It's true! You can get free oils & YL products by becoming a Young Living Member and signing up for Essential Rewards!

 

Become a Young Living member and have the opportunity to get free oils and products every month! Becoming a YL member is easy; all you have to do is sign up and purchase one of the starter kits . Each month YL has a promotion that highlights some of the YL oils and products and to receive these freebies you must purchase in that month at least 190pv. What is PV? PV means personal volume. Each product has a pv amount listed next to the price and the total volume of all the items you are ordering must add up to 190pv or more to be eligible to receive the free monthly promotional items. That's it! The promotions change monthly and to see which products you can be eligible for check my favorites regularly for updates! 

 

Essential Rewards come into play for those of you who have a membership. You are not required to sell or distribute anything to reap the benefits of an Essential Rewards membership. This can get a bit confusing but in the end I promise it all makes sense. I am not the best at explaing this so I have brought the below information in from a fellow YL Oil lover who has a great blog: Amylovesit.com.

 

What are Essential Rewards?

Essential Rewards (ER) is an autoship program where you purchase 50 PV (product value or point value) every month. Usually, the Product Value is dollar for dollar in price value, but not always. Look at the PV of each product you are purchasing to make sure your PV (not necessarily amount spent) equals 50 every month. With the Essential Rewards program, you will earn points toward future product purchases. This program rewards you for every autoship purchase of 50 PV or more. You are allowed ONE Essential Rewards autoship purchase per month, but can make as many regular orders as you wish. (Regular orders do not accumulate ER points.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The example above is what my ER cart looks like right now. Obviously, I have more than the 50 PV requirement, so your’s does not have to be this much, but I wanted to give you an idea of what multiple items in the cart look like, and how the PV vs. Dollar Amount Spent looks.

 

How do you earn points?

Each month on the Essential Rewards program gets you a certain amount of points – a percentage of what you purchase goes back in points that you can cash in at a later time to buy other wonderful Young Living products. In the first six months (months 1 – 6), you get 10% back in ER point credits. In the next six months (months 7 – 12), you get 15% back in ER point credits. Every month after, beginning with month 13, you get 20% back in ER point credits. That can add up fairly quickly, especially if you are taking advantage of the monthly promos, and even more quickly once you hit month 7. Your points begin to accumulate as soon as your order ships, and you can view your ER points every time you log in to your Virtual Office; they are right there on your main page.

 

How do I get an ER Account?

Online through your Virtual Office: This is where you purchase your YL products. Simply log in, click “Essential Rewards” in the left-hand column, and follow the instructions. Or, call YL at 1-800-371-3515. Or contact Nik to help you! 

 

Do I have to order the same things every single month?

Nope! This is the beauty of the ER program. You can change what you order every. single. month. The only “minimum” you have to reach is 50 PV. There are NO other requirements at all! This is a fantastic way to build your oil supply and try new oils and products. It is super-easy to change your orders each month.

Simply log in to Virtual Office, click on Essential Rewards in the left-hand corner, click the little “Edit” button, the “Add Products” tab, and the “Add Products” or “Remove Products” button to get your cart just like you want it. When you are finished, click the “Save Essential Rewards” button at the bottom. (See below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How do I redeem my points?

After two consecutive months in the program, you can redeem your points by calling Young Living customer support. When redeeming your points, pay careful attention to the item or items’ POINT VALUE, not price. As I mentioned above, most oils have a dollar-for-dollar price-to-point amount, but not all. If you are wondering how much point value you have to “spend,” here is an example: If you have 100 points in your account, you can redeem them for any product with a PV value up to 100 PV. OR if you have 100 points in your account, you can redeem them for multiple products that have a TOTAL PV of up to 100. When redeeming your points, please be aware that they do not cover tax or shipping.

 

I’m in the ER program, and I’ve decided I don’t want it any longer. What happens now?

If you decide the ER program is not a good fit for you, that’s ok! Before you cancel, just make sure to cash in any accumulated ER points because once you cancel, they are gone. Use up those points, and then call YL customer service to cancel, with no penalties. If you even think you are going to be placing an order every month, it is SO worth it to get on the ER program! It will save you a bundle in the long run. Trust me.
