Earning Gifts
Q. How do I earn gifts through the Essential Rewards program?
A. When you automatically place consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders, you can earn exclusive gifts. You’ll qualify for these gifts after you place consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. After 12 months, you’ll receive gifts after every additional 12 months of consecutive orders.
Q. How will I receive my gifts?
A. The gifts will be added automatically to the next processed Essential Rewards subscription order. For example, if a member reaches their third month in November, the gift for the third month would be added to the Essential Rewards subscription order in December.
Q. If I earn a gift and then don’t process an order, can I re-earn that gift?
A. No. You can only earn each gift one time. For example, you might earn the three-month gift and later cancel your subscription to Essential Rewards. If you subscribe to Essential Rewards again, the next gift you’ll be eligible for will be the six-month gift, not a second three-month gift. If you cancel your Essential Rewards subscription the month after you’ve earned a gift, the gift will come with your next processed Essential Rewards subscription order, should you choose to subscribe to the program again.
Q. If I already have an active Essential Rewards subscription order processing monthly, how do I receive my gifts?
A. We began tracking members’ consecutive Essential Rewards subscription orders starting in September 2016, including the orders of those who maintained active subscriptions to Essential Rewards prior to this time. This means that September 2016 was the first month for everyone to begin qualifying for Essential Rewards loyalty gifts for consecutive orders. Once a member achieves the subscription threshold to receive a loyalty gift, it will be delivered with the next processed Essential Rewards subscription order.
Q. What products are being offered as loyalty gifts?
A. For the United States, the gifts are as follows:
3-month gift: Peppermint Vitality essential oil, 5 ml
6-month gift: Thieves Vitality™ essential oil blend, 5 ml
9-month gift: Tea Tree essential oil, 15 ml
12-month gift: Loyalty, an exclusive blend formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young specifically for Essential Rewards members who order for 12 months!
Q. What happens if a loyalty gift is out of stock?
A. If a loyalty gift is out of stock, a substitute will be made for another product of similar retail value.
