2.5.       All Points earnt will be valid for 24 months from the date of issue.

2.6.       M-Rewards Voucher redemption does not accumulate towards your M-Rewards Spend and therefore does not accumulate Points. For example, if you purchase an item valued at $100 and use $20 M-Rewards Reward value when making payment for that purchase, your M-Rewards Spend for that purchase is $80 and you will be assigned 80 Points to your M-Rewards Member account.

3.      Rewards –

3.1.       To redeem an M-Rewards Voucher, you must spend $50 or more in a single transaction either in-store or online, excluding shipping costs. M-Rewards cannot be used for payment of laybys or applied to prior purchases.

3.2.       You may not use more than $100 of M-Rewards Voucher points per transaction.

3.3.       Your M-Rewards Voucher is not transferable, cannot be redeemed for cash, cannot used against prior purchases or used for the purchase of gift cards (physical or electronic).

Using your Reward in-store:

When shopping in-store, you must provide the email address you used when joining the Program in order for your Reward to be applied to your transaction by a Merrell Australia team member. Your reward can only be used on purchases valued at $50 or more.

 

Using your Reward online:

When shopping online, you must create an account using the email address supplied when joining the Program and be logged in to your account when checking out, in order for your Reward to be applied to your online transaction. Please note, after you have created your online account, you will be sent a verification email which you need to validate before the account gets created. If you do not validate your email, you will not be able to log into your online account or use your rewards.

Once you are logged in, at the checkout page, your Reward will appear with a prompt to ‘Apply your Reward’ which you must select in order for the Reward to be used as part of payment towards your transaction. Your reward will only apply on orders valued at $50 or more. If you do not select to apply your Reward to the transaction, it will remain unused on your Member account until it expires or is otherwise used.

 

3.4.       Other than any Rewards issued to you, the M-Rewards Program may give you access to Member competitions and events or may include the allocation of surprise gifts and rewards to your account from time to time.

4.      Returns / Refunds

4.1.       If you used a Reward when you made your purchase, the total amount you paid will have been reduced. If you redeem a M-Rewards Voucher for the purchase of multiple items, the application of that Reward’s value will be split proportionally over the products in the order based on the value of each item. For example, if you purchase a pair of shoes and a pack of socks, you might see the bulk of your $30 M-Rewards Voucher being applied to your shoes, based on the value of this item being higher.

4.2.       If your order is cancelled or you choose to return or exchange a product, we will adjust your Member account so that the correct M-Rewards Voucher amount is returned to you. The amount returned will be based on the portion of the M-Rewards Voucher that was applied to the specific product you are returning, as stated above.

4.6.       M-Rewards Voucher redemption does not accumulate towards spending level and therefore does not accumulate points.
