Loyalty Points
WHAT IS THE WIDGET ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER?
This is our way of showing our appreciation to all our loyal shoppers! You'll earn points for all activities on our site, like referring a friend to the website or making purchases (in store and online) . Once you reach 500 points you can redeem those points for a $50 voucher! You can also redeem your vouchers directly online or in one of our 4 flagship stores if you want to. Loyalty vouchers may not redeemed at the Augustine Outlet Store.

- Referring a friend: refer a friend and they get $20 off their very first purchase online with us, if they end up purchasing you get awarded 200 points!

HOW DO I REDEEM MY POINTS?
Click on your points balance on the bottom left hand corner and select the tab called *Redeem Points*. Here you’ll see all the rewards we offer. If you have enough points, you can redeem them for a reward. You can also redeem your points in one of our 4 Augustine Flagship stores by providing your email address.

WHY CAN'T I USE THE REMAINDER OF MY DISCOUNT CODE?
Discount codes can only be used once, any balance remaining will be unredeemable for future purchases. So please choose your voucher values carefully when redeeming your points. You can choose between $50, $100, $150 and $200 discount codes.

WHAT DO 'APPROVED', 'PENDING' AND 'CANCELLED' STATUSES MEAN?
**Approved:** These points can be redeemed on rewards immediately
**Pending:** If you have gained points by purchasing or through the friend referral system, we have a compulsory 14-day pending period. After this period your points will change to ‘approved’ and only then can you use these points to redeem a reward.
**Cancelled:** These points will not be added to your account. For example, this will happen if you cancel or return a purchase (the points will change from pending to cancelled)
WHY IS THERE A 14 DAY PENDING PERIOD FOR ONLINE/ IN STORE PURCHASES AND FRIEND REFERRAL POINTS?
This is to tie in with our returns policy so no short cuts are taken to claim a reward.
