  1. Loyalty point acquisition and status

5.1. The Member may earn points in the following ways:

  • with each purchase made on the FAUCHON Website and in our partner boutiques in France, according to the following scale: one (1) euro (incl. VAT) spent gives the right to one (1) loyalty point credited (1 euro (incl. VAT) = 1 point);
  • when the Customer benefits from certain "Anniversary Gift", "Double points for Christmas" and "Double points for Easter" advantages subject to the conditions described in Article 6 below.

5.2. The accumulation of loyalty points is triggered from the date the Member joins the FAUCHON Le Club Program.

5.3. The points accumulated are valid for a period of one year from the date of the related purchase that gave rise to the points allocation. Consequently, the points will expire and the Member will no longer be able to benefit from them 12 months after their validation on the Member's account. For example, if the Member accumulates 30 points for an order placed on April 1, 2021 and 50 points for an order placed on June 30, 2021; the 30 points accumulated on April 1, 2021 will expire on April 1, 2022 and the 50 points accumulated on June 30, 2021 will expire on June 30, 2022.

5.4. The points accumulated enable the Member to reach various statuses in the FAUCHON Le Club Program and to benefit from the offers, advantages and discounts associated with his or her status subject to the conditions described in Article 6 below. The FAUCHON Le Club Program has the following three statuses:

  • "Carte Amateur": for Members with 0 to 249 Points
  • "Carte Initié": for Members with 250 to 1199 Points
  • "Carte Passionné": for Members with more than 1200 Points

The Carte Amateur, the Carte Initié and the Carte Passionné are hereinafter referred to together as the "Cards".

The Cards are virtual, so no physical cards will be given to Members.

The Member changes status - and therefore Card - as soon as he/she reaches the number of accumulated points corresponding to a given status. The change from one status to another may be upward or downward. The Member will be informed of any change of status by email.

5.5. Members may, at any time, check their loyalty point balance in the "My Account" area of the FAUCHON Website or request their balance in-store from a sales advisor. This balance is updated within 24 (twenty-four) hours after each purchase.

5.6. In case of cancellation of an order placed on the Website, the points acquired during the placing of the said order shall be deducted from the total number of points accumulated by the Member.
