Following the conclusion of that qualifying calendar year, Member tier status will be valid for the next calendar benefit year after qualification. Annual tier assignments occur in January of each year. Members will be upgraded during the benefit year if their qualifying spend exceeds their tier threshold. Members should allow 30-45 days for purchases to process before Member is placed into a different loyalty tier. Any member with an open J.Crew Credit Card account will be automatically upgraded from the Green Access tier to Navy Access tier, regardless of the amount of total spend (no upgrades are given from Navy Access tier to Gold Access tiet; the J.Crew Credit Card must remain open during the applicable calendar year to keep the upgraded tier status), A summary of the tiers and benefits follows:

REDEEMING POINTS

Points will accumulate toward rewards, the means by which will be described in these Terms and Conditions and/or related promotional offers.

Member may redeem their Rewards when purchasing items and/or services either (1) at a Store by giving the Company associate your Member account email address and requesting redemption; (2) online at a Website by selecting the Rewards box at checkout; or (3) via the Contact Center for phone orders. If Member elects to redeem their Rewards, the value of the Rewards will be deducted from the total price of the Member’s purchase of items from a Store or a Website. The full value of the Rewards redeemed will be removed from your account even if the cart value is lower than the Rewards value. Points and Rewards will expire as set forth below.


Rewards are solely promotional and will not be paid out in cash or store credit. Company may, at any time and without notice, change the Points earning and redemptions procedures and offerings, including the conversion rate between Points and redemption dollars.


Rewards may only be redeemed once. In the event of a return of merchandise purchased using a reward, the reward will be forfeited.


Rewards may not be applied to the purchase of gift cards.


To the extent allowed by applicable law, we may cancel any accumulated Points if we become insolvent, unable to pay our debts when due, file an action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or have such an action filed against us.
