Advance Rewards

What is Advance Rewards?
Advance Rewards is Advance Auto Part's loyalty program. It is made for DIY customers to save more money the more they shop.

What are the membership tiers?
Advance Rewards has three tiers:

• 1st Gear : Free to join, auto-enrolled at sign-up. Earns 5 points per $1 spent.
• 2nd Gear : Requires $500 in annual spend. Earns 8 points per $1 spent.
• Top Gear : Requires $1,000 in annual spend. Earns 10 points per $1 spent.

How do points work?
Points will be calculated depending on the member's tier.
5, 8, or 10 points per dollar corresponding to 1st Gear, 2nd Gear, and Top Gear.

What are the reward thresholds?
The reward thresholds are as follows:

• 500 points = $5
• 1000 points = $10

What's new about coupon combining?
All members can combine up to $100 in Rewards in our mobile app. Only one Reward can be used per transaction.

Do coupons expire?
Yes. All Rewards expire 90 days after they are issued. See terms and conditions for more details about Rewards.

What happens to points or coupons from returned items?
When you return a purchase, the points you earned for the purchase will be deducted from your Advance Rewards point balance.

Example: As a 1st Gear member, you purchased a $100 part on Monday and earned 500 points. On Wednesday, you returned the item. Once the return is processed, those 500 points earned from Monday's order will be deducted from your Advance Rewards balance. This may result in a negative point balance depending on the other points in your account at the time of the return on Wednesday.

Will members keep their tier status?

• 2nd Gear and Top Gear members will keep their status for the next calendar year and must re-qualify during that time. Unconverted points will roll over.
• 1st Gear members will lose unconverted points at the end of the calendar year.

What happened to Perks Bucks?
The coupon name has changed from Perks Bucks to Rewards, but redemption rules remain the same.

When do I receive my Rewards?
We keep track of all points and will automatically issue your $5 Reward as soon as you reach 500 points. If you reach 1,000 points, you will receive $10 Rewards. Your Rewards will be uploaded to your account within 3 days of your qualifying transaction, and you will be notified via email.

If I earn Rewards, can they be redeemed at a different store?
You can redeem them in any store in the country or online. Also, you will earn points from purchases both in store and online.

Why do I have a negative point balance on my Advance Rewards dashboard?
As described above, when you make a return the points you earned for that purchase are subtracted from your existing point balance found on your dashboard. If the number of points subtracted due to the returned product exceeds your existing point balance, then you will see a negative balance. Any Rewards earned are NOT affected, these rewards are yours to use as outlined. Advance Rewards points earned on future eligible purchases will be applied to the negative balance first.

Example: If you earned 500 points from your purchase, these points were added to your existing point balance you see on your Advance Rewards dashboard. If you make the return after receiving the points, the 500 points you earned from the purchase will be subtracted from your existing point balance. If your existing point balance at the time of the return was below 500, this would result in a negative point balance on your dashboard.

How do I keep track of all my transactions for warranties?
You now need to have an account on shop.advanceautoparts.com in order to see your in store or online transactions. If you already have an account on shop.advanceautoparts.com, log in and link your Advance Rewards account by providing the phone number. If you don't have an account on shop.advanceautoparts.com, you can create one and link your Advance Rewards account by entering the phone number you used for membership registration.

Can I use my Rewards on anything I want?
Rewards can be redeemed on purchases $0.01 over the coupon amount. You can use your Rewards on most products in store or online at Advance Auto Parts. Excluded products and services include factory direct orders, special orders, core deposits, gift cards, rental of loaner tools, shipping and handling, taxes or other government fees or charges. Coupons expire 90 days from date of issue, so don't forget to use them!

Is every Advance Auto Parts and Carquest store Participating?
All Advance Auto Parts stores in the United States and Puerto Rico participate in the Advance Rewards program. Most Carquest stores participate in the program and the list keeps expanding. We recommend you contact the store in question for the latest information.

How long do I keep my status (1st Gear, 2nd Gear, Top Gear)?
Your status is achieved based on calendar year cumulative purchases. Whenever your maximum level is achieved, you remain at that level for the balance of the calendar year AND the next calendar year.

Example – Between January and March 17, 2026, you made $1,032 in purchases. As of March 18, you will be a Top Gear Member. You will enjoy Top Gear level benefits for the rest of 2026 and 2027.

Is there a way for me to receive points other than 5 points for every dollar spent?
There are two great ways to earn extra points.

1. You will receive bonus points for popular product categories throughout the year.
2. In addition, as your spending increases throughout the year, the points you earn will also increase. Spend $500 in a calendar year to reach 2nd Gear and earn 8 points per dollar. Spend $1,000 in a calendar year to reach Top Gear and earn 10 points per dollar.

Why should I connect my in store Advance Rewards account with a shop.advanceautoparts.com account?
We have created a new secure web page called 'My Dashboard' that contains everything about your Advance Rewards account that you need to know – all of your transactions, Rewards, points balance, points to next reward, tier status and more!

You will also have access to a new 'My Benefits' section where you can see all of your benefits, including Bonus Points, offers and more!

Do I still call the same customer support number if I have any issues?
Yes! Our Customer Support team is here to help! Simply call 1-877-238-2623.

The Program and these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are determined solely by the entity operating the Program, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated ("Advance"), in its sole discretion. These Terms govern your participation in the Program. By enrolling or earning rewards, you agree to these Terms. The Terms may be updated from time to time without advance notice.

Account Eligibility and Restrictions: This Program is only available to Do-It-Yourself customers of participating Advance Auto Parts or Carquest stores and our online store (shop.advanceautoparts.com); it is not available to customers with a commercial account or those enrolled in Advance Pro. There is no membership fee. No purchase is necessary to apply. Only retail and online individual consumers of Advance that are above the age of eighteen (18) and located within the United States or Puerto Rico may enroll and be accepted in the Program ("Qualified Customers").

