- Is it more expensive to shop via FREE SPIRIT Online Mall for Shopping?
- No, you will not spend any more by using our site – and you’ll get the benefit of earning Points! It’s the same price as shopping directly with the retailers, so you won’t miss out on any of their special offers. By using our site you can earn Points on every purchase.
- If I am a member of a retailer’s own loyalty program will I still earn FREE SPIRIT Points?
- Yes, you will still earn Points but we would advise that you don’t purchase any items that you have previously saved to your cart – this could affect receiving your Points. It’s best to start your shopping directly from the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall.
- I signed into my FREE SPIRIT Account and made purchases via the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall for shopping, but my orders aren't showing up in my Account - what's going on?
-
- It takes up to 5 working days for a purchase to display as ‘Pending’.
- It may be that the web browser used at the time of purchase had cookies disabled. Cookies allow us to track your purchase - without them there’s no way for the system to allocate Points to your Account. Read more about cookies.
If you’d like some help figuring out what’s happened, please contact us. - My cookies are enabled but my purchases still aren’t showing up in my Account?
-
Here are some best practice guidelines to help make sure you receive your Points:
- Make sure you sign in to your Spirit account before clicking on the ‘Shop Now’ button in the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall.
- Complete your purchase online, all in one session.
- If you decide after check out that you want to purchase something else, close the retailer site window and start the process again, starting from the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall.
- Don't retrieve previously saved items in your shopping cart; start completely from scratch.
- If you're buying insurance, make sure you start from a completely new quote; don't retrieve a saved one or use a renewal offer if you're already a policyholder.
- Don’t click on another banner or website promoting the retailer before you complete your transaction. If you must visit another site before completing your purchase, please use a different browser to do so. Interrupting the browser session that started from the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall can affect tracking.
- Don't use "refer a friend" programs, again this changes the referrer.
- Telephoning the retailer to complete or modify your order will likely override the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall tracking (and therefore your Points).
- Increasingly some internet security and ad blocking software programs prevent the special tracking codes we need to track your purchases, please disable your program before using the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall.
- Why have my Points been cancelled?
-
Points can be cancelled for a number of reasons. The most common are:
- You have returned the products you purchased to the retailer
- Your payment failed or you didn’t meet the requirements of the retailers credit check
- Your new registration has not been deemed genuine
- Your last click with this retailer didn’t come from the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall
- Your transaction didn’t meet the retailer’s Terms and Conditions
- If a coupon code is used that is not listed on the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall, no Points will be earned
- I forgot to sign in to the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall before shopping with a retailer. Can I still have my Points?
- Sorry, but we’re unable to allocate Points for any purchases that did not originate from the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall. The next time you shop, always access the Retailer’s website via the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall so we can track your visit and allocate Points.
- Are my Points immediately credited to my FREE SPIRIT Account?
-
- When you buy something from a retailer, the transaction will appear in your FREE SPIRIT Online Mall Transaction History as ’Pending’ within 5 working days.
- We'll confirm the transaction with the Retailer before updating the transaction status to 'Approved'. This takes up to 60 days but in some cases it can take longer and is subject to the Retailer's Terms & Conditions.
- Once ‘Approved’ the Points will be posted to your FREE SPIRIT account within 24 hours.
If you need some help claiming missing Points please contact us.
- How do I know how many Points I'll earn?
-
The FREE SPIRIT Online Mall will clearly outline how many Points you'll earn for purchases with participating retailers. In most cases, this will be expressed as a number of Points earned per $1 spent at the retailer.
- For example, if the retailer is offering 2 Points per $1 spent, and your transaction totals $50 (excluding any taxes and shipping) you can expect to receive 100 Points.
- In another example, you may not earn Points per $1 spent, but rather a certain number of Points for a single purchase, or by registering for a service with that retailer. In this instance, you'll receive Points for that one action, but not for subsequent actions or purchases on that retailer's site.
- Will I earn Points for shipping/handling or tax included in my transaction?
- Points are not earned on shipping, handling, tax, or the purchase and/or use of gift vouchers, which for avoidance of doubt, includes gift cards, gift certificates, or any other similar cash equivalents.
- Can I see my FREE SPIRIT Online Mall Points for shopping transaction history?
- Yes, you can see all your transactions whether they are ‘Pending’, ‘Approved’ or ‘Cancelled’ within your Account area.
- Why do I earn more Points with some Retailers than with others?
- It’s the Retailers who decide the level of Points given for shopping with them. Be sure to check out how many Points the retailer offers before completing your purchase.
- Why have I earned more or less Points with same Retailer?
- Points rates can go up or down, and some retailers may offer bonus Points offers from time to time. The current earning rate is always displayed on the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall so remember to look at the current rate to know how many Points you’ll earn.
- There's an online shop I visit frequently, but it's not part of the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall for Shopping. How can I get it added?
- We're constantly adding and looking for new Retailers, so if you know of a great online service or shop that you'd like to see added to our growing list, please let us know.
- What happens if I cancel a purchase I’ve made or want a refund?
- You can cancel purchases and get a refund in the usual way that you would do directly with the retailer, subject to the retailer’s terms and conditions. However, you will not earn Points for any cancelled or refunded orders. If you cancel a purchase after Points have been posted to your Spirit account, we reserve the right to deduct such Points from your account.
- I was interested in a Retailer who is no longer listed, can you tell me why?
- From time to time Retailers may decide they no longer wish to participate in the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall and offer Points to members. When this happens, we thank them for participating and remove them from our listings.
- Can I use my Points to purchase products directly from FREE SPIRIT Online Mall?
- At this time, Spirit Points cannot be used to make purchases through the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall. Any Points earned through the FREE SPIRIT Online Mall will be posted to your FREE SPIRIT account and can be redeemed towards reward flights with TBC
