How to Use Your Selkie Points

If you're a devotee of Selkie, you may remember that they started awarding points with every purchase about a year ago.  I love getting a little something back on sites where I'm a regular and when it comes to Selkie, I make a purchase at least every 3 months and sometimes more often as the new collections release.  So, I've been collecting my rewards points on each purchase, and I get the occasional email when I have earned more points that notifies me of my current total.  What I haven't seen is an option to spend those points on a purchase.  

Searching on Selkie's site, including the FAQs didn't yield any results on how to actually use them.  If you're in the same boat, then wonder no more.  Thanks to advice from fellow Selks, I have compiled a step-by-step instructional for you so you can use all those points you've been collecting.

Step 1.  Login to your account.  You can't use your points if you aren't signed in.

Step 2.  Shop as usual.  This is the fun part where you pick out the things you like, add them to your cart and then prepare yourself for the not so fun part of seeing how much your dreamy dresses are going to cost you by hitting the "Checkout" button.

Step 3.  From the checkout screen you will click on the little bag with a heart next to it that's been floating in the bottom right hand corner this whole time but you probably didn't notice it.  This will tell you how many points you have earned and it will take you to a screen that will ask you if you want to redeem them for a dollar value.  If you choose to redeem them, you will get a coupon code which you will enter into the promo code section during checkout.  Be advised you can likely not stack promo codes, so make sure you can't get a better deal with a promo code before you use your points.

That's it.  So simple, and yet, it took me forever to figure out how it works.  This may come as a surprise to you, and it certainly did to me, but so far I have not yet earned enough points to make it worth it to spend them over just using a promo code for 10% off a regular purchase.  So, I'll just keep saving them up for a while yet.  After all, the spring launch is just around the corner. 

I hope this has clarified things for you and with that spring launch coming up that you either get to use or get to save up some more points for future use.  Happy Shopping!
