Dunkin’ Rewards members have to spend more to score free drinks. The more austere program comes as profits shrink industrywide.

The company tapped into the travel industry as it reworked the program, now called Dunkin’ Rewards. It hopes to get more lapsed users back into its shops.

The coffee chain renamed its DD Perks program Dunkin’ Rewards and revamped the program to give customers more rewards and a new tier.
