The Watsons Club is Watsons' loyalty program designed to reward its customers with exclusive benefits and promotions. It's a key part of Watsons' strategy to provide value and incentivize repeat purchases for health and beauty products.

Here's a breakdown of what the Watsons Club entails, particularly in the Philippines:

Key Features and Benefits:

• Lifetime Membership: Once you join, your membership is generally for life, meaning you don't have to renew it annually.

• Exclusive Discounts and Offers: Members gain access to special prices and promotions on various products that are not available to non-members. This can include:

  • Member-only deals: Discounts on hundreds of products each month.

  • "Comply & Save" program: Often provides discounts (e.g., 30% off for 30 pieces, or 15% off for 15 pieces) on vitamins, supplements, and even some maintenance medications.

  • Birthday perks: Members may receive special offers or bonus points during their birthday month (e.g., 5x bonus points on their first purchase during that month).

  • Watsons Brand product discounts: Often 10% off Watsons' own label products.

• Earn Points:

  • You earn points for every purchase. In the Philippines, it's typically 1 point for every PHP 200 spent.

  • Bonus points can be earned from specific promotions (e.g., 2x bonus points on Watsons Label products).

  • Points are usually reflected in your account within a day for in-store purchases and up to 15 days for online purchases.

• Redeem Points:

  • Each point is generally equivalent to PHP 1.00.

  • You can use your earned points to pay for purchases both in-store and online.

  • There's usually a minimum redemption threshold (e.g., a minimum of 20 points).

• E-Watsons Card (Digital Card): You don't need a physical card. Through the Watsons mobile app, you have a virtual member card with a QR code that you can present to earn and redeem points.

• Online Benefits: Members often enjoy additional perks when shopping online, such as:

  • Shipping fee discounts (e.g., capped at PHP 50 for a minimum purchase of PHP 1,000).

  • Exclusive online-only vouchers and promotions.

• Perks from Brand and Merchant Partners: Watsons Club members may also receive discounts and special offers from various partner merchants in categories like wellness, food, travel, and leisure.

• Exclusive Contests and Raffles: Members often get access to exclusive contests and e-raffle promotions with attractive prizes.

Watsons Club Elite (Tiered Membership):

For high-spending members, Watsons also has a Watsons Club Elite status. This is an upgraded membership tier that offers even more benefits. To become an Elite member, you typically need an accumulated annual spend of a certain amount (e.g., PHP 35,000) within a calendar year. Elite benefits can include:

• Free delivery for online orders (often without a minimum purchase requirement).

• Even higher discounts and exclusive offers.
