Earn Perks
Lifetime status
Earn it once. Keep it for life.
Most loyalty programs make you start again every year. EcoPerks does not. Every perk you earn counts towards your lifetime total, and your lifetime total decides your tier. It only ever goes up, and every tier you reach is yours to keep.
Earned once, kept for life
Your tier can never be downgraded. Not for a quiet year, not for a smaller budget, not for a long break.
Spending perks never costs you status
We track two numbers. Your lifetime perks decide your tier and only ever go up. Your available perks are the ones you spend. Redeeming changes only the second.
Every good action counts
Shopping with eco-committed merchants is the start. Verified environmental actions, learning and referring friends all add to the same lifetime total.
For every 5,000 perks you earn, EcoPerks plants a tree in your name. It appears on your dashboard with a certificate, so as you climb from Seed to Guardian you can watch your forest grow.
The EcoPerks status promise
- Your tier can never be downgraded
- Your lifetime perks never reset and never decrease
- If the program ever changes, the status you have earned is protected
- Status is earned through genuine action. It cannot be bought or fast-tracked

Questions
Good to know
Will I lose my tier if I stop shopping for a while?
No. Your tier is based on your lifetime total, which never decreases, and it is protected by our Status Protection Guarantee. A quiet year, a smaller budget or a long break will never drop you down a tier.
Does spending my perks lower my tier?
No. Your lifetime perks decide your tier and only ever go up. Your available perks are the ones you can spend. Redeeming perks changes only your available balance.
How do I move up faster?
Every tier earns perks faster than the one before, from 1x at Seed to 2.5x at Guardian. Shopping with EcoPerks merchants is the main way to earn, and verified environmental actions, learning and referring friends all count towards your lifetime total too.
What are waypoints?
Tiers are far apart, so between them there are waypoints: milestones that mark your progress with a badge, a printed report, a posted seedling pack, a community event or an experience. Each one also shows how many trees your perks have planted.
Can I buy a higher tier?
No. Tiers are earned through genuine, long-term activity. That is what makes a Guardian's status mean something.
What happens to my status if the program changes?
Anything you have earned is grandfathered. If EcoPerks is ever restructured, your tier stays.
