2.1. Through the «BG Club» loyalty program, members can collect loyalty points while making purchases (according to the scale of equivalence in value in force at the time of such purchases) either on the following websites: bongenie-grieder.ch et outlet.bongenie-grieder.ch, or in one of Brunschwig Group’s brick-and-mortar stores (Bongénie Grieder, MaxMara, Buzzano and Hofstetter Sports),.

2.2. Whenever the total amount of collected points levels up to the stage set in the BG Club loyalty program for conversion into Swiss Francs, a «BG Club» voucher is registered to the credit of the concerned «BG Club» member. Such vouchers can be used for upcoming purchases, either in our brick-and-mortar stores or for one of our sites. Such vouchers are valid for use during one year from the issue date.
All collected BG Club points are registered on the page “my BG vouchers” of each concerned «BG Club» member’s account.
Loyalty points are always validated after 30 days from the corresponding purchase date – considering that some sales may be cancelled, and the purchase returned in the meantime. Loyalty points considered for issuing each «BG Club» voucher are those corresponding to purchases operated during the current calendar year (from January 1st until and including December 31st). At the end of each calendar year, all remaining loyalty points expire should they not - through the purchase amount reached until December 31st - level up to the stage at which a “BG voucher” could be issued.

2.3. The «BG Club» loyalty program consists of four progressive grades from Bronze, to Silver, to Gold, up to Diamond, each corresponding to a status which entails benefits of its own, as described on the site www.bg-club.ch. The purchase amount reached by each «BG Club» member determines his/her status within this scale. Moving from one grade to another occurs after 30 days from the last purchase triggering this status change. A «BG Club» member keeps the latest status he was moved into until January 31st of the following year, and hereafter for another further year, at the end of which his/her status will be readjusted according to his/her purchase amount occurred during the last calendar year.

2.4. In order to join the «BG Club» loyalty program, customers must create their «BG Club» account and accept its General Terms and Conditions, whether online on either one of the following websites (www.bg-club.ch, or www.bongenie-grieder.ch, or outlet.bongenie-grieder.ch) or in-store with the assistance of one of our cashier-staff members.
As to collecting «BG Club» points corresponding to their purchases, customers must then, either be connected to their «BG Club» member account while purchasing online or identify themselves with our cashier-staff as «BG Club» members when purchasing in-store.
