WHAT IS THE GENUINE FRED REWARDS PROGRAM?
The Genuine Fred Rewards program is a points-based program with different membership tiers and redemption levels.
If you have any questions about the Genuine Fred Rewards program, please contact us at hello@genuinefred.com. We love talking to you!
WHY SHOULD I JOIN THE GENUINE FRED REWARDS PROGRAM?
When you create an account and become a member of the Genuine Fred Rewards program, you’ll immediately receive access to exclusive benefits. As you continue to spend and engage with Genuine Fred, you’ll unlock more and more Rewards.
WHY AREN'T I GETTING EMAILS?
If you're not getting emails it could mean you've previously unsubscribed from Genuine Fred emails. This would also opt you out of Loyalty emails. If you would like to receive Loyalty emails, you must sign up for our emails again. Just go to the "Best Newsletter, Ever." section below, enter your email, and hit Submit. Then enjoy all the benefits of the Genuine Fred Loyalty Program!
If you already receive promotional emails from us but aren't receiving any Loyalty emails, please contact us at hello@genuinefred.com and we'll look into it.
HOW LONG WILL MY BENEFITS LAST?
The Genuine Fred Rewards program is a lifetime program. Once you reach a tier you will keep those benefits forever* no matter what your points balance is. However, points do expire after 12 months of inactivity, so we hope you'll continue to shop with us!
*If a product was returned that added to a tier increase, a customer may drop a tier.
AM I ELIGIBLE TO JOIN THE GENUINE FRED REWARDS PROGRAM AND RECEIVE MEMBER BENEFITS?
Everyone except unauthorized resellers and employees is welcome to become a member of the Genuine Fred Rewards program and receive benefits. You do not need to make a purchase to create an account.
POINTS
HOW DO I EARN REWARDS POINTS? DO THEY EXPIRE?
There are several ways to earn Rewards points! Check out the list below to learn more.
Sign Up Bonus - Create an account and earn points.
Write a Review - Earn points by writing reviews for the products you purchased through GenuineFred.com, or for the website itself. (Only Verified Buyers, customers who receive review emails after purchasing, will receive points.)
Follow on Social - Follow our Instagram and TikTok pages and earn more points!
Make a Purchase - Earn points for every dollar spent on an order.
Birthday Bonus - Add your birthday to your account and you'll receive a Birthday Gift for your special day.
Your Rewards points will expire after 12 months of inactivity, but you'll keep your tier status.
WHEN DO I GET MY GENUINE FRED REWARDS PROGRAM POINTS?
Points are awarded once your order has shipped in full.
HOW DO I REDEEM MY POINTS?
First, make sure you're logged in to your account. Then go shopping!
Once you're done, go to checkout as usual. Your Rewards will be available via a dropdown list. You can select the number of points you'd like to redeem, then click the "Apply" button and you're done! Please note, Rewards cannot be combined with coupon codes and there is a minimum amount you must spend on a purchase to apply a reward.
$5 discount for 50 points ($0 purchase minimum)
$10 discount for 100 points ($20 purchase minimum)
$15 discount for 150 points ($30 purchase minimum)
$20 discount for 200 points ($40 purchase minimum)
$25 discount for 250 points ($50 purchase minimum)
HOW DO I CHECK MY POINT BALANCE?
As long as you're logged in to your account, your points will display at the top right of every page. You can also check your balance and tier status on your Account page. Just go to the account page and click My Rewards in the menu on the left.
CAN I REDEEM REWARDS WITHOUT PURCHASING ANYTHING?
Our system will not allow $0 orders to process, so you must have at least 1 product in your cart to redeem any Rewards.
CAN I STACK MY REWARDS WITH ANOTHER PROMOTION?
At this time, our system can only accept one discount per order, so you cannot stack Rewards with any other promotion.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TIER I'M IN?
Go to the Account page and log in, then check your tier by clicking on the My Rewards tab in the navigation bar on the left.
WILL PAST PURCHASES COUNT TOWARDS MY STATUS?
Purchases made prior to the Program launch, or those where you weren't logged into your account, will not be eligible for points. As long as you're logged into your account, you will earn points for every purchase.
WHAT IF I ALREADY FOLLOW GENUINE FRED ON INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK?
You must click the ‘Follow us' boxes in the Points section above. This will allow us to see that you already follow and like us on these channels, and the points will then be added to your account.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY NEW POINTS IF I RETURN A PRODUCT? WHAT IF I USED POINTS TO PURCHASE?
When a product is returned, the points you earned from the purchase will be subtracted from your Rewards balance.
If the product was purchased with points, those points will be added back into your account once the return is complete.
WHERE ARE MY POINTS FOR LEAVING A REVIEW?
If you left a review through a review email, your points should be posted to your account within 24 hours.
Please Note: Only Verified Buyers, customers who receive an email requesting a review after purchasing, will receive points for reviews. You must write the review through the link in the review email. It may take up to 24 hours for the points to post to your account.
If it has been over 24 hours and your points are still not reflected in your account, please email us at hello@genuinefred.com and we'll make sure everything gets straightened out.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I WRITE A REVIEW FOR POINTS?
You can write as many reviews as you like, but only one review per product purchased.
Please Note: points will only be given to Verified Buyers of purchased products, for reviews written through review emails.
DO I EARN REWARDS PROGRAM POINTS ON ORDERS THRU THIRD-PARTY PARTNER SITES?
Rewards can only be earned through purchases made directly through GenuineFred.com. Orders placed on Amazon.com or any other partner site will not earn you Rewards Program points.
BENEFITS
DO I QUALIFY FOR FREE SHIPPING?
All our customers qualify for free standard shipping on orders of $49 or more. Forever Friend Tier members qualify for free standard shipping on orders of $25 or more.
HOW DO I REDEEM MY FREE SHIPPING BENEFIT AS AN FOREVER FRIEND TIER MEMBER?
As long as you are logged into your account and have reached the Forever Friend Tier your shipping benefit on orders of $25 or more will be automatically applied to your cart during checkout.
WHY DID I DROP A MEMBERSHIP TIER?
If you reached a new membership tier then made a return shortly after, the points you received for that purchase were subtracted from your total points and your membership status was lowered.
WHAT IS THE FREE BIRTHDAY GIFT AND HOW DO I GET IT?
To receive your free birthday gift, go to the Happy Birthday icon under Ways to Earn Points above, and enter your birthday. Then, on your birthday you'll receive an email with a special birthday link. Just click the link and you'll see your birthday points!
