DrFrankenstein Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I was looking into my VIP Points balance on S@H (USA) and found to my great surprise that my 562 points are now worth $25 (instead of $56). I have always thought that VIP points were converted to USD at 10:1 exchange rate, but now they are 20:1. Has LEGO reduced recently the USD value of VIP points or I am missing something? I am very confused... Quote
Dhivael Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) It's $5 for every 100 points. You earn 1 point for every dollar you spend. So $25 is right, sorry. Edited November 12, 2013 by Dhivael Quote
DrFrankenstein Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Ok, you are right... I just checked my order history where I used VIP points and found that in 2012 I got $60 discount for using 1200 VIP points. So it's $1 to 20 points. So, everything's normal... I got confused I guess. Edited November 12, 2013 by DrFrankenstein Quote
ShaydDeGrai Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I think one minor point of confusion might have arisen from Double VIP months (and other similar promotions). VIP points have always been redeemed at a 20:1 ratio - effectively 5% of your current purchase applied to a future purchase - but double point promotions effectively get you a 10% of current dollars applied to a future purchase because you got twice as many points for the same amount of money spent. In any case, the rules haven't changed, it's always been 20:1 regardless of what the dollars spent-to-points earned ratio was. Quote
