FAQ

POINTS

How do I earn points?

You earn Rep points by promoting Karmaloop with your rep code that customers enter your at checkout. Posting your rep code in profiles and on blogs, distributing flyers, and sending out tweets, IMs and emails with your rep code will also help you earn points

What is the point conversion from cash to gift code towards clothes?

You earn 50 points for every $10 your people spend using your rep code. You can use it as points towards cash for your pocket or as points for clothes on your back. The point value changes according to how you choose to use it.

Example: Sally spent $20 on a hot new tee from Karmaloop using your rep code…
You earn: 100 points= $1 cash or (your choice) $1.50 off of Karmaloop clothes

What are some other ways to earn points?

Aside from sales, as an active rep you can also earn points by submitting sticker, flyer and banner designs: 250 points towards cash/ 375 points towards clothes; Street team pictures: 200 points towards cash/ 300 points towards clothes; and winning monthly contests can also help you earn points and/or gift codes.

How do I view my points?

Log into your account and scroll down to where it says “View Your Point History” in order to see all of your accumulated points. By clicking on “Redeem Your Points” you can convert them to cash or use them for clothing.

How long do points remain Pending for? What determines if points are approved or canceled?

Points can remain pending for up to 21 business days. We ensure that all sales are 100% successful and all aspects of the order are successful (from payment processing, to shipment, to no returns, etc.). In the event an order placed with your rep code is canceled, the pending points from that sale will be canceled as well.

What are Pending points? Why are they Pending?

Pending points are “pending” to allow the return policy to expire. An automatic system makes sure the order is successful, and then the points will be “approved” and available for you to redeem.

Why were my points canceled?

If they were from an order, it is because the order was unsuccessful. The customer could have canceled the order; the item could have been out-of-stock, etc.   If they were from creative uploads, you didn’t meet the criteria outlined under Submissions.

I just used my own rep code on a purchase – how come I don’t have any points?

You don’t earn points for your own purchases. After all, the whole point of the program is to spread awareness and bring new people to Karmaloop!

GENERAL REP INFO

What do new customers get after I direct them to your site?

They will receive 20% off of their first purchase at Karmaloop and 10% off of every other purchase. If they combine the Rep Code with a Promo Code (ie: a Free Shipping code) the Rep Code will take another 1% off and you will still get credit for the sale.

Can I order flyers/stickers from Karmaloop?

Yes – but you will have to generate $150 worth of sales before we will send you stickers and/or flyers. You can print out your first round of flyers and/or send out emails with your link or posting it on blogs or profiles on online networks. If you have reached this threshold and would like physical flyers, please email: Shelton Contact URL Link Inserted.

Can I download flyers/logos/look books to use to make my own promo material?
Yes, check out the Rep Toolkit here.
My rep code doesn’t seem to be working. Why is this?

If your rep code is not generating the discounted amount, please check with your customers and make sure they are: a) are using the right code; b) are not using the code in conjunction with other promotional codes; c) entering it in the correct place, and; d) not using the code on a limited edition or brands that don’t allow the use of rep codes. They should enter your code in the space that says “Rep Code” NOT “Promo Code/ Gift Code.” Please note that if your rep code is used with another code the discounted amount will only be 1%.

What are some great ways to be a Top Rep?

The reps that are the most successful are the reps who are the hungriest and the most creative! If you can dream it – you can achieve it!  Some of the best reps have their own blogs, online magazines, websites, forums, YouTube video channels, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, AIM Profile, Email signature, etc. all mentioning their KRP code!  The sky is the limit! You can literally earn however much you want! It’s all yours for taking! Now go out there and kill it!
