the Restaurant Number into the designated field.
Select the Date of Visit using the in-app calendar.
Enter the Time of Visit. Make sure to distinguish between AM and PM correctly.
Input the Order Number / Transaction Number.
Enter the Total Amount of your purchase.
Step 5: Selecting the Correct Location
After entering the initial details, the app will try to match your entry with a Whataburger location.
Based on the restaurant number and possibly the date/time, the app will present a list of matching Whataburger locations.
Carefully review the options and select the one that exactly corresponds to where you made your purchase. Double-check the address if possible. This ensures your points are correctly attributed.
Step 6: Submitting Your Receipt
Once all the details are entered and the location is confirmed, you're ready to submit!
Review all the information you've entered one last time for accuracy.
Tap the "Submit" or "Add Visit" button.
Sub-heading 6.1: Confirmation and Point Earning
If successful, you'll usually receive a confirmation message indicating that your visit has been added.
Your points should be credited to your account shortly after submission. Remember, you earn 10 points for every $1 spent at Whataburger.
You can then check your "Rewards" section in the app to see your updated point balance and available rewards.
Sub-heading 6.2: Important Considerations
One Receipt Per Day: Whataburger typically allows you to manually add only one receipt per day. This is to prevent fraudulent activity and ensure fair point distribution.
Time Limit for Submission: There might be a specific timeframe within which you can submit a receipt after your purchase (e.g., within 7 days). Always check the app's terms and conditions for the most current policy.
Keep Your Receipts: It's always a good idea to hold onto your physical receipts until your points are successfully credited, just in case there's an issue and you need to refer back to them or contact customer support.
Congratulations!
You've successfully added your Whataburger receipt and are on your way to earning delicious rewards! Enjoy those points and keep an eye out for exclusive deals and promotions available only through the app.
