   Hubby had his acct taken over last year. They loaded $$ to the card and then used it at a store in NY. They used his rewards too. Dunkin did refund our $$ but it was a pain. We don’t have any cards saved to anything anymore. Too many data breaches.

   They did a forced password reset for all potentially affected accounts. If you are able to log in with your existing password, then your account likely wasn’t affected.

   I think I’m more upset about the name change than the data breach. 😂

  Same here. I refuse to use the shortened name.

   This is a bummer for sure but more shocking…when did they shorten their name to just Dunkin? I didn’t know that. What’s next…they going to shorten it to just a symbol? It’ll be all purple rain with a coffee cup.

   I changed my password anyway…
   I don’t link any CC to my account ( here or Starbucks ). When I want to re-load $$$, I go to the store and pay in cash.

  I don’t link credit cards to any restaurant accounts either.

  I would reload my DD card with cash if they hadn’t closed all three locations in Baton Rouge last year. I still have $12.68 left on my card. I won’t get a chance to use some of it until February when I go out of my way to MCO the day before a cruise. I won’t be able to visit again until September 2019. I am going to lose all of my points due to inactivity, even though the inactivity will not be my fault. I also won’t be able to use the birthday reward anymore.

  I buy Starbucks gift cards from Sam’s Club for the discount or Albertsons for the points. I add them to my account and then transfer the balance to my main card.

  I am able to transfer the Sam’s Club e-cards with no problems. I can add a physical card from Albertsons to my account, but I have to call Starbucks and have them merge the balance with my main card. I have no idea what the difference is between transferring and merging.

  Albertsons gives 2 points per dollar on gift cards. If you then buy something from a Starbucks in Albertsons, you will get an additional point per dollar. That is 3 points per dollar on Starbucks gift cards.

   Can’t even figure out how to change my password. Not an easy account to navigate on their webpage.

  I had a hard time finding it too, but eventually located it on this page: https://www.dunkindonuts.online/en/account/perks-rewards. Just select “Manage Profile” in the drop-down menu under “What would you like to do today?” Hope that helps!