Qualified Customers who have completed enrollment are members of the Program ("Members"). These terms apply to all Qualified Customers who have enrolled in the Program through one or more designated means provided by Advance.

Advance reserves the right to limit the number of Members and geographic locations in the Program. Advance reserves the right to terminate membership, void rewards, turn over information to government authorities as requested or pursuant to legal process or take any other action available under law because of any inappropriate or suspicious activity by Members, any Program design issue, or any other reason at all (including no reason). All issues, questions, or disputes regarding eligibility shall be resolved by Advance in its sole discretion.

As further described below, rewards and important notifications are delivered by email or by text if Member consents, or at checkout on www.advanceautoparts.com. By signing up to receive rewards or other benefits from the Program, you agree to receive advertising, marketing materials, and other communication from Advance, its subsidiaries, and carefully selected marketing partners pursuant to the Advance Privacy Policy.

Membership Tiers; Earning and Redeeming Rewards

Determination of Tier: Members qualify for tiered benefits based on the Member's Qualifying Purchases within the calendar year. Qualifying Purchases are purchases that have been settled and fulfilled excluding: rental fees, warranties, factory direct orders, protection plans, shipping and handling, delivery, surcharges, sales and use tax, purchase of Advance Gift Cards or third-party Gift Cards, returns, purchases or transactions made with Advance Rewards, or other promotional items (such as free items). The higher the Qualifying Purchases, the higher the Tier the Member is placed in. Tier may determine the Rate at which Points are accumulated, the Conversion Threshold, how Points and Rewards are treated or carried over year-to-year, and additional Tier-specific benefits.

The benefits of the higher Tier are immediately available upon reaching the relevant spending threshold. Members are not notified, however, of Tier elevation for at least 30 days after reaching the relevant spending threshold.

Tier Carryover: The highest Tier achieved by the Member in any calendar year will carry over into the following year. Such carried-over Tier must be supported by Qualifying Purchases at least equal to that Tier's minimum spending threshold. If the threshold is not met, the Member will be placed in the highest Tier for which the annual spending qualifies for the following year.

Points Carryover: Member's Tier determines whether unconverted Points expire annually or carry over to the following year. For Members in the 2nd or Top Gear Tiers, points that have not converted to Rewards will roll over to the following calendar year. For Members at the 1st Gear Tier, unconverted Points expire at the end of the year.

Returns: For points earned related to a purchase, the points earned for such purchase will be decremented in proportion to the product that is returned. Due to timing, points totals may become negative balances depending on when returns occur. With respect to coupons redeemed on a purchase that is later returned, Advance may, in its sole discretion, reissue the coupon.

Accumulation of Points: All Rewards are earned in the form of coupons and are based on the accumulation of Points per tier provided above. After reaching a specified number of points ("Conversion Threshold"), Points are converted into a Reward of a certain dollar amount. Any points above the Conversion Threshold remain in the Member's account, subject to calendar limitations, detailed below.

Except as otherwise provided below and elsewhere in these Terms, purchase of products and services qualify for Points regardless of whether regularly priced or marked as on sale or clearance. To the extent Member makes a purchase where the membership in the Program was not applied, Member can log receipt online or in the Advance app to receive points for such purchase. Points are NOT granted for purchase of gift cards or payment associated with core deposits, rental of loan tools and factory direct orders.

Points are accrued on an annual basis. Expiration and carryover of Points across years is determined by the Members Tier (see above).

Points awarded on any merchandise that is subsequently returned shall not count towards the Conversion Threshold. Similarly, dollar amounts spent on any merchandise that is subsequently returned shall not count towards the next tier.

Redeeming Rewards: Rewards are automatically issued to Member in pre-determined denominations after Points are accumulated beyond the Conversion Threshold. Members will receive notice of the Rewards approximately 2 to 3 business days after the qualifying purchase via email.

Rewards are subject to the following restrictions:

• Combining Coupons: Each coupon reward is a discrete coupon redeemable at its face value only. Coupon Rewards may be combined subject to the Member's tier above. Coupon Rewards must be presented at the time of purchase/redemption. Coupon Rewards can only be redeemed for a purchase (excluding sales tax) equal to or greater than the face value of the Coupon Reward, or combined Coupon Rewards.

• Excluded Products and Services: Coupon Rewards may be used to purchase any item (except where restricted) of any price with the following exceptions. Rewards may NOT be attributed to the cost of or use to purchase:

  • special orders;
  • core deposits;
  • gift cards;
  • rental of loaner tools;
  • shipping and handling;
  • taxes or other government fees or charges; or

See Reward Email or text for further details.

• No Cash Value: Rewards, including all other reward types, have no cash value, are non-negotiable, are not escheatable, and cannot be redeemed either in whole or part for cash. They do not constitute property of any Member or other person and may not be brokered, bartered, attached, pledged, sold, auctioned, or sold or disposed of for consideration, or in any manner otherwise received or used in violation of the terms and conditions herein.

• Sweepstakes: For applicable sweepstakes terms and conditions, visit shop.advanceautoparts.com or the website of that particular sweepstakes promotion.

• Bonus Point Promotions: Advance may enable Bonus Point Promotions for Members. Bonus Points are issued in addition to points received from the purchase of products and services. Once points are accumulated to the applicable conversion threshold, one or more rewards are automatically issued to the member in pre-determined denominations. Points are accrued on an annual basis. Expiration and carryover of Points across years is determined by Member's Tier (see below). For one-time use promotions, one-time point grant is promotion point limit per person.

• Additional Rewards: Advance may also, at its sole discretion, provide additional rewards in connection with certain transactions, referrals, events and/or promotions and at certain Tiers.
