The Programme is structured in such a way as to offer certain rewards and benefits upon reaching the threshold of Points corresponding to one of the four predefined tiers, as illustrated below in the “Rewards List” table, Annex A to these Regulations.

 

Points and Tiers 

Following the successful registration in the Programme, for each purchase made in   Rinascente stores , through the On Demand channel and/or online on the website www.rinascente.it, the Cardholders will automatically receive 1 “R” point for every Euro (1 €) spent (each Point will correspond to one R) reflecting the total amount spent and shown on the receipt or online order confirmation. 

The minimum amount to be spent for receiving points is one euro (€ 1). 

For example: 

• A spending of € 50.00 will entitle the Cardholder to 50 “R” points;
• A spending equal to or less than € 0.99 will not entitle the Cardholder to any “R” point;  
• A spending of € 1,523.00 will entitle the Cardholder to 1,523 “R” points. 

In the case of a total spending with decimal figures, the calculation of “R” points will i be rounded up.

• A spending of € 26.50 will entitle the Cardholder to 27 “R” points;
• A spending of € 623.80 will entitle the Cardholder to 624 “R” points.

The shipping costs and tailoring costs incurred by the Cardholder are also valid for the purpose of earning R points. 

The purchase of a Rinascente "Gift Card" and a Rinascente "Carta Voglio Te" does not entitle the Cardholder to earn R points, while purchases made using a Rinascente "Gift Card", a Rinascente "Carta Voglio Te" or “Refund Card” will entitle the Cardholder to earn R points.

Rinascente reserves the right to offer, in the course of this Reward Scheme, additional promotions as a benefit for its customers. In particular, extensions of a Reward Scheme, additional bonuses or better conditions for the Cardholders may be contemplated. These conditions will be communicated to the Cardholders from time to time by Rinascente depending on the  initiative being  promoted. 

In the case of purchases in  Rinascente stores , the Points will be earned by using the Rinascentecard at the time of purchase, or, alternatively, after providing the salesperson with the personal data associated with the Rinascentecard. After the purchase, the Points will be subsequently credited to the Cardholder’s account. 

However, in the case of purchases of products from spaces managed by third parties (for example at the Louis Vuitton, Unieuro, Nespresso, ) for which a receipt is not to be issued by Rinascente but instead by the third party salesperson, the Points will be credited only upon request by the Customer to the Customer Service at the stores or by contacting, within the calendar year of purchase, the Customer Service as explained on the website www.rinascente.it. Rinascente reserves the right to process the R points upload within 15 days from the date of receipt of the request. 

In the event of purchase of products from spaces managed by third parties, as described above, the Cardholdersmust keep the document proving the purchase made until the Points linked to it have been credited.

In the case of online purchases on the website www.rinascente.it, the Cardholders must log in to their account and finalise the purchase; only when the order is confirmed and is sent by Rinascente, in compliance with the General Terms and Conditions of Sale posted on the website www.rinascente.it, can the Points related to the purchase be accrued. The Points will be credited to the Cardholder' personal account after the purchase. 

Similarly to the in-store purchases from spaces managed by third parties, also in the case of online purchases on the website www.rinascente.it of products in the marketplace, for which the selling is done by  a Partner of  Rinascente, the Customers will accrue the Points corresponding to the total amount spent  when the order is confirmed and sent by the partner  in compliance with the Online General Terms and Conditions of Sale posted on the website www.rinascente.it,. Marketplace products are sold by the Partner on www.rinascente.it website. The Cardholders can verify within the product sheet whether the product is sold by a Partner..

For orders placed through the On Demand channel, the R points will be awarded with the issuance of the receipt relating to that order.

For catalogue orders placed in the stores , the R points will be awarded when the final receipt is issued at the same time as the delivery of the product.

For catalogue orders placed online, the R points will be accrued only when the order is confirmed and shipped by Rinascente.

For any problem concerning any failure to credit Points to their account, the Cardholder may contact the Customer Service as explained on the website www.rinascente.it and Rinascente will resolve the issue and will credit the Points within 15 days from the date of receipt of request. 

There is no limit to the number of Points that a Cardholder can earn through purchases. The Points have no cash value and cannot be transferred or sold to third parties. 

Rinascente reserves the right to carry out the necessary checks on the proper participation of a Cardholder in the Programme, for example by revoking Points credited for purchases that do not fall within the intended use of the Programme; in any case, the account may be suspended or closed at the sole discretion of Rinascente. 

If a purchased item is returned, these Points earned by the Customer will be deducted from the total accumulated Points. The return of items purchased both online and in store will result in the automatic deduction of the Points from the account once Rinascente has confirmed the completion of the return.  

In the event of a return, the Cardholder may go into a negative balance of Points, when the value of the return is higher than the balance of Points. Cardholders will not lose the tier acquired thanks to the balance of Points earned in the previous year period.

The accumulation of Points is aimed at achieving one of the four pre-established tiers (from 1st to 4th), to which the Rewards indicated in Annex A correspond. 

Starting from the beginning of the Reward Scheme, at the time of registration in the Rinascentecard Programme, each new Customer is automatically assigned to the 1st tier.  It will be possible for Cardholdersto earn Points from the registration in the Reward Scheme program until 31/12/2024, after which the Points earned  up to that time will be reset, without prejudice to the possibility that Rinascente decides, at its own sole discretion, to extend the deadline. In this case, notice may be given as follows: in  Rinascente stores and/or on the website www.rinascente.it and/or by email. Starting from 01/01/2025 and until 31/12/2025 it will be possible for Customers to accumulate points again, starting from the zeroed balance.

On 01/01 of each year each Customer, on the basis of the points accumulated in the previous year, will be assigned the level or tier to which they belong as indicated in Annex A, and will remain in this level until 31/12 of the year of reference.

Rinascente undertakes to implement measures aimed at controlling and continuing the Programme in compliance with the proper and in good faith participation of Customers.
