Bhd., the operator Estée Lauder in Malaysia (Company No. 99701036692(452192-H)), with an address of Suite 18.01, Level 18, Centrepoint South, The Boulevard, Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 59200 (“Estée Lauder,” “we,” “our” or “us”). The Program is available to individuals for their personal use only and is limited to one account per individual. Corporations, associations or other groups may not participate in the Program. Individuals who are legal residents of Malaysia and at least 18 years or older are eligible to become members. At least one (1) qualifying purchase is necessary to join the Program. The Program may not be used for any business or commercial purpose and we may refuse to create an account for any reason. Employees and individuals employed by our business partners or vendors are eligible for membership for personal use only but may be excluded from certain benefits of the Program.
- By joining the Program and becoming a Program member, you (individually and collectively, “you,” “your,” or “Member”), agree that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by these Program Terms and Conditions of Participation (“Terms”) and by any changes or modifications we may make in accordance with Section 6 of these Terms. You should review these Terms and the related policies and FAQs frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to the Program as they may change from time to time. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services. By enrolling in the Program, you also agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy found on https://www.esteelauder.com.my/ (the “Brand Site”), which are incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms or our Brand Site Privacy Policy, you cannot participate in the Program. The Program is void where prohibited by law.
- Program Enrollment
- Eligible individuals may enroll in the Program through one of the following options:
- Visit Estée Lauder retail store or Estée Lauder counter at a Program-participating department store counter or visit our chat & shop platform in Malaysia (collectively, the “Store”), tell a beauty advisor (“Beauty Advisor”) you would like to register for the Program and then proceed to complete the registration form.
- You are required to provide your name, mobile phone number, email address, mailing address and birth date in order to enroll. You are solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your account information and for updating it as required. You may update your personal information by contacting info@my.esteelauder.com or by visiting any Store and informing a Beauty Advisor you would like to update your information.
- Only one Program account may be associated with a single member and a single email address. In the event of a dispute over ownership of the Program membership account, the member will be deemed to be the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of enrollment. For purposes of these Program Terms, the "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to the submitted email address by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.
- How the Program Works
- The Program is a way in which we reward and thank our loyal customers for purchasing our products and for participating in certain brand experiences. You are able to earn points by making eligible purchases. You will receive 1 point for every 1 Malaysian Ringgit (RM1) spent on qualifying purchases in the Store or in our chat & shop platform,, and in addition to these purchases, we may offer more ways to earn and/or accelerate your points from time to time. Once you earn a certain number of points, you may be eligible for certain benefits and rewards applicable to that number of points, which benefits may change from time to time and may be offered on a limited basis. Eligible purchases and other opportunities to earn points may be posted on the Brand Site or may be published through other media (e.g., in marketing communications, social media, etc.). Visit our FAQs to learn more about earning points.
- Members receive 1 point for every 1 Malaysian Ringgit (RM1) spent on eligible purchases in Store or in our chat & shop platform, . Eligible purchases include regular priced merchandise and exclude eGift Cards, discounts, shipping and delivery charges, and/or other excluded charges specified by us from time-to-time. For your purchase to qualify for the Program, you must be enrolled in the Program the date of purchase and be signed into or linked your account at the time of purchase. However, if your membership in the Program is terminated for any reason and you enroll in a new Program account, any purchases made prior to the date you enroll in a new Program account do not qualify for points.
- Purchases made in airport stores and retail stores outside of Malaysia are not eligible purchases for the purpose of this Program.
- Points are accumulated during each calendar year, from the date of your first qualifying purchase anytime during the year to 31 December of the same year. At the end of 31 December each year, your accumulated points in the present calendar year shall be saved in record and shall only be used for redemption during reward redemption period (usually held during April next calendar year). On 1 January of the new calendar year, your points reset to zero (0) and you start accumulating new points for the new calendar year, starting from your next qualifying purchase anytime during the new calendar year to 31 December of the new calendar year.
- Product Rewards and Benefits
- As a Member, you earn points that determine your points benefits. Product rewards are redeemed at the Store only. Redemption will be carried out strictly based on your available points accumulated from the previous calendar year and topping up of points with payment to redeem rewards is not allowed.
- Points Benefits: Starting at the designated minimum points, you are eligible to redeem some or all of these points collected during a calendar year for product rewards during reward redemption period (usually held April next calendar year). Reward offerings are subject to availability and must be redeemed at the Store. These rewards (decided at the full and final discretion of Estée Lauder ) are based on the number of points you have accumulated in the previous calendar year. Other specific rewards vary based on availability. You must redeem your available points/rewards prior to the end of reward redemption period, or the available points and rewards will expire. You will not have the flexibility to choose the reward tiers you are entitled to redeem; instead, the Program system will identify the eligibility of your reward tiers (by assigning your available points to the highest tiers first and any balance points which do not fit into the lowest tier shall be forfeited).
- Neither accounts nor Program rewards, benefits and/or points may be transferred, shared or combined. Only the Member paying for the products may accumulate rewards, benefits and/or points. Members will not receive rewards, benefits and/or points on purchases which are reimbursed by corporations or other organizations ineligible to participate in the Program. We reserve the right to monitor the number of accounts per household and refuse, merge or close additional or duplicate accounts at any time. Your account information (including but not limited to security details) is confidential and should not be shared with any other person.
- Rewards, benefits and points earned through the Program have no cash value, are non-transferable, and you have no property rights in or to rewards or other Program benefits. Purchase balances and/or points credited to your Program account will be decreased or reversed, as applicable, if part or all of a purchase is returned or cancelled or if the credit is obtained through fraudulent or other activity that violates these Program Terms. The sale, barter, transfer, or assignment of any rewards benefits, or points offered through the Program, other than by us, is expressly prohibited.
- Rewards cannot be exchanged or returned for points, another product or service or a monetary refund.
- The products and services available through the Program and any samples that we may provide to you are for personal use only. You may not sell or resell any of the products, services, or samples you purchase or otherwise receive from us.

- We are not responsible for rewards, benefits and/or points lost or redeemed due to fraudulent activity by you or any third party.
- We reserve the right to change Program benefits, how you earn points and how we evaluate and reward your eligible purchases and/or other Program activity.

- If you have concerns that a purchase or other activity was not properly applied to your account, you should contact Estée Lauder Customer Service by sending an email to info@my.esteelauder.com. Your email must specify your name, mobile number, and email address associated with the Program, the date of the Program activity, and the issue(s) you encountered.

- You may opt-out of receiving both marketing emails and Program-related emails at any time by following the instructions provided in the email and as otherwise provided in our Brand Site Privacy Policy, but please note that you are not able to choose to opt-out of just marketing emails or just Program-related emails.

If your membership is revoked, any rewards or benefits in your account will automatically expire and your access to the Program and features will automatically terminate. If we suspect illegal activity, fraud, misrepresentation, abuse or violation of these Terms, we also have the right to take appropriate legal action, in our sole discretion.
