14. Loyalty discounts provided at any level of loyalty membership are subject to the terms and conditions associated with that discount provided by the relevant partner. Beer Fans is not responsible if a discount offering by a partner changes at any time, or for any exclusions that may apply.

 

ENTRIES INTO PROMOTIONAL DRAWS

15. Loyalty members accumulate entry/ies for each continuous month that they hold a membership. Entries are generated based on your current loyalty membership level. This means if you have held a loyalty membership for six months and have changed your membership status from one membership level to another during that time, the total number of entries you receive in a draw will be calculated in accordance with the membership level you hold at the time of the entries being generated for a specific giveaway and the tiers you have had previously. Yearly membership entries accumulate per billed year. Entries are provided upfront and are valid for the year, once the next year commences and the bill is paid you, receive that number of entries onto again.

 

Example: If you hold a premium membership for four months you will receive 16 entries into a promotional draw. However, if you then decide to downgrade your membership to the entry-level membership for your fifth month and we generate entries for a promotion while you’re on the entry-level tier, you’ll only receive five entries. If you then upgrade back to the premium membership for your sixth month, and we generate entries for a promotion you will receive 21 entries for that promotion. If you then decide to upgrade to an elite membership the following month, this does not upgrade your previous months at a lower tier, they will be generated with the entry amount stated with the elite entries going on top of that total, as-long-as you stay at that tier. Please note that if you are on the elite membership and have previous months at entry or premium those months will be generated based on the stated entry amounts.  If you are on a premium membership and have elite months and premium months paid, they’ll be generated at 4 entries per month. If you’re at entry level all entries will be generated at 1 entry per billed month. 

 

16. Loyalty membership entries into promotional draws are generated before the relevant promotion period commences. Please check the Beer Fans member portal via shop/members. If your entries are not showing inside your portal or on the app, please first check to make sure your app is up to date (if relevant), then contact us at support@beerfans.shop.
17. Entries into promotional draws are otherwise subject to the terms and conditions associated with the relevant promotion, which should be read in conjunction with these membership terms and conditions.
