The Ultimate Guide to EB World loyalty program

Australia’s largest video games retailer, EB Games, offers a broad loyalty program that extends to its merchandise-only arm, ZiNG Pop Culture. The EB World program caters to gaming enthusiasts and pop culture fans alike with benefits for purchasing new and pre-owned games and consoles, trade-in credit, pre-order notifications and more.

We dive into the perks of the EB World loyalty program and how you can get the most out of it when shopping at EB Games or ZiNG Pop Culture.

How does EB World work?

The EB World loyalty program operates on a tiered system, determined by your purchase activity. Members are rewarded with exclusive offers and perks, which only become greater as you work towards the program’s alluring top tier, Level V.

What are the benefits of EB World membership?

Members receive a range of benefits across EB Games and ZiNG Pop Culture stores, and you’ll receive greater perks as you progress through the levels. As a guide, here’s what to expect from EB Games’ loyalty program:

• Anniversary reward.
• Birthday reward.
• Bonus trade-in credit.
• Gift guarantee time period for returns.
• Game guarantee time period for returns.
• Early pre-order notifications.
• Early sales notifications.

What are the levels of EB World?

There are five levels of the EB World loyalty program:

• Level I – the program’s entry-level tier.
• Level II – members who earn between 1,200 to 4,499 Carrots.
• Level III – members who earn between 4,500 to 9,499 Carrots.
• Level IV – members who earn at least 9,500 Carrots.
• Level V – members that are in the top 9,999 of Carrot earners during the program’s membership year.

All of the tiers except Level V don’t require you to collect a certain amount of carrots within a time period to maintain or upgrade a level. You’ll progress through the tiers as long as you continue to make purchases at EB Games or ZiNG Pop Culture.

What are carrots?

Carrots is the points currency of EB World. When you make a purchase online or in-store or trade-in your old games, you’ll receive carrots credited to your account. There are even opportunities for members to pocket bonus carrots thanks to promotions and offers throughout the year.

As highlighted above, carrots determine your level in the EB World program.

There are a few ways to earn carrots to unlock higher tiers and rewards in the EB World program.

• Online and in-store purchases at EB Games, including brand new and pre-owned products.

• Trading in pre-owned products at EB Games.
• Pre-ordering products from EB Games or ZiNG Pop Culture.
