Tiers and Benefits

What are tiers?

What are tiers?

Tiers indicate your status in the program. There are three tiers. Tier 1 is called Silver, tier 2 is called Gold and tier 3 is called Green.

How do I reach Tiers?

How do I reach Tiers?

Tiers are determined by the number of points a member has earned within a single year on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, beginning on the date when you enroll. There are 3 tiers with associated benefits:

Tier 1, Silver   0 - 2,499 points
Tier 2, Gold   2,500 – 4,999 points
Tier 3, Green   5,000+ points

All members begin as a Silver member when they register for the My Origins Rewards loyalty program. Once you earn 2,500 points in your first year, you will be automatically moved up to Tier 2, Gold. If you earn 5,000 points or more in your first year, you’ll qualify for Tier 3, Green. Your status in a particular tier is good for the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to earn enough points to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Tier 2, Gold, during your first year, you’ll maintain Gold status during your second year. But, if you earn less than 2,500 points during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Silver status on your second program anniversary date.

Tier benefits are valid for as long as you are in a specific tier. If you move down a tier, your benefits change accordingly.

On your anniversary date each year, your tier status resets based on the total number of points you earned in the previous year, regardless of how many accumulated points you currently have in your account. Even though the number of points in your account changes when you redeem these points for rewards, your tier status is determined by the number of points earned only in the year immediately prior to your anniversary date.
