Annual Bonus PointsFrequently Asked Questions
Updated as we receive them.
How much are my points worth?
- Loyalty Rewards Points are worth 1/100 of a dollar (1 point is 1 penny). For example, 100 points is worth $1. 1000 points is worth $10. (some states, managed on our Commerce7 platform)
- “Stored Credits” are equal to dollars (some other states, managed on our VinoShipper platform).
How do I redeem my points?
When you are logged into your online account, you can see the number of “Loyalty Rewards Points” or the amount of “Stored Credit” that you have. When making a purchase online, you’ll be offered the opportunity to use those points at checkout.
When will I receive my bonus points?
Your bonus points will be awarded in January based on your club activity in the preceding year. This is a manual data-entry process, so please understand that an exact date is not feasible. But, we’ll make sure you get them!
When will I receive my tasting and shipping vouchers?
Tier qualification is based on an annual spend amount. In other words, how much did you spend in the calendar year? So, at the end of each calendar year, the club manager will credit your account in loyalty points equal to the value of the shipping and bottle perks. You will receive the points for those specific perks, but you can use the points however you choose!
IF you are one of our amazing Platinum level members, then you’ll also receive a letter inviting you to book your private wine tasting event.
As member of gold and platinum tier, when will I get my bonus bottle(s) of wine?
In January each year, our club manager will credit your account in loyalty points for the value of the perks you deserve. As with all other perks, your points are representative of those perks, but you can use the points however you wish.
Earning points in our physical stores. How do I ensure I get all of my points?
Our staff will require the name on your club membership when paying for beverages and receiving your member discount while visiting any of our physical stores. Your name must be on the purchase in our store in order for us to get you your points. Staff are required to ask, but please ensure they do by asking to earn your points during your purchase.
Can my rewards points be used for club release shipments/pick-ups?
No. For most people, this is how most of their points are earned. So, think of your club release wine payment as a way of earning points for all the other wonderful things you will want throughout the year.
Will my rewards points ever expire?
Nope! Once you earn your points, they are yours, even if you choose to leave the club or if you change tiers.
Can I redeem my points in on of the physical winery stores?
Yes you can! Please alert your host when you arrive that you are a club member and they will ensure that you get all the credits you deserve, plus offer to help you spend those points you’ve already earned. Visiting our tasting rooms, club room, and other stores are a great way to take advanatage of all the points you have saved up!
How do loyalty tiers get assigned?
As you spend and earn loyalty points, your activity is tracked and tiers get assigned. To qualify right now for a specific tier, you would need to spend that tier’s minimum amount in either the PREVIOUS YEAR or the CURRENT YEAR. In other words, once you hit a new tier level, you are locked into that tier (at a minimum) for the current year and for NEXT year.
For example, if you spend at least $700 this year, you will be locked into the GOLD Tier for the remainder of this year and NEXT Year. If you spend more than that, then obviously you tier-up.
Think of your tier assignment as being “locked-in” for the rest of this year, and for next year. You can always lock in the next tier up by meeting that spending goal.
