STARSOCIAL MEMBERSHIP - BENEFITS
EARNING STARPOINTS
15. StarPoints may be earned every time a Member makes a qualifying purchase at a Participating Establishment. StarPoints cannot be earned on the following:
a. purchases made via the redemption of StarPoints;
b. purchases made via “EFTPOS cash-out” transactions;
c. deposit payments;
d. indirect purchases (UberEATS, Red Balloon, ticketing platforms);
e. purchases made via utilising the credit on Star gift cards; and
f. selected specials or promotions as communicated by Star from time to time.
16. To accumulate StarPoints, the following must be presented at a Participating Establishment prior to making payment for a qualifying purchase:
a. A Member’s mobile phone number;
b. unique In-App identifier number; or
c. unique In-App QR code.
17. Any StarPoints earned will be added to that Member’s account within 48 hours from the point of payment at the Participating Establishment. If payment is made pursuant to receipt of an invoice, StarPoints will be added your account within 30 days from the point of payment. Star does not permit the use of a Member’s StarSocial account for use with any other person’s payment.
18. StarSocial Members earn 1 StarPoint for every NZ$10.00 spent in any one transaction. StarPoints can be earned on qualifying purchases up to a total spend of NZ$10,000.00 in (i) any one day; or (ii) a single booking. For illustration purposes, a booking was made for an event or function, and the total cost was $15,000. If for any reason, the full payment for this booking was made over several days, the maximum number of StarPoints that may be earned for this booking is 1000 StarPoints.
19. In addition, StarSocial Members of the StarPartner Tier receive an additional 10% discount on the full price of Tap Beer, Wine, Cocktails & Soft Drinks, Burgers, Pizzas & Fish and Chips at Participating Establishments, subjected to the following limitation: up to a maximum of 4 drinks and 2 food items per 24-hour period. The additional 10% discount in this clause cannot be used at the event: Wellington on a Plate.
20. The discounts and/or benefits offered under the StarPartner Tier shall not be used in conjunction with other discounts offered at a Participating Establishment. In such cases, and as much as possible, the more favourable discount shall apply.
21. To illustrate: a StarSocial Member of the StarPartner Tier level visits a Participating Establishment that is running a promotional offer, for example: 2 pizzas for $40. This StarSocial Member will enjoy the promotional offer being run by the Participating Establishment instead of receiving an additional 10% discount stated in sub-clause (a) above i.e. the StarSocial Member will pay $40 and not $36, as the saving in the promotional offer is greater.
22. For avoidance of doubt, and as mentioned in clause 20 above, this is not a guarantee and is always subject to Star’s ability to amend the terms at any time without prior notice to you, and all decisions by Star shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion, and are final
23. A record of all StarPoints earned will be kept in the Member’s account maintained on the StarSocial system.
24. Any alleged inconsistencies in a Member’s account should be reported to Star. In the case of any dispute, the decision of Star is final and binding.
REDEMPTION OF STARPOINTS
25. StarPoints may be redeemed for certain discounts and reward items. Redemption of StarPoints can only take place after registration has been completed online at www.stargroup.nz/starsocial-register. Any amount paid using the redemption of StarPoints will not enable you to earn StarPoints on that amount.
26. Each StarPoint entitles the Member to redeem a NZ$1.00 discount, which may be used to offset the cost of your next qualifying purchase. For example, a Member who has 100 StarPoints is able to redeem all of them by deducting up to NZ$100.00 from their next qualifying purchase. You must inform the staff at the Participating Establishment of your intention to use StarPoints to pay/part-pay for a qualifying purchase prior to completing payment.
27. You may be able to use StarPoints to redeem listed reward items on the Application. The required number of StarPoints for each reward item will be displayed on the Application. The reward items on offer may change at any time and are subject to availability at the Participating Establishments.
28. The StarPoints and reward items regardless of their condition, quality, merchantability or fitness for use, are not exchangeable for cash or credit unless specifically stated otherwise.
29. The number of StarPoints redeemed will be deducted from the Member’s StarPoints balance. The oldest StarPoints will be deducted first.
30. More details on the StarPartner Tier and corresponding offers may be found in the StarSocial Application. Star may amend the terms and conditions for the StarPartner Tier.
STARPOINTS EXPIRY, DEDUCTIONS AND TERMINATION
31. StarPoints, for the purposes of redemption, will automatically expire and become void 183 days after the date on which they were accumulated. Accordingly, they will be deducted from the Member’s account balance at that time.
32. If StarPoints are added to a Member’s account in error or fraudulently, Star may deduct those StarPoints. If StarPoints were earned on a transaction that was later cancelled, refunded or voided, Star may deduct the StarPoints associated with that transaction.
33. If either you or we cancel or terminate your StarSocial Membership, any unused StarPoints become void. All decisions by Star are final.
34. We may discontinue or suspend StarSocial at any time. If StarSocial is discontinued, you will have three (3) months in which to redeem any unused StarPoints.

35. Your organisation’s existing unique code will cease to have effect at 23:59 on 31 March of every calendar year. A new unique code will be generated one month prior to 31 March and communicated to you. This new code shall have effect from 1 April until 31 March of the subsequent calendar year. In the event that your employment with your organisation terminates, you will lose access to the benefits attached to the StarPartner tier. However, you will retain all StarPoints earned, and your Membership tier level will be determined accordingly.
