Questions about accumulating purchases


What happens if I have not accumulated the defined amount of annual purchases?


Silver status: You can continue to enjoy all the advantages of the Silver member status except for the following:


• Voucher for 3% of the previous year’s purchases


Prior Platinum status: You receive Silver status and therefore the advantages of this status in future.


Do the purchases made in the THOMAS SABO outlet shops also count towards my purchases?


Yes, purchases in one of our THOMAS SABO outlet shops are also credited to your total purchases in the normal way by specifying your customer data and are thus also included in the evaluation of your total purchases.


Do orders as a guest also count towards my membership?


Please note that guest accounts and associated purchases are not eligible for the Privilege Club. Guest orders that have already been placed cannot be transferred to a registered member account and therefore do not qualify for the cashback calculation.

 

Do my SABOTEUR purchases also count towards my membership?

The benefits of the THOMAS SABO Privilege Club are exclusive to our THOMAS SABO customers and cannot be transferred to SABOTEUR.

Purchases made at SABOTEUR therefore have no effect on the cashback calculation of the THOMAS SABO Privilege Club.


Questions about membership


Does membership entail any costs for me?


The THOMAS SABO Privilege Club is completely free of charge for you as our valued customer. Depending on your club status, you can therefore enjoy all the benefits of the club on the basis of our club conditions without any additional fees.
