3. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS AND PROGRAM BENEFITS


3.1. The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and/or taking other Program related actions. You are able to earn points and also unlock Program loyalty tiers by making eligible purchases or taking certain other Program actions. You will receive 1 point for every 1 HK Dollar spent on qualifying purchases in any Store or at maccosmetics.com.hk and in addition to these purchases, we may offer more ways to earn and/or accelerate your points from time to time. Eligible purchases and other opportunities to unlock Program loyalty tiers will be posted on the Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in-store, in" marketing emails, social media, etc.). Once you have accumulated points and/or unlock a certain loyalty tier, you may be eligible for certain benefits and rewards applicable to that tier and/or based on the total number of points you have accumulated in an anniversary year, which benefits may change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis. Visit our FAQS for a current list of available benefits.

3.2. The M•A•C LOVER HK Program is a tier-based program determined by the qualifying spend on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, beginning on the date when you enroll. There are 3 tiers with associated benefits:

  • • Tier 1, Lover 0 – HK$999
  • • Tier 2, Devoted HK$1,000 – $1,999
  • • Tier 3, Obsessed HK$2,000

When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Tier 1, Lover and be eligible for all the benefits Tier 1 members receive. Once you spend at least HK$1,000 on eligible purchases in your first year, you’ll be automatically moved up to Tier 2, Devoted. When you spend HK$2,000 or more on eligible purchases in your first year, you’ll be qualified for Tier 3, Obsessed.

Your status in a particular tier is good for the remainder of the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to spend enough to qualify for that tier on yearly basis subsequently. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, Devoted, during your first year, you’ll maintain Devoted status during your second year. But, if you spend less than HK$1,000 on eligible purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Tier 1, Lover status on your second anniversary date.

3.3. For your eligible purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program and you must provide your Program member identification at the time of purchase by logging into your account on the Site or by providing your mobile phone number or your registered email address in any Stores. To earn rewards and benefits, your purchase must be made on qualifying products and services. Eligible purchases include regular priced merchandise and services, and exclude gift cards, discounts, shipping charges, delivery charges and other excluded charges and/or purchases as specified by us from time-to-time, including, but not limited to, charitable products where funds are donated to M•A•C Viva Glam Fund or any other charitable organization, value sets, select premium products and services, and other specified products.

We are not responsible for rewards lost or redeemed due to fraudulent activity by you or any third party. We are not responsible for rewards that are lost, stolen or otherwise destroyed. The sale, barter, transfer, or assignment of any rewards or benefits offered through the Program, other than by us, is expressly prohibited.
