What are accumulated spends? How do I earn them?

Accumulated spends are used for the maintenance and upgrading of your membership and membership tiers.

You earn them from making purchases from any of the 3 TEM stores or from https://theeditorsmarket.com. Note that all accumulated spends exclude discounts, shipping and store credit usage.

Will my accumulated spend get carried forward?

No, your accumulated spend will be reset to $0 on the expiry date of your membership. The only case where your accumulated spend is carried forward is when you have upgraded to a higher level tier, but have excess accumulated spend from the required amount needed for the upgrade.

Will my membership tier expire?

For White members, your membership will never expire but your accumulated spend will expire after the 12-month period.

If you have not made any purchases with TEM prior to 1st December 2021, the 12-month period starts from the date of the first purchase that you make as a Club Discovery member. If you have made purchases with TEM prior to 1st December 2021, the 12-month period starts from1st December 2021.

For Black and Gold members, your membership will last for 12 months from the date of your upgrade.For members starting your journey in Club Discovery as a Black / Gold member, the expiry date of your membership tier is 12 months from 1st December 2021.

How do I maintain my membership tier benefits?

Once you qualify for Black member / Gold member, you will be at that level for a full year from the date you qualified. You will then have 1 year to accumulate $300 and $800 respectively to extend your Black membership and Gold membership for another year.

If you do not accumulate the required spends, you will be downgraded to a lower membership tier depending on your total accumulated spend during the 1 year period. Your accumulated spend will be reset at the end of the 1 year period and will not be brought forward.

Example 1: Joanne is a Black member who accumulated $350 within the 1 year period. Her Black membership tier will be renewed for another year.

Example 2: Sarah is a Black member who accumulated $810 within the 1 year period. She would be automatically upgraded to Gold member on the day that her accumulated spend hits $800. The excess of $10 will count towards the renewal of her membership for the following year.

Example 3: Hazel is a Gold member who accumulated $1,600 within the 1 year period. She will be able to renew her membership for another 1 year from the expiry date of her membership.

Example 4: Abigail is a Gold member who accumulated $400 within the 1 year period. She will be downgraded to Black member on the expiry date of her membership.

Example 5: Melissa is a Gold member who only accumulated $250 within the 1 year period. She will be downgraded to a White member after her Gold member tier expires.

If I accumulate more than the required amount in a single purchase, will the excess amount count towards the accumulation of spend for tier upgrades or tier renewal?

Yes, any excess amount will count toward both tier upgrades and tier renewal.

I have an existing account with TEM previously, will my points and store credits be transferred to the new account?

For members who had an existing account with TEM prior to 1st December 2021, and had made purchases under that programme, your points were automatically converted to $10 store credits when you accumulated $200 spend. These store credits will be ported over to the new programme, and you will be able to view the store credits you have in your account here.

For any remaining points in your account that were not converted to store credits by 1st December 2021, they will be transferred to your account under Club Discovery, and these points will have an expiry date of 30th November 2022, 1 year validity from the launch date of Club Discovery.

I have an existing account with TEM previously, what will my tier in Club Discovery be?

All existing members will be allocated to 1 of the 3 tiers based on their accumulated spend for the past 12 months prior to the launch of Club Discovery (1st December 2021).

• White members have accumulated spend of less than $300
• Black members have accumulated spend of at least $300
• Gold members have accumulated spend of at least $800

Spends include all purchases online and in-stores, but exclude discounts, shipping and store credit usage.

You can log in to your account on our website to access your membership details from the dashboard.
