  1. Membership Eligibility and Overview
    1. The Estée Club HK Loyalty Program (“Program”) is offered at the sole discretion of Estée Lauder Hong Kong operated by Estée Lauder (Hong Kong) Limited (“Estée Lauder,” “we,” “our” or “us”). The Program is available to individuals for their personal use only and is limited to one account per individual. Corporations, associations or other groups may not participate in the Program. Individuals who are at least 18 years or older are eligible to become members. The Program may not be used for any business or commercial purpose and we may refuse to create an account for any reason. Employees of the Estée Lauder companies and employees and individuals employed by our business partners or vendors are eligible for membership for personal use only but may be excluded from certain benefits of the Program.
    2. By joining the Program and becoming a Program member, you (individually and collectively, “you,” “your,” or “Member”), agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the Estée Club Loyalty Program: Program Terms and Conditions of Participation (the “Terms”) and by any changes or modifications we may make in accordance with section 6 of these Terms. You should review these Terms and the related policies and FAQs frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Program as they may change from time to time. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services. By enrolling in the Program, you also agree to be bound by the Estée Lauder Hong Kong Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions on our website, which are incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, the Estée Lauder Hong Kong Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions on our website, you cannot participate in the Program. The Program is void where prohibited by law.
  2. Program Enrollment
    1. Eligible individuals may enroll in the Program through one of the following options:
    2. Visit www.esteelauder.com.hk (“Site”) and following the Program prompts to register for the Program.
    3. Visit any freestanding store* or department store counter** operated by Estée Lauder in Hong Kong and Macau (collectively “Stores”, and each a “Store”) and tell a store associate you would like to register for the Program.
    4. You are required to provide your first name, last name, mobile phone number, email address, location and month of birth in order to enroll in the Program. If you enroll at the Site, you must also create a password in order to enroll. You may also have the opportunity to provide us with your preferred salutation, date of birth and age group, but this information is optional. You are solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your account information and for updating it as required. You may update your personal information on the Site.
    5. Only one Program account may be associated with a single email address. In the event of a dispute over the identity of the member enrolled in the Program membership account, the member will be deemed to be the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of enrollment. For purposes of these Terms, the "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to the submitted email address by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.
  3. How the Program Works
    1. The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and for participating in certain brand experiences. You are able to earn points and reach Program loyalty tiers by making eligible purchases or taking certain other Program actions. Once you earn points and reach a certain loyalty tier, you may be eligible for certain benefits and rewards applicable to that tier, which benefits may change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis. Eligible purchases and other opportunities to earn points and reach Program loyalty tiers will be posted on the Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in marketing communications, social media, etc.). Visit our FAQs to learn more about earning points and reaching the Program loyalty tiers.
    2. The Program is a tier-based program determined by the qualifying spend within a single year on eligible purchases and through qualifying activities, beginning on the date when you enroll. There are 3 tiers with associated benefits:
      Level 1, Blue0 – $5,449
      Level 2, Gold$5,500 – $11,999
      Level 3,Diamond$12,000+

      When you join, you’ll automatically be placed in Level 1, Blue and be eligible for all the benefits Level 1 members receive. Once you spend at least $5,500 in your first year, you’ll be automatically moved up to Level 2, Gold. If you spend $12,000 or more in your first year, you’ll qualify for Level 3, Diamond.

      Your status in a particular tier is good for the remainder of the year in which you qualify for that tier and the following full year. After that, you’ll need to spend enough to qualify for that tier each year. For example, if you qualify for Level 2, Gold, during your first year, you’ll maintain Gold status during your second year. But, if you spend less than $5,500 on eligible purchases during your second year, you’ll drop back down to Level 1, Blue status on your second anniversary date.

    3. For your purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program and either (1) be signed into your online account at the time of purchase; or (2) provide your Program member identifying information (e.g. name, registered email address and/or phone number you registered under the Program) to a store associate in a Store at the time of purchase. However, if your membership in the Program is terminated for any reason and you enroll in a new Program account, any purchases made prior to the date you enroll in a new Program account do not qualify for points. Members receive 1 point for every HKD 1 spent on eligible purchases at the Site or in a Store. Eligible purchases include regular priced merchandise and exclude facial services / packages, redemption items, samples and gifts with purchases, shopping bags, global sets, sales tax, state fees, discounts, shipping and delivery charges, and/or other ad hoc promotions and excluded charges specified by us from time-to-time. All points earned from purchases on the Site are pending until your order ships, at which point they are fully matured and capable of redemption. It may take up to 24-48 hours from the time your order ships for points to appear in your account.
      1. In addition to these purchases, you may also earn points for the following actions on the Site. To earn points, please check to make sure you are a Program member and you have logged into your account before completing the actions below. The number of points, if any, awarded for each action is determined by Estée Lauder in its sole but reasonable discretion.

        • Writing product reviews that get published (only at www.esteelauder.com.hk and at a maximum of once per quarter; to earn points, you must be logged in to your Program account to gain points)
        • Earn bonus points for purchases made within the 30 days after your anniversary date
        • Earn bonus points in your birthday month for your first purchase (for Blue tier members) or all purchases (for Gold and Diamond tier members) made
        • Earn bonus points for purchases made during Bonus Points Events.
    4. Purchases made outside of Hong Kong and Macau are not eligible for the Program.
    5. Points are valid for one year from your Program "anniversary date." This is the anniversary of the date you enrolled in the Program and occurs on a 12-month cycle. On your anniversary date each year, your points reset to zero and you start accumulating new points benefits and unlocking new rewards. For those of you who enrolled in “Estée Club” prior to 26 April 2022, you are automatically enrolled in the Program and your point balance from the old program is also migrated to the Program. The cut-off date of such point balance shall remain as 30 June 2022 according to the previous “Estée Club” terms and conditions prior to the Program launch. Thereafter, your anniversary date under the Program shall be 1 July each year.
  4. Program Benefits and Rewards
    1. As a member, you earn points that determine your points benefits plus tier levels and tier benefits. To redeem offers and rewards, you must have accumulated the minimum number of points as established by us for a particular benefit. Product rewards and samples are shipped with product purchases or at a delivery cost on the Site only, or redeemable in-Store. Points may never be exchanged for cash. You must be logged in to your Program account on the Site or provide your Program member identifying information (e.g. name, registered email address and/or phone number) to a store associate in a Store to use your benefits. You will find your eligible offers and rewards (with offer codes if applicable) listed in your personal account. Qualifying members will receive email invitations when event rewards are available if they have not opted-out of receiving Program emails.
      1. Points Benefits: Starting at 2,000 points, you are eligible to redeem some or all of these points for product rewards of certain retail value. Please login to your Program account or visit our Stores to see the latest reward offerings. Reward offerings are subject to availability. These rewards are based on the number of points you have accumulated in a single year as listed below. Once you have redeemed your points reward, your points balance will be reduced by the applicable points value for that reward. You must redeem your unlocked rewards prior to your anniversary date, or the available rewards will expire. On your anniversary date, your points reset to zero and you start accumulating new points and unlocking new rewards.
      2. Tier Benefits: Certain benefits are based on tier level achieved and you are eligible for these benefits while you are in that tier regardless of the number of points you currently have. Tier benefits can be redeemed on the Site or in Stores, depending on the benefit. On your anniversary date, even though your points reset to zero, your initial tier status for the year is determined by the number of points earned in the prior year.
