How to Register for Wawa Rewards
Signing up for Wawa Rewards is one of the easiest things you’ll do all week, and it’ll save you real money every time you walk into a Wawa. Whether you prefer using the app, the website, or doing it in person, the whole process takes about two to three minutes.
Here’s exactly how to get registered, what information you’ll need, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Registration Methods
Wawa offers three ways to join the rewards program:
- The Wawa mobile app — the fastest and most convenient option
- The Wawa website — great if you prefer a full-size screen
- In-store at any Wawa location — pick up a physical rewards card and register it later
All three methods give you access to the same program, the same points, and the same rewards. The app method is what I recommend because it puts your rewards card, offers, and mobile ordering all in one place. For a complete overview of the program, see our Wawa Rewards Program Complete Guide.
Step-by-Step: App Registration
This is the most popular method and the one that sets you up for the best experience going forward.
Step 1: Download the Wawa App
Open the Apple App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for “Wawa.” The official app is published by Wawa, Inc. and has a red goose logo. Download and install it — it’s free and takes up minimal storage space.
Step 2: Open the App and Tap “Join Wawa Rewards”
When you launch the app for the first time, you’ll see options to sign in or create an account. Tap the option to create a new account or join Wawa Rewards. If the app opens to the main screen, look for “Rewards” in the bottom navigation and tap the sign-up prompt.
Step 3: Enter Your Personal Information
You’ll be asked to provide:
- First and last name
- Email address (this becomes your login)
- Phone number
- Zip code
- Date of birth (optional, but entering it gets you a birthday reward)
Step 4: Create a Password
Choose a password that’s at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of letters and numbers. This is what you’ll use to log in to both the app and the website.
Step 5: Agree to the Terms and Submit
Review the terms and conditions, check the agreement box, and submit your registration. You’ll receive a confirmation email — click the verification link to fully activate your account.
Step 6: Your Digital Rewards Card Is Ready
Once you’re registered, your digital rewards card (with a scannable barcode) appears in the app. You can use it immediately on your next Wawa visit. That’s it — you’re done.
Step-by-Step: Website Registration
If you’d rather sign up on a computer, the website process is just as straightforward.
Step 1: Go to the Wawa Rewards Page
Visit wawa.com and navigate to the Wawa Rewards section. Look for the “Join Now” or “Sign Up” button.
Step 2: Fill Out the Registration Form
Enter the same information as the app method: name, email, phone number, zip code, and an optional date of birth. Create your password.
Step 3: Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for a confirmation email from Wawa. Click the verification link to activate your account. If you don’t see it, check your spam or junk folder.
Step 4: Download the App Afterward
Even though you registered on the website, I strongly recommend downloading the app and logging in with your new credentials. The app is where you’ll scan your rewards at the register and pump, access bonus offers, and track your points balance in real time.
What Information You Need
Before you start, have the following ready:
- A valid email address — this is your account login and where Wawa sends reward notifications
- Your phone number — used for account recovery and sometimes for looking up your account at the register
- Your zip code — helps Wawa show you offers and information relevant to your local stores
- A password you’ll remember — or better yet, save it in a password manager
Wawa does not ask for payment information during registration. The program is completely free, and you’ll never be charged anything for being a member.
Troubleshooting Registration Issues
Most people get through registration without a hitch, but here are solutions to the most common problems:
“Email Already in Use” Error
If you see this message, you may have created an account in the past and forgotten about it. Try using the “Forgot Password” feature to recover your existing account rather than creating a new one. If you’re sure you’ve never signed up, try a different email address or contact Wawa customer support.
Confirmation Email Never Arrives
Wait at least 10 minutes, then check your spam and junk folders. If it’s still not there, try requesting the confirmation email again through the app or website. Make sure the email address you entered is spelled correctly — a typo here is the most common cause.
App Crashes During Registration
Make sure you’re running the latest version of the Wawa app. Go to your app store, check for updates, and install any available. If the app continues to crash, try uninstalling and reinstalling it, or complete your registration on the website instead and log in to the app afterward.
Physical Card Won’t Link to Your Account
If you picked up a rewards card in-store and it won’t link to your online account, double-check that you’re entering the card number correctly (it’s the long number on the back of the card). If it still won’t link, the card may have already been registered to another account. Ask for a new card at any Wawa location or contact customer support.
Account Locked After Too Many Login Attempts
If you entered the wrong password too many times, your account may be temporarily locked. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try again, or use the “Forgot Password” flow to reset your credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register my physical rewards card?
You don’t have to register the card to start earning points — you can scan it immediately. However, registering it online or in the app is highly recommended. Registration lets you track your points balance, access digital-only bonus offers, and recover your account if you lose the card. It takes less than two minutes and is absolutely worth doing.
Can I have more than one Wawa Rewards account?
Wawa’s terms allow one rewards account per person. If you accidentally created two accounts, you may be able to contact Wawa customer support to merge them, though this isn’t guaranteed. It’s best to stick with one account to keep all your points in one place.
Is my personal information safe with Wawa Rewards?
Wawa collects only basic information needed to run the rewards program (name, email, phone, zip code). They have a privacy policy on their website that details how your data is used and protected. Wawa does not sell your personal information to third parties. You can review their full privacy policy at wawa.com.
