questions about the Loyalty Program
How does the loyalty program work?
Our loyalty program is designed to reward our regular customers. To be eligible, you must have a customer account and have made cumulative purchases totaling at least €300, regardless of how the orders are split. There’s no need to make a single €300 purchase — several orders can add up to reach this amount.
How are loyalty coupons calculated?
As soon as the cumulative amount of your orders reaches €300, you automatically receive a 5% discount on every product purchased. This discount is credited as loyalty coupons to your customer account, under the “My Rewards” section. For example, if you place a €100 order, a €5 loyalty coupon will be added to your account.
How do I use my loyalty coupons?
You can use your loyalty coupons on your next orders:
• You can use your loyalty balance to cover the full amount of your order if the balance is sufficient. • You can also deduct part of your order amount based on the balance available in your account. Your loyalty coupon balance will be automatically applied at checkout, according to your choice. You can check your coupon balance at any time under the “My Rewards” section of your customer account.
How long are my loyalty coupons valid for?
Loyalty coupons have a limited validity period. Be sure to use them before they expire, which you can check under the “My Rewards” section of your customer account.
