Eligibility

You must be 18 years old or older and a legal resident of the United States to join the AKIRA EXCLUSIVE loyalty program. By enrolling and participating in the AKIRA EXCLUSIVE loyalty program, you represent that you meet these eligibility requirements.

Joining the AKIRA EXCLUSIVE Loyalty Program

You can join the AKIRA EXCLUSIVE loyalty program by verbally agreeing to sign up with a sales associate. Your telephone number is required for membership. AKIRA will not sell your information to 3rd party vendors.

Earning Points

To earn points, you must give the phone number associated with your account when making your purchase, or present your AKIRA EXCLUSIVE card. ID may be required to earn points. You can earn points by shopping at any AKIRA store, excluding the AKIRA online store. You will earn points based on the amount of your qualifying subtotal.

1 point is awarded for each qualifying pre-tax dollar spent.

From time to time, AKIRA may change the rate of points awarded per dollar spent, or reward members with additional points for promotional purposes. AKIRA reserves the right to do so at any time.

Points you earn by shopping will be held in a "pending" status for a 14 day escrow period. After the 14-day escrow period, if they are confirmed by AKIRA, the points will be active in your account and if they reach a threshold for rewards, will automatically transfer to available reward discounts. During the pending status escrow period, AKIRA may review and correct your balance.

Certain purchases do not qualify for earning points. Gift card purchases are not eligible to earn points. Tax exempt transactions and purchases made by tax exempt organizations (e.g. churches, schools, etc.) are not eligible to earn points. Certain styles (including certain event tickets, tax exempt sales, and special items) may also be ineligible for earning points. AKIRA may revise these exclusions from time to time.

Purchases made on the AKIRA online store, or through any website, including special orders placed through shopAKIRA.com while at a brick and mortar store, are not eligible for points.

If you return a purchase for a refund, the points originally earned for that purchase will be subtracted from your total points.

Only one membership account may be used in connection with a purchase. Points will only post to one account per person. AKIRA cannot transfer points between customer accounts. AKIRA can merge two membership accounts if they belong to the same person, however this process will require documentation and will not be handled immediately at the stores.

Points are subject to change at any time at AKIRA's sole discretion. Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards. Points are not transferable. Additional terms and conditions and restrictions may apply, without notice, at AKIRA's discretion.

Turning Points into Rewards

Points are automatically transferred into reward discounts, following a 14 day escrow period, after an account has reached the point threshold to earn rewards. According to AKIRA's Exchange Policy, returns are only accepted within 14 days of purchase. If a return is made during the escrow period and the point deduction brings the point value of the account below the threshold to earn rewards, then the points will not transfer into rewards. Once points have been transferred into rewards, this process cannot be reversed.

Reward discounts are based on a customer's total points earned following the escrow period. Reward discounts are redeemed in redeemed in $10 increments, at a rate of $10 discount per 500 points.

Reward discounts, including redemption rates and value, are subject to change at any time at AKIRA's discretion.

Redeeming Reward Discounts

You can redeem reward discounts at any physical AKIRA store. The reward discounts are treated as a discount at time of transaction. The reward value redeemed will be deducted from your account. Certain items may be excluded from reward redemption, including non-discountable styles and gift certificates. Tax exempt transactions are not eligible for Akira Rewards discounts. Any purchases made by tax exempt organizations (e.g. churches, schools, etc.) are not eligible for Akira Rewards discounts.

Your AKIRA EXCLUSIVE reward card or phone number will be required to redeem reward discounts. Additionally, your ID must be presented and match the name on the AKIRA EXCLUSIVE account to redeem reward discounts.

Once a reward discount has been used, the discount portion of the sale is final. No reward discounts will be refunded back to a customer's account, at any time. If a customer makes a return or exchange on a purchase in which a reward discount has been applied, he/she will only receive a refund (store credit) for the post-discount purchase and the value of the reward discount will be forfeited.

Reward discounts are subject to change at any time at AKIRA's sole discretion. Reward discounts have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards. Reward discounts are not transferable.
