How I Get Essential Oils For FREE
When I first started my doTERRA journey 3 years ago, I knew right away that I was going to love all the oils! I started with the top 10 oils, but was pretty sure that I eventually would want them all! I was also interested in trying the non-oil products doTERRA had to offer like the supplements, skin care, hair care, and even the toothpaste! So right away I signed up for the Loyalty Rewards Program (aka LRP). I quickly started earning free essential oils and have saved quite a bit of money ordering this way.
What is the Loyalty Rewards Program?
This is the smartest way to order because there are many perks! If you plan to order oils and products on a regular basis, you might as well enjoy the generous purchasing benefits from the LRP Program. This program will allow you to participate in a recurring monthly order that not only qualifies you for wholesale pricing, but also allows you to receive 10-30% of your total purchase back in free product points.
What are Product Points?
Product points accumulate from each LRP order that you place. The percentage of the product points that you earn is based on the kit you purchase at the time you place your very first order. If you started with one of the smaller economy kits, you will start at 10% back. The percentage at which you earn product points grows over time! As long as your LRP order is 50 PV or more every month, your percentage increases 5% every 3 months until you reach 30%.
What is PV?
PV stands for Personal Volume. Each product is assigned a specific PV. In many cases, the PV is equal to the wholesale price of the product. For example, a bottle of Lemon is $10 and 10 PV. One thing to remember is that PV is a separate total from the dollar amount of your orders. Shipping costs and tax do not count as PV, so the dollar amount of your order will generally be more than the PV amount.
How to Earn a FREE product each month!
There is one really cool perk to the Loyalty Rewards Program that I take advantage of every month. It's called the Product of the Month Club! This is how it works....
Place an LRP order between the first and the fifteenth, equal to 125 PV or more and you will qualify for a FREE product. Each month it is different! For my last order, I got a free bottle of Serenity (the restful blend). When I first started using doTERRA, I was able to get essential oils that I had yet to try for free! This really is the best way to maximize the benefits of the Loyalty Rewards Program.
But wait...there is more!
When you order through the Loyalty Rewards Program, you also get to take advantage of the Shipping Rewards Program. Basically, as long as you order a minimum of 50 PV, you will get 100% of your shipping back in points. For example, if you choose $3.99 shipping you will get 4 points added to your account. And even if you choose next day shipping for $24.99, you will get 25 FREE points! It's like free shipping!!
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the same thing every month?
No! This program is completely customizable and can be adjusted at anytime. I have never ordered the products two months in a row.
2) Can I cancel my LRP?
Yes, your order can be canceled any time by contacting member services. I would just suggest that before you cancel, be sure to redeem any free product credits you've accumulated so you don't lose them.
3) Do I have to order 50pv every month?
No, you just have to order a minimum of 1pv to maintain your Loyalty Reward level (%) and also to keep your previously accrued points. However, you will not earn any additional points on an order under 50pv.
4) How long are the points valid?
Reward points expire 12 months from the date of issue.
5) How do I redeem by points?
When placing your order, your virtual shopping cart will give you the option of paying for products with your earned points. There is a $3 redemption fee anytime you use your points. I typically wait until I have about 100 points before I use them.
So What Do I Order Each Month?
There are a few things that I order on a regular basis...On Guard toothpaste, Life Long Vitality Supplements, Slim & Sassy TrimShakes, skincare products, body wash, the Salon Essentials Shampoo and Conditioner, and of course any oils that I am low on.
