UMass Rewards Program
The UMass Rewards Program lets you earn points every time you shop. Redeem points for UMass Bucks vouchers to get money off your next purchase.
How It Works
There are 3 tiers of the rewards program. The more you shop, the more points you earn and the sooner you reach the higher tiers!
Earning Points
You can earn points by shopping or by engaging in any of the following activities.
Points don't expire and it's free to join, so there's no risk! Points will reset to 0 if your UMass Rewards Account has been inactive for 12 months (i.e. no purchases made or activity engagement). Points are not transferable to a different account.
The highest tier (Doctorate) is subject to a minimum annual spending amount of $500 to maintain the tier status. If the minimum spending amount is not maintained, the account will move back to the Masters Tier, where there is no spending minimum.
Vouchers are available in increments of $5, $10, and $15 and don't expire until December 31 of the calendar year in which they were redeemed.

UMass Departments are not eligible to join the program.
If you return merchandise that you purchased with UMass Bucks, you will be refunded the amount you paid (excluding the value of the UMass Bucks discount and any other discounts) to the original method of payment. For example, if you placed an order totaling $100 for one item and used a $10 Rewards Cash, we will refund $90 to your original method of payment.
