Some tips about signing up for Java Perks

  • The most common numbers are already taken. Some examples: 555-1212, 867-5309, 123-4567, 777-7777.
  • Sometimes your number will already be taken even though its your phone number. Don't be alarmed, since we don't use area codes numbers frequently overlap with other regions.

More tips!

  • If you'd like to share a Java Perks number, just let us know and we'll add both names to the Perks number. Guests that share Perks numbers must also share the rewards! To distinguish points between guests, please request a second Perks number.
  • Some guests may notice the name on his/her Perks number is wrong. Don't be alarmed! In early 2005 we networked Java Perks by combining each location's membership and some names overlapped. Please contact us so we may correct your Perks number's name.

I'd like to change my Perks number

Please send us an email (see 'Sign up for Java Perks') and let us know your current and requested new number. We'll contact you only if your requested new number is already in use! Your earned credit will transfer to your new number.
