Full Details
Papa John's introduced a new rewards program called 'Pizza Miles' on April 2, 2026, designed to help customers offset the rising cost of gasoline across the United States. The program allows members of the Papa Rewards loyalty program to earn $4 in Papa Dough (the chain's redeemable reward currency) for every carryout order of $10 or more placed through the app or website. The promotional period runs from Friday, April 3 through Sunday, April 5. The move comes as gas prices surge nationwide due to the Iran conflict, putting financial pressure on consumers who typically would need to drive to pick up orders. Papa John's is not alone in offering relief programs—DoorDash also launched a financial relief program amid soaring gas prices.
Why It Matters
