2. ER Subscription Order

2.1 How much do I need to spend on my ER subscription order each month?
Minimum 50 PV per month
2.2 How can I earn the 10 ER points from Premium Starter Kit during online new member enrollment?
During enrollment, select “I would like to subscribe to Essential Rewards Loyalty Subscription Program” AND “create your essential rewards kit” after choosing any of the Premium Starter Kits. Then you need to add additional items in your monthly Essential Rewards subscription shopping cart (with at least 50PV) during enrollment in order to earn the 10 ER points.
Note: Existing members can only purchase Premium Starter Kit on a Quick/Standard Order. Online new member enrollment is the only time we allow ER points to be earned from Premium Starter Kit.
2.3 Can I subscribe to Essential Rewards Loyalty Subscription Program in both Hong Kong and US?
No. You would not be able to subscribe to NFR ER, but you could still place NFR standard orders. All the US promotion gifts will NOT be added to your NFR Standard orders; and no other compensation will be offered.
The NFR order platform is a way for you to order NFR items for personal use, but is not associated with Young Living Hong Kong.
2.4 How many times can I process my ER subscription order each month?
Once a month only.
2.5 Do I receive the same products each month?
If you make no changes to your ER subscription template (which means the ER subscription shopping cart items), you will receive the same products as last month. In other words, the products you receive for ER subscription orders would be changed ONLY if you make changes to your ER subscription template prior to the scheduled processing date. (We recommend that you update your shopping cart at least 2 business days prior to the next processing date)
2.6 How do I pay for my Essential Rewards subscription order?
We accept Visa, Master Card, PayPal, Octopus, AlipayHK, WechatPay HK, PayMe and Cash payment.
*Octopus, AlipayHK, WechatPay HK and PayMe are only applicable in Expereince Center.
2.7 Can I return my Essential Rewards subscription order?
Cancellation or return of any Essential Rewards subscription order forfeits all unused Essential Rewards points and resets the monthly subscription in the program to zero.
An additional 25% restocking fee will apply due to member’s failure to update his or her Essential Rewards subscription template before the processing date.

3. Earning Gifts

3.1 How do I earn gifts through the Essential Reward Loyalty Subscription Program?
When you place consecutive Essential Reward subscription orders, you can earn exclusive gifts^. You’ll qualify for these gifts when you place consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders for 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36 months. After 36 months, you’ll receive gifts after every 12 months of consecutive orders.
‧ 3 consecutive months: Pre-selected essential oil x 1 (with value of 7.5PV or above)
‧ 6 consecutive months: Pre-selected essential oil x 1 (with value of 14.5PV or above)
‧ 9 consecutive months: Pre-selected essential oil x 1 (with value of 15.5PV or above)
‧ 12 consecutive months: Loyalty, a special blend formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young specifically for Essential Rewards members!
^The loyalty gift oils are available while quantities last. Substitute oils will be sent as replacements in the event that quantities of the specified oils are exhausted.
*If you skip an ER subscription order, you will start your qualification count (including gift qualification) from the beginning.
**Beginning January 1, 2018, Essential Rewards subscription orders must have a minimum of 100PV to be qualified for the loyalty gifts. On the month members receive the loyalty gifts (the 4th month, the 7th month, the 10th month, the 13th month etc), they also need to reach at least 100PV on Essential Rewards subscription order. Otherwise the gift will not be included in their subscription orders.

3.2 How will I receive my gift?
The gift will be added to your next qualified Essential Rewards subscription order. E.g. If you have subscribed to ER subscription for 3 consecutive months with at least 100PV; and you are processing a 100PV or above ER subscription order in the 4th month, the gift will be added to that ER subscription order.
3.3 If I earn a gift and then don’t process an order, can I re-earn that gift?
No, you may only earn each gift one time. For example, you might earn the 3 month gift and later cancel your Essential Rewards subscription orders. If you start Essential Rewards subscription again, the next gift you’ll be eligible for will be the 6 month gift, not a second 3 month gift. If you cancel your Essential Rewards subscription order the month after you’ve earned a gift, the gift will come with your next processed Essential Rewards subscription order should you choose to reactivate in the subscription.
3.4 What happens if a gift is out of stock?
If a gift is out of stock, a substitute will be made for another product of similar value chosen by Young Living.

4. Changing ER Subscription Template and Processing Date

If any specific date is not available for you to choose, it may mean that the quota of that date is already full. Our Customer Service Team could neither choose that date for you. Please choose another available date instead.
4.3 Can I make changes to my ER subscription order after the processing date?
There is a 25% restocking/handling fee (due to member’s failure to update his or her ER subscription template before the processing date) for any changes or cancellations if your order has been processed automatically. Therefore, we encourage you to update your ER subscription template at least 2 days before the processing date.
Cancellation or return of any Essential Rewards subscription order forfeits all unused Essential Rewards credits and resets the monthly subscription to zero.

5. Earning Points

5.1 How many points do I earn for my Essential Rewards subscription order?
You will receive points based on a percentage of your PV for each Essential Rewards subscription order. The percentage you receive depends on how many months you have consecutively placed Essential Rewards subscription orders.
1–3 months: 10 percent of each Essential Rewards subscription order
4–24 months: 20 percent of each Essential Rewards subscription order
25+ months: 25 percent of each Essential Rewards subscription order
*If you skip an ER subscription order, you will start your qualification count (including gift qualification) from the beginning.
5.2 How do I know which percentage I’m earning points at after the change in September 2016?
All members who have previously processed consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders will earn points in the new system based on how many consecutive ER subscription orders they placed prior to September 1. For example, a member who has processed 18 consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders will be at the 20 percent level. An individual who has processed 28 consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders will begin at the 25 percent level.
5.3 Do I retain points earned for returned products?
No. You will forfeit any points earned on products that you later return.

6. Redeeming Points

E.g. If you earn 10 points on February 2016, 10 points will be expired on January 2017.
6.6 When redeeming my points, do I go by the dollar amount or the PV amount in the price list?
When redeeming Essential Rewards points, use the PV amount rather than the dollar value. For example, if you have 50 points, you may redeem them for any product with a PV value up to 50. Points may only be redeemed for products with full PV values. Not all products are eligible, and items purchased with Essential Rewards points are not returnable.
6.7 Can I redeem ER points outside my market?
With over 2 million members worldwide and products shipped to more than 143 countries, we know that many of our members travel the world to share Young Living. So what if you want to redeem your Essential Rewards (ER) points while visiting another market? Here are some guidelines to help you plan ahead and make sure you always have your YL favorites, no matter where your journey may take you: To redeem ER points in a market that is not your home market, you must be present in the market, and you may not redeem ER points on behalf of another member. The market you are visiting may limit quantities or restrict products that you can redeem ER points for.You will be allowed to place only two orders per month with ER points and can redeem only up to 125 ER points total per month in any market other than your home market. If you redeem 125 points on your first order, a second order will not be allowed.You can redeem ER points for the Premier Aroma Collection only once per the life of your account, and this collection can be purchased with ER points only in your home market. (Hong Kong does not carry Premier Aroma Collection)
