Reward Point Program FAQ

1. What is the Reward Point Program?

To thank you all for your support and to offer future incentives to you we wanted to give something back, this is why we have launched this great Reward Point Program.

Our Reward Point Program is as simple as it sounds. While shopping at InkDepot.com.au you will earn Shopping Points for the money you spend.

Once earned, you'll be able to use those points to pay for future purchases at InkDepot.com.au.

The Reward Point Program began on Monday 28 July, 2008 . All purchases made after that date will earn points.

2. How does the Program work?

When an order is placed, the total amount * of the order will be used to calculate the amount of points earned. These points are added to your Shopping Points account as pending points.

All pending points are listed in your Shopping Points account and will stay there until approved/confirmed by InkDepot.com.au.

Once any pending points have been approved, they will be released and your account will be credited with the value of those points. Ready for you to spend on whatever you want.

You must login to your account in order to view the status of your points.

During the checkout procces you'll be able to pay for your order with your points balance.

* in most cases shipping fees and taxes excluded. See refered FAQ for more details.

3. Points and Values

Currently, for every $1.00 Inc GST spent at InkDepot.com.au you'll earn 1 point for Genuine Cartridges and 2 points for Compatible Cartridges. Each point is currently worth $0.01.

4. Redeeming Shopping Points

If you have a balance in your Shopping Points Account, you can use those points to pay for purchases made at InkDepot.com.au. You may also choose to purchase loyalty products from the Points Rewards. Points will be automatically redeemed against the value of the selected loyalty products in the Points Rewards including covering any applicable taxes and shipping (shipping costs will only be redeemed automatically if the loyalty product is the only product being purchased at that time).

During the checkout process, on the same page that you select a payment method, there will be a checkbox that you need to select in order to redeem points against your purchase. By ticking the box, the maximum number of points required to complete the purchase will be used. Please note, you will still have to select another payment method if there is not enough points in your Shopping Points Account to cover the cost of your purchase or the value of the purchase exceeds the maximum number of points permitted to be redeemed in a single purchase (refer to Reward Points FAQ #7).

Continue the checkout procedure and at the confirmation page you'll notice that the value of the points redeemed will have been credited towards your order. Once you confirm your order, your Shopping Points account will be updated and the points used deducted from your balance.

5. Minimum Points Required

Currently, no minimum balance is required to redeem your points. Please note, you'll still have to select another payment method if there isn't enough points in your Shopping Points account to cover the cost of your purchase or the value of your purchase exceeds the maximum number of points permitted to be redeemed in a single purchase (refer to Reward Points FAQ #7).
