### 2/5 — cant redeem points

*2026-08-20, version 400.659.0*

for absolutely ages now me and everyone i know with the app has been unable to get the point redeem code.

### 2/5 — Redeeming points

*2026-07-01, version 400.616.0 (Hotfix)*

My app used to work every time I would either scan my app at the kiosk to get my rewards or I would order on the app to collect and since the newest update of the app the store I go to doesn’t even come up as one of the locations anymore and I can’t even scan at the kiosk really ruined the app for me

### 4/5 — Taco Bell

*2026-06-26, version 400.616.0 (Hotfix)*

Everything works hard from you can’t scan your QR code in the shop because I tried to use and it still doesn’t work but you can finally order things online

### 3/5 — places

*2026-06-14, version 400.512.1*

i have two places that have a taco bell near my area yet when i type it up in locations it doesnt show up, which doesnt help as i cant redeem my points

### 2/5 — Still Broken

*2026-04-24, version 400.492.7*

Was so excited to see that they finally updated the app as it was always broken before. Still is. My store doesn’t show up on the locations and the app fails to give me a kiosk code when requested. Why they gotta gatekeep my points man.

### 1/5 — Generate code, can’t do it.

*2026-04-24, version 400.492.7*

I love Taco Bell, probably one of my favourite fast foods, with the app and collecting points it makes it even more desirable. However since the update you can’t generate a code to scan at the kiosk. I’m hoping that this can be fixed soon as possible, till then I will have to go without points :(

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2026-04-21, version 400.467.1*

Can’t redeem points anymore as the app won’t give me a good and the app looks even worse then before, looks like it was designed for an iPhone 5 or something

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-04-20, version 400.467.1*

App does not work and you cannot get a code to redeem rewards. My local taco bell in High Wycombe is not on the app as well

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-04-11, version 400.467.1*

Apparently there are only 3 taco bells in the uk, una le to place an order ahead of time and you can’t ever claim the rewards.  Don’t see the point in it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-10, version 400.467.1*

The new app is an absolute mess. The code to earn points doesn’t show in the app. Can’t redeem points you’ve earned so it’s useless. No customer support whatsoever. Don’t bother downloading it until they fix it… if they fix it.

### 1/5 — New update sucks

*2026-04-10, version 400.467.1*

Has the new app actually been tested before launch? I can’t generate a kiosk code ever since the update, the app is glitchy and slow and it’s overall just a terrible downgrade to what it was. I would’ve thought it’d been fixed by now, several weeks later, but it’s the still the same glitchy mess.

### 4/5 — What an upgrade 😮

*2026-04-02, version 400.467.1*

It might of taken a while but this is a night and day difference 🤯. App is so much better I have since ordered after not being for 5 months 😮 I prefer ordering on the app. The bad thing that the naked taco has now been discontinued please bring it back 👍🏻.

### 1/5 — New app not working

*2026-04-02, version 400.467.1*

While old app was terrible new one is non functional. Points and order history just wont load most of time. The button to show check-in code has solid 10 second delay before drawer pops up with no code then closes itself after couple seconds (fast internet low ping) You also get notifications about deals and discounts but when you click them it just drops you to app homepage with no discounts or offers to be seen. I'm assuming this is cheap vibecoded app but still does nobody test anything or care that app is unusable?

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-02, version 400.467.1*

They say half price burritos but u actually can’t redeem it 😂

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-04-01, version 400.467.1*

I cannot order online or generate a code as the app won’t connect to my nearest Taco Bell Southampton. Nor Brighton. Can’t access a code to use special offers in person either. App useless currently!

### 1/5 — app sucks

*2026-03-31, version 400.467.1*

everything bugs you can’t actually use rewards, can’t get code up and when you are ready to pay and the rewards are added it tell you nah error when paying

### 2/5 — New app - new problems

*2026-03-31, version 400.467.1*

The old app design worked so well.
Since the update, the pop-up does not show with my code, meaning I have not been able to get any points or rewards. Disappointing knowing how often I frequent the shop.

### 1/5 — New Update Sucks

*2026-03-30, version 400.467.1*

Terrible new update. The app doesn’t work whatsoever, can’t use my code, can’t redeem anything, matter of fact the code doesn’t even generate. Why they had to change it I have no clue, it worked terribly even before the update but at least it worked for getting your code and redeeming whatever you wanted to eat, now it doesn’t work, and when I tried to redeem something in store and tried to show the worker the app doesn’t work, I got told that he knows it doesn’t work, and left empty handed. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — App never works

*2026-03-28, version 400.467.1*

The food from here is amazing but this app is absolutely useless, can never log on at a kiosk to earn any points

### 1/5 — Used to be good, now it’s useless

*2026-07-29, version 400.659.0*

I used to use this all the time. I receive emails rvsry week for new offers/menu items. App opens but it can’t seem to find any restaurants near me to order from. I live in London 🙈

### 1/5 — Most complicated app ever

*2026-07-10, version 400.616.0 (Hotfix)*

Got a free taco on the app for downloading it, so I went to the touchscreens in store to order my food. I couldn’t figure out how to add my free taco to the order, as it gives me a four digit reward code and the touchscreen kept saying the code was invalid. The staff mentioned a QR code and even they couldn’t find one on the app, so I had to go to the till so they could do it for me. It needs a QR code you can scan and the option of adding it to the Apple Wallet.

### 1/5 — Map doesn’t work

*2026-07-01, version 400.616.0 (Hotfix)*

Trying to order from the app but it just spins and no locations appear. Needs fixing assp

### 1/5 — Everyday

*2026-06-16, version 400.512.1*

Notifications every day is way too much. Not gonna buy anything more from you

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-06-12, version 400.512.1*

The new update is terrible, the many reviews saying the same thing confirm it. You are no longer able to collect reward points using this new code system. Very very disappointing and they should look into fixing this asap

### 1/5 — My local Taco Bell isn’t listed

*2026-06-09, version 400.512.1*

The old app was awful, this one looks much better but I haven’t had a chance to use it as my local branch of Taco Bell isn’t on it!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-08, version 400.512.1*

Can’t use loyalty points or find nearest restaurant since the update. Won’t be going until they fix the app

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2026-05-19, version 400.512.1*

since the new update the app doesn’t work, can’t check in or redeem points. disappointing

### 1/5 — Recent update

*2026-05-15, version 400.512.1*

You had around a month & fixed nothing - please test your app before making it live. Code won’t show and I refuse to order until it does.

### 1/5 — The new app needed to be junked

*2026-05-04, version 400.492.7*

The updated app
Is not fit for purpose and I’ve not been able to collect points for months. It’s total junk and a waste of space on my phone. Shame on Taco Bell UK!
