A) If you are a premium customer then you have to be logged in to your account, otherwise the shopping cart won’t know to give you the discount. Once logged in to the account and the website calculates that you are a premium customer all the prices you see will be with the discount applied.
A) When you login to your account the second option on the left hand side is ‘orders’. Click into this and you can see your previous invoices. At this time you would have to add up the orders between the 1st Jan – 31st Dec of one year to see if you have spent £350. We are working on creating a total spend for each year.

A) If you spend £350 this year your 15% discount will continue to the end of the following year. If you do not spend £350 within the following year then you will lose the premium status at the end of that year.
Q) If I am a premium customer do I still get free shipping and 10% off over the other listed offers?
A) Premium customers will still get the free shipping on orders over £30 as described above but the 15% discount will be applied to any value order. It cannot be combined with any further offer given in newsletters or any other promotional material.
A) No unfortunately not. The premium status gives you 15% off and overrides the loyalty point scheme in the retail shop.
