3.7 Please note that the benefits given under the Scheme do not affect any additional benefits existing East Coast customers and season ticket holders may be receiving as part of their membership of the previous (now closed) East Coast Rewards Loyalty scheme.

4. Special rules for season ticket holders

4.1 You are able to join the Scheme as a season ticket holder and get Points when purchasing season tickets providing the ticket meets the following qualifying criteria:

     4.1.1 The ticket is purchased in a East CoastTravel Centre. These are currently located at the following stations: London King’s Cross, Stevenage (EC), Peterborough, Grantham, Retford, Newark Northgate, Doncaster, Wakefield Westgate, York, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle, Berwick, Dunbar, Edinburgh;

     4.1.2 the ticket is valid for a month or more; and

     4.1.3 the journey covered by the season ticket is made on qualifying routes and is ‘Route: Any Permitted’ (click here for details of which routes qualify).

     4.1.4 The ticket is a full price adult ticket (excludes Child and Privilege tickets)

4.2 In order to apply for membership of the Scheme on the Website, season tickets holders must also register their details with an East Coast travel centre.  For existing season ticket holders this will require a visit to the East Coast Travel Centre to confirm their details and provide their email address, whereas for new or renewing season ticket holders registration will take place when you purchase/renew your season ticket.

4.3 After registering at the East Coast Travel Centre, if you are not already a member of the Scheme you will need to then visit the Website to apply to join the Scheme. Only then will Points be awarded in line with these Terms and Conditions.

4.4 For new/renewing season ticket Members it is a condition of the Scheme that Members use the same email address when registering at the East Coast Travel Centre as for their Scheme membership. It is the responsibility of the season ticket holder to register their correct email address with the East Coast Travel Centre.
Should a season ticket holder wish to change their email address registered for the Scheme at any time they must do this both on the Website and separately with the East Coast Travel Centre.

5. Earning Points

5.1 Under the Scheme, Members are awarded points (“Points”) for purchases of qualifying tickets and other items (“Products”) made on the Website. Members are not permitted to earn Points from other people’s transactions. 

5.2 Scheme Points for all Products purchased are awarded on a per transaction basis but are calculated separately for each Product within that transaction.

5.3 You will earn Points whenever you spend above £22 (including the amount of any credit card fees, postage and VAT paid on that transaction) on qualifying Products in a single transaction. Where your total transaction spend is £22 or less, you will only earn Points if the specific Products you have bought qualify for Points irrespective of the overall amount paid in the transaction, as specified by ECML from time to time.

5.4 Only Products purchased using the East Coast online booking system at www.eastcoast.co.uk qualify for Points.  This does not include bookings for European travel, theatre breaks, hotels or hotel + rail packages.

5.5 Whenever a member spends above £22 in a transaction, the Member will earn Points on every pound they spend at the Website on qualifying Products in that transaction. Extra Points may also be earned by referring friends to the Scheme. The Points that can be earned are as follows:

Amount spent/Action Taken Points Earned
Spend above £22 on qualifying
ordinary tickets and ancillary items
(for any route or train operating
company)
1 Point per £1 spent
Spend above £22 on qualifying First
Class tickets
1.5 Points per £1 spent
First Class Season Tickets 1 Point per £1 spent on season ticket. Based on
- Points awarded on a monthly basis (on or around the 1st of each month for travel the previous month)
- Points awarded will be based on the number of days that the ticket was valid during that month 

So, for example, if a First Class Season Ticket cost £500 and the ticket was of total validity of 3 months and 10 days (say, 102 days in total) and was valid for 8 days during the previous month (say, 24th to 31st inclusive), the calculation will be:

((Validity previous month in days / total validity in days) x total cost of the Season Ticket) x 1 (for First Class)

Which would be:

((8 / 102) x 500) x 1 = 38 Points awarded that month
Standard Season Ticket 0.5 Points per £1 spent on Season Ticket. Based on
- Points awarded will be based on the number of days that the ticket was valid during that month

So, for example, if a Standard Season Ticket cost £500 and the ticket was of total validity of 3 months and 10 days (say, 102 days in total) and was valid for 8 days during the previous month (say, 24th to 31st inclusive), the calculation will be:

((Validity previous month in days / total validity in days) x total cost of the Season Ticket) x 0.5 awarded on a monthly basis (on or around the 1st of each month for travel the previous month)
- Points (for First Class)

Which would be:

((8 / 102) x 500) x 0.5 = 19 Points awarded that month
Refer a Friend —
Members can earn extra Points for referring a friend to the Scheme. The referred friend must not already be a Member of the Scheme and they must meet the eligibility criteria.
Members will be credited with 40 Points in their Scheme account once the referred friend has registered for the Scheme and placed an order on the Website over £5 in total transaction value


5.6 It is your responsibility to ensure that, when referring a friend, your friend is happy to receive communications from us (by post or by email) about them joining the Scheme.

5.7 Points earned are valid for two years from the day on which they are credited to your account or until the scheme closes.

5.8 Each Member will have access to their own account page on the Scheme area of the Website where the number of Points you have accrued will be shown. Members will be able to see the following information up-to-date as at the previous working day:

     5.8.1 Current Points — this is the number of Points earned by you that are currently available to be redeemed by the Member;

     5.8.2 Points due to expire – this is the number of Points that are available to be redeemed but that are due to expire within the next 30 days if they are not used before that time;

     5.8.3 Spent Points — this is the number of Points that have been redeemed by you already.

5.9 Due to the nature of the train industry, for certain Products there can be a time delay between the purchase of the Product and the Points total being updated on your account.  Where this applies, the relevant Points will not be available for redemption by you immediately. They will instead be credited to your account once the applicable refund period for every Product in the transaction has elapsed (“Refund Period”). The length of the delay will be determined based on the following rules:

     5.9.1 The Products with the longest Refund Period are flexible tickets (e.g. Anytime Tickets or off peak tickets). By way of example, if you have purchased an Anytime Ticket (3 months in advance of outward travel date) together with some advanced tickets and a catering voucher, it is possible that there could be up to a 5-month delay between the transaction date and you receiving the Points for that transaction because the Anytime Ticket has the longest Refund Period of all of the Products in your transaction;

     5.9.2 If the ticket purchased is not an Advance Ticket, Points will be credited two months and one day after the “valid from” date of the outward journey;

     5.9.3 Where only Advance Tickets are purchased in a transaction, the Points for that transaction will be credited to your account within 24 hours.

5.10 At any time East Coast may introduce Points on promotional items and may set limits on the number of times Points may be awarded for promotional items. Individual promotions to which Points apply will be communicated by East Coast from time to time. In the event of any participation in promotional offers beyond what is reasonably considered by East Coast to be normal consumer behaviour or personal use, East Coast reserves the right to refuse to award Points to individual Members.

5.11 Any tax liability or tax disclosure obligations connected with your receipt or use of Scheme Points or Rewards are the responsibility of the Member, not East Coast.

5.12 Where you have earned Points on any Product which is subsequently refunded in accordance with the terms and conditions for that Product, the Points you would have earned on that Product will be deducted from your account at the time of the refund being given.

5.13 Members may apply to East Coast to inherit the Points or Rewards of a family member who was a Member of the Scheme who has died by the deceased’s executor providing a written request informing us of the membership details of the deceased.

5.14 East Coast reserves the right to change the conversion value of Points, the number of Points available to be earned on particular Products, or the Rewards that can be claimed at its discretion from time to time. East Coast will give reasonable prior notice on the Website of any such change.

6. Redeeming Points for Rewards
