16. To accumulate StarPoints, the following must be presented at a Participating Establishment prior to making payment for a qualifying purchase: a. a Member’s mobile phone number; b. unique In-App identifier number; orc. unique In-App QR code.
17. Any StarPoints earned will be added to that Member’s account within 48 hours from the point of payment at the Participating Establishment. If payment is made pursuant to receipt of an invoice, StarPoints will be added your account within 30 days from the point of payment. Star does not permit the use of a Member’s StarSocial account for use with any other person’s payment.
18. StarSocial Members earn 1 StarPoint for every NZ$10.00 spent in any one transaction. StarPoints can be earned on qualifying purchases up to a total spend of NZ$10,000.00 in (i) any one day; or (ii) a single booking. For illustration purposes, a booking was made for an event or function, and the total cost was $15,000. If for any reason, the full payment for this booking was made over several days, the maximum number of StarPoints that may be earned for this booking is 1000 StarPoints.‍
19. The discounts and/or benefits offered under StarSocial rewards shall not be used in conjunction with other discounts offered at a Participating Establishment. In such cases, and as much as possible, the more favourable discount shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, this is not a guarantee and is always subject to Star’s ability to amend the terms at any time without prior notice to you, and all decisions by Star shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion, and are final.
20. If a Member forgets to present their StarSocial Account details at the time of a qualifying purchase, any StarPoints that would have been earned are able to be retrospectively added if the Member sends an electronic copy of their valid receipt to  starsocial@stargroup.nz within fourteen (14) calendar days of the qualifying purchase date.
21. A record of all StarPoints earned will be kept in the Member’s account maintained on the StarSocial system.
22. Any alleged inconsistencies in a Member’s account should be reported to Star. In the case of any dispute, the decision of Star is final and binding.
23. Each StarPoint or Migrated Point earned enables you to earn 1 Level Credit, and Level Credits will enable you to unlock various StarSocial Membership Levels to access special offers that are available at each level. Level Credits expire twelve (12) months from the date they are first earned.
24. The quantity of Level Credits and StarSocial Membership Level are reviewed daily to assess whether your StarSocial Membership Level should be adjusted or maintained. In this regard, each day of review shall be referred to as a “Date of Assessment”.
25. The number of Level Credits earned within the preceding twelve (12) months from the Date of Assessment will determine the StarSocial Membership Level.
26. For Kapura Social Club and Joylab Rewards members, the first Date of Assessment to determine the StarSocial Membership Level shall be 16 February 2024.
27. For all newly registered StarSocial Members, the first Date of Assessment is the date that your first qualifying StarSocial purchase is made, and the corresponding StarSocial Membership Level shall be determined accordingly.

‍Redemption of StarPoints

27. StarPoints may be redeemed for certain discounts and reward items. Redemption of StarPoints can only take place after registration has been completed online at www.stargroup.nz/starsocial-register. Any amount paid using the redemption of StarPoints will not enable you to earn StarPoints on that amount.
28. Each StarPoint entitles the Member to redeem a NZ$1.00 discount, which may be used to offset the cost of your next qualifying purchase. For example, a Member who has 100 StarPoints is able to redeem all of them by deducting up to NZ$100.00 from their next qualifying purchase. You must inform the staff at the Participating Establishment of your intention to use StarPoints to pay/part-pay for a qualifying purchase prior to completing payment.
29. You may be able to use StarPoints to redeem listed reward items on the Application. The required number of StarPoints for each reward item will be displayed on the Application. The reward items on offer may change at any time and are subject to availability at the Participating Establishments.
30. The StarPoints and reward items regardless of their condition, quality, merchantability or fitness for use, are not exchangeable for cash or credit unless specifically stated otherwise.
31. The number of StarPoints redeemed will be deducted from the Member’s StarPoints balance. The oldest StarPoints will be deducted first.
32. Redemption of StarPoints in accordance with the provisions above does not result in a reduction of the overall number of Level Credits accumulated for the purpose of assessing the StarSocial Membership Level.  For illustration purposes, a Member accumulated 250 Level Credits within the preceding twelve (12) month period from the Date of Assessment, thus achieving a specific StarSocial Membership Level. If the Member decides to redeem 50 StarPoints, the specific StarSocial Membership Level remains the same.
33. More details on the StarSocial Membership Levels and corresponding offers may be found in the StarSocial Application. Star may amend the terms and conditions for each StarSocial Membership Level

StarPoints expiry, deductions and termination

34. Kapura Social Club and Joylab Rewards members have a period of 183 days from 16 February 2024 to redeem the Migrated Points, after which they will automatically expire and become void.  For the avoidance of doubt, the expiration outlined in this clause will not impact your StarSocial Membership Level attained.
35. StarPoints, for the purposes of redemption, will automatically expire and become void 183 days after the date on which they were accumulated. Accordingly, they will be deducted from the Member’s account balance at that time. For the avoidance of doubt, the deduction outlined in this clause will not impact your StarSocial Membership Level.
    
    Following the illustration above, assuming the Member redeemed 50 StarPoints, the Member would have 200 StarPoints remaining. If the Member does not redeem these 200 StarPoints within 183 days from the date of accumulation, these 200 StarPoints will expire. Nonetheless, these 200 StarPoints will still contribute to the relevant Star Social Membership Level attained for a further 182 days from the date of accumulation.‍
36. StarPoints, for the purposes of redemption, will automatically expire and become void 183 days after the date on which they were accumulated. Accordingly, they will be deducted from the Member’s account balance at that time. For the avoidance of doubt, the deduction outlined in this clause will not impact your StarSocial Membership Level. Following the illustration above, assuming the Member redeemed 50 StarPoints, the Member would have 200 StarPoints remaining. If the Member does not redeem these 200 StarPoints within 183 days from the date of accumulation, these 200 StarPoints will expire. Nonetheless, 250 Level Credits will still contribute to the relevant StarSocial Membership Level.
37. If StarPoints are added to a Member’s account in error or fraudulently, Star may deduct those StarPoints. If StarPoints were earned on a transaction that was later cancelled, refunded or voided, Star may deduct the StarPoints associated with that transaction.
38. If either you or we cancel or terminate your StarSocial Membership, any unused StarPoints become void. All decisions by Star are final.
39. We may discontinue or suspend StarSocial at any time. If StarSocial is discontinued, you will have three (3) months in which to redeem any unused StarPoints. After this time, your StarPoints will be void and your StarSocial Membership will be terminated. You will not be able to accumulate StarPoints from the date that StarSocial is discontinued.
