About the Membership Point System
The points system will allow JbyJ members to participate in our online lucky draw, where participants can stand a chance to win great prizes.
There are 3 membership tiers which will be awarded according to the number of points accumulated until a certain point of time (check your profile for the updated expiry date), and the more points the member has, the number of attempts at winning the lucky draw also increases. Prizes and relevant terms and conditions may vary with each lucky draw. The membership tiers are as follows:
-
● Bronze: 0 〜 1,999 points
-
● Silver: 2,000 〜 2,999 points
-
● Gold: 3,000 〜 3,999 points
Participation in the lucky draw will require a specific amount of accumulated points for one chance. Multiple entries are allowed. For more details on how you can use your points during the lucky draw and the lucky draw itself, please check out the announcement when it is out!
