LEGO VIP Reward Terms Changed

July 28, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO VIP Program has been running for a few weeks and it has been met with mixed reactions in the fan community. One of the downsides it had when you redeemed a reward was that you had only 30 days to use it or else your points and rewards were lost forever. LEGO has made a change to this and has extended it from 30 days to 60 days to give you flexibility on when you can use it. As of this writing, the terms still haven’t been changed so I would suggest waiting after it has been changed before you redeem anything.

We’ve listened to our fans and are extending the reward redemption terms from 30 days to 60 days. This includes discount rewards in our LEGO Stores, for phone orders, and on shop.LEGO.com. Please be patient as we work to change the terms on the VIP Rewards Center. There may be some exclusions to this policy, such as rewards that are redeemable with our partners or where legally we cannot change the terms (i.e. sweepstakes).

New LEGO VIP Program Now Live

July 10, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO VIP Program is now live and there are some new things to look forward to including exclusive rewards and sweepstakes. First off, all the VIP points you had are now converted to points to use to redeem items in the rewards center. Some of these items include art prints and exclusive promotional items like the VIP set as well as the LEGO DC Super Heroes Bat-Pod which costs 15,000. As you can see from the image below, I redeemed it using my points but it seems to be glitchy as I should’ve received a promo code to use during checkout but I didn’t get it. I’ve already contacted customer service to see what they say about it.

There are now more ways to earn points besides just making purchases. Some of these things include social media activities like retweeting or sharing posts as well as just clicking on emails that come in from LEGO. Points from your purchases are converted as follows:

US $1 = 6.5 points
CAD $1 = 5 points
£1 = 8 points
€1 = 7.5 points
AU $1 = 4.5 points
NZ $1 = 4 points
10 zl = 1.5 points
1 DKK = 1 point

Points are earned on eligible purchases. Eligible purchases are defined as any service or merchandise available for purchase, excluding gift cards. Points will be earned on purchases made with gift cards at the time the gift card is redeemed. Please note, shipping and taxes are excluded from earning points.
