MyFreedom Benefits
11. To be eligible for myFreedom Member Benefits you must identify yourself as a myFreedom Member before purchase, by quoting your mobile phone number, email or myFreedom Member number and/or name in-store with identification.
12. myFreedom Members are entitled to the everyday Benefit of a $50 myFreedom Reward Voucher for every $1,500 Qualifying Spend at Freedom, within a rolling 12-month period from the date of the first Completed Transaction within that period. For example, if today’s date is 1 April 2023 and a member receives goods worth $100 and has previously spent $100 for goods received on 2 April 2022, and $1300 on 1 December 2022, they would qualify for a $50 myFreedom Reward Voucher. However, if today is 3 April 2023 then they would no longer qualify for the $50 myFreedom Reward Voucher.
13. Freedom may also provide other Benefits to Members, which may differ from Member to Member, in its sole discretion. For example, Freedom may update a Member account with a Reward Voucher as a result of a purchasing behaviour, incentive and/or promotional activities.
14. Examples of Benefits that Freedom may provide to its Members generally, in its sole discretion, from time to time include extended product return periods, and free shipping on homewares.
15. myFreedom Reward Voucher/s shall be loaded onto a Member’s myFreedom account and can be redeemed in-store and also online at the Website.
16. myFreedom Reward Voucher/s can be used in whole or part against future purchases at Freedom, in-store and online, but no change can be given.
17. myFreedom Reward Voucher/s is only valid for a period of three (3) months from the date of issue and no unused balance will be refunded or credited after expiry.
18. Where a Valid Purchase is made in-store or online Qualifying Spend will be calculated approximately 48 hours after the date of the Completed Transaction. Any applicable myFreedom Reward Voucher will be loaded onto the myFreedom account within approximately 48 hours of the Completed Transaction. For example, if a Member buys cushions and takes them home on the day of purchase and orders a sofa in the same transaction the Member will receive the Reward Voucher approximately 48 hours after the final item on the transaction has been delivered and the transaction is finalised in Freedom’s system.
19. Freedom reserves the right to introduce a new Benefit, or to withdraw, cancel or vary a Benefit without notice and at any time for any reason whatsoever in its absolute discretion including without limitation a Reward Voucher awarded in error or a Reward Voucher earned fraudulently.

30. A Reward Voucher can only be redeemed once.

33. Returns: If a customer wishes to return a purchase for reasons other than that the goods are faulty or misdescribed:

b. any Reward Voucher redeemed or utilised during the original purchase can be honoured for an exchange if the exchange takes place on the same day as the return, otherwise it will be forfeited;
