  1. Points system

  1. To earn Points, you must:

  1. purchase eligible goods or services from:

  1. participating Petbarn retail stores;

  1. participating Greencross Vets clinics; or

  1. the Sites,
    (each, an Eligible Purchase); and

  1. enter or provide your Membership details when completing an Eligible Purchase.

  1. The number of Points awarded to you per Eligible Purchase depends on the ‘tier’ status of your Membership. There are 3 tiers in the Program: ‘Silver’, ‘Gold’ and ‘Platinum’ (each, a Tier). New Members are allocated Silver Tier status on the date that they register with the Program. Members are eligible to move up, and required to move down, Tiers based on their Eligible Purchases. Points will be awarded to Members based on their Tier as set out in the table immediately below:

Metric

  1. Based on the above table:

  1. a Silver Tier Member will earn 10 Points per dollar spent up to $549 in a year;

  1. a Gold Tier Member will earn 12 Points per dollar spent from $550 to $1,099 in a year; and

  1. a Platinum Tier Member will earn 14 Points per dollar spent from $1,100 and above in a year, on Eligible Purchases.

  1. Points expire 365 days after the date on which they are awarded. Points cannot be claimed by you retrospectively.

  1. Points are calculated on the purchase price of Eligible Purchases (inclusive of GST) rounded down to the nearest dollar.

  1. Points are personal to you and are not transferable. Points do not have any cash or monetary value.

  1. When a Member obtains a refund or reimbursement for an Eligible Purchase (for example, for returned goods or refunded services), the Points previously accrued for that Eligible Purchase will be reversed and/or cancelled. If those Points have been redeemed by a Member prior to the refund or reimbursement, the Member’s Points balance will go into a negative Points balance.

  1. If a Member requests a refund for an Eligible Purchase in which Loyalty Dollars have been used towards the value of the Eligible Purchase, any refunds will be given based on the original payment method. For example, if the Eligible Purchase is worth $50 and $10 worth of Loyalty Dollars were used towards that Eligible Purchase, the Member will receive a $40 refund depending on the method of purchase and a Loyalty Dollars voucher to the value of $10. In this scenario, the Loyalty Dollars voucher will not need to be activated by a Member in accordance with clause 5, and will be ready to use by the Member on the date of receipt. The Loyalty Dollars voucher expires 4 weeks from the date of receipt.

  1. To track your Points balance, you can check your Account on Petbarn.com.au, or the Petbarn App or request a staff member to confirm your Points balance in store or contact our call centre.

  1. It may take up to 24 – 48 hours for any Points earned to be shown in your Account.

  1. Greencross may adjust a Member’s Points balance in the event of an incorrect accrual (whether due to Greencross’ error or otherwise) or where there are other grounds which we consider reasonably justify an adjustment.

  1. You cannot earn Points on purchases made via any Third Party Platform.

  1. Redemption of Points
