Krispy Kreme revamped their rewards program to make it even easier to earn points and they're giving members free doughnuts to celebrate.

Here's what you need to know.

What is changing with the new Krispy Kreme Rewards Program?

Krispy Kreme Rewards members will now earn 10 points for every $1 spent and points can be redeemed for more items, including single, 3-pack, 6-pack and a dozen doughnuts, as well as coffees and hot chocolates, according to a news release from the company.

"In the previous version of the rewards program, members would receive a credit for each purchase of a doughnut, dozen doughnuts and coffee – 12 credits being required to redeem one of each specific item for free," Krispy Kreme said in the news release. "In the new Krispy Kreme Rewards, members can apply their points to any reward."

Rewards members will also get additional exclusive and personalized perks, including a free sweet treat on their birthday, opportunities to try limited-time products for free, and double points for celebrating their anniversary month.

Krispy Kreme is revamping its rewards program to a more generous points system that makes it faster for members to earn and easier to redeem free doughnuts and beverages.
