For more details about how to earn VIP Points by making qualifying purchases, please visit our Zappos VIP page. Purchases made from 6pm.com or any other websites owned or operated by Zappos.com LLC or its affiliates are not eligible for VIP Points or other Zappos VIP benefits unless otherwise indicated.


Promotional Activities. From time to time, we, or others acting with our permission, may offer you opportunities to earn bonus VIP Points, such as inviting you to engage with Zappos in special promotional events or activities in exchange for VIP Points (”Promotional Activities”). For example, we may offer you points for writing an eligible product review on Zappos.com, or we may offer additional points for certain qualifying purchases.

You can redeem your VIP Points for VIP Codes by logging into your Zappos Account and accessing the My VIP dashboard or by contacting the Zappos Customer VIP Team via email or live chat or by calling 1-866-427-2246. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to send your VIP Codes within 24 hours of your request.


VIP Points accumulated under Zappos VIP and VIP Codes issued when VIP Points are redeemed are promotional in nature and have no cash value. VIP Codes are redeemable for merchandise only and cannot be applied to previous purchases or purchases of gift cards. Your VIP Points, VIP Codes and VIP Membership are personal to you and may not be sold, transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) or assigned to or shared with, family, friends or others, or used by you for any commercial purpose. You are responsible for any federal, state or local taxes applicable to your participation in Zappos VIP.


7.) Expiration of VIP Points and Codes

VIP Points. EACH NOVEMBER (OR AT OTHER TIMES DURING THE VIP YEAR AT OUR DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE), WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT ALL UNREDEEMED VIP POINTS UNDER YOUR VIP MEMBERSHIP INTO ONE or more VIP CODES. IF FOR ANY REASON ZAPPOS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT UNREDEEMED VIP POINTS, THE VIP points WILL EXPIRE ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE THEY ARE EARNED. AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTED VIP POINTS AND any EXPIRED VIP POINTS ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE VIP POINT BALANCE UNDER YOUR VIP MEMBERSHIP.


VIP Codes. VIP Codes expire NINETY (90) DAYS from the date THEY ARE SENT TO YOU. VIP CODES are subject to the additional TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS contained on or included with the VIP code. SOME VIP CODES MAY NOT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER OFFERS OR PROMOTIONS.


8.) Impact of Merchandise Returns on Your VIP Points and VIP Codes

If you return merchandise that you purchased with your VIP Codes in accordance with the Zappos.com Return Policy, you will be refunded the amount you paid (excluding the value of the VIP Codes and any other discounts) to the original method of payment, after we process your return in accordance with our Return Policy. For example, if you placed an order totaling $100 for one item and used a $10 VIP Code, we will refund $90 to your original method of payment. If you purchase multiple items using a single VIP Code, then the value of your VIP Code is applied proportionally to each item, and returns of any one item will result in a refund of the amount you paid for the item, excluding the value of the proportionally applied value of the VIP Code. VIP Codes are for one-time use only. You will not receive a replacement VIP Code for returned merchandise and Zappos will not credit the redeemed VIP Points back to your VIP Membership.


If you cancel a purchase or return your purchase, Zappos will deduct the VIP Points that you were awarded for that purchase from your VIP Membership. If you have already redeemed those VIP Points for a VIP Code, this could potentially result in a negative VIP Point balance under your VIP Membership.


9.) Miscellaneous

Without notice to you, Zappos reserves the right to suspend or terminate your VIP Membership and/or your participation in Zappos VIP (in whole or in part), if Zappos determines in its sole discretion that you have violated these VIP Terms, you have more than one VIP Membership, or that the use of your VIP Membership or your participation in Zappos VIP is unauthorized, abusive, deceptive, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful. Zappos may, in its sole discretion, suspend, cancel or combine VIP Memberships that appear to be duplicative. In the event that your participation in Zappos VIP is terminated, you may not be able to redeem any accumulated VIP Points.

Without notice to you, Zappos also reserves the right to “unregister" a VIP Membership that is inactive and cause that VIP Membership to be ineligible for Zappos VIP benefits. An inactive VIP Membership is defined as a VIP Membership that has not earned VIP Points for one (1) year. In the event that your VIP Membership is unregistered due to inactivity, then you will no longer be eligible for Zappos VIP benefits, including accumulating VIP Points or converting your VIP Points into VIP Codes. You may reactivate your VIP Membership by making a qualifying purchase using your Zappos Account that is associated with your VIP Membership, but any VIP Points earned prior to VIP Membership being deemed inactive will be voided.


If you have any questions or if you are dissatisfied with Zappos VIP in any way, please contact our Zappos Customer VIP Team via email or live chat or by calling 1-866-427-2246.
