PAIZO PLUS LOYALTY PROGRAM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(Updated and effective as of November 17, 2025)

 1.      GENERALLY: 

The Paizo Plus Loyalty Program (“Loyalty Program”) is a customer loyalty program offered and sponsored by Paizo Inc. (“Paizo”) that allows qualifying participants (“Members”) to obtain Gold (as defined below) for making qualifying purchases and participating in various activities and offers set forth by Paizo from time to time, and allows Members to obtain special Rewards (as defined below) and other benefits offered under the Loyalty Program. The purpose of the Loyalty Program is to reward and thank Paizo customers. NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE LOYALTY PROGRAM OR PARTICIPATE IN THE LOYALTY PROGRAM AT THE EXPERT MEMBERSHIP TIER. AND YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE LOYALTY PROGRAM IN ORDER TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS FROM PAIZO. The Loyalty Program is offered solely to natural persons who are eighteen (18) years of age or older and meet all of the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3 below. Participation in the Loyalty Program is limited to Members of the Loyalty Program.

The Loyalty Program is offered and effective as of the “updated and effective” date above (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until such time as it is terminated by Paizo (the “Program Term”). The Loyalty Program is offered solely at the discretion of Paizo and Paizo may modify, amend, change, suspend or terminate the Loyalty Program at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, without any liability. That includes, but is not limited to, the right to (a) discontinue or alter membership tiers or structure, (b) change the expiration date or redemption value of Gold or Rewards, (c) merge the Loyalty Program with another rewards program, or (d) adjust how Gold or Rewards are obtained, calculated or redeemed.

2.       GOVERNING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

The Loyalty Program is governed by these terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”), the terms of use for paizo.com (the “Rewards Website”) found at paizo.com/paizo/termsofuse (“Terms of Use”), and Paizo’s privacy policy found at paizo.com/paizo/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”). As of the Effective Date these Terms and Conditions supersede any prior version of the Terms and Conditions in effect for the Loyalty Program, if any. BY BECOMING A MEMBER OF THE LOYALTY PROGRAM OR PARTICIPATING IN THE LOYALTY PROGRAM, EACH MEMBER OR PARTICIPANT AGREES TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND ANY UPDATES OR REVISIONS THERETO, AS THEY BECOME EFFECTIVE, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE OF SUCH UPDATES OR REVISIONS.

3.       MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY: 

To be eligible for membership in the Loyalty Program, you must: (a) be a natural person, (b) who is not already enrolled in the Loyalty program, (c) of eighteen (18) years of age or older, and (d) who will not use the Loyalty Program to violate applicable laws. Membership is only open to persons who meet all of the above criteria. The Loyalty Program is void where prohibited.

4.       HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER:

If you meet all of the membership eligibility criteria in Section 3, then you may become a Member by visiting the Rewards Website and creating a Paizo account (“Account”) by providing all required information pursuant to the Terms of Use. All information you provide must be complete and accurate. To join the Loyalty Program, you must maintain a valid email address. It is your responsibility to keep us updated if your email address changes. You can update your email address or other Account information by logging in through the Rewards Website and changing your account preferences or emailing our customer service team at customer.service@paizo.com. All information submitted at the Rewards Website is subject to, and will be treated in a manner consistent with, the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If Paizo determines, in its sole discretion, that the information is incorrect or incomplete, or that you are ineligible for membership, then Paizo may refuse to grant membership, or may terminate or suspend your Account.

There is a limit of one membership per Account and a limit of one Account per person and per email address. Any attempt to obtain (or any collaboration with or assistance of others in an attempt to obtain) more than one membership per person and per email address, whether by using multiple names or multiple email addresses, or via any other means, will result in disqualification from membership and participation in the Loyalty Program, and/or suspension or termination of any related Account(s). No membership and no Account is valid or in effect until such time as Paizo has received all information required during the Account registration process on the Rewards Website and confirmed account activation to the potential Member.

If you wish to terminate your Membership, please email our customer service team at customer.service@paizo.com. Once your membership and Account is terminated, it cannot be reinstated, and all Gold in the Account will become void, of no value, and ineligible for redemption of any kind. Once your account is terminated, you will not be able to redeem any unused Gold or Rewards, retrieve previously-awarded Gold, Rewards, or Membership Tier status, request order history associated with the terminated Account, or obtain Gold for any future purchases or Rewards Activities taken while not a member of the Loyalty Program, even if you re-join in the future. Any new account you open with the Loyalty Program will start anew.

5.       MEMBERSHIP TIERS:

Paizo may establish different tiers of membership (“Membership Tiers” or “Tiers”) at its discretion. Each Membership Tier may be entitled to obtain Gold or Rewards, receive offers or promotions, or otherwise be subject to different terms from those available to other Tiers. Initial Membership Tier admission is based on money spent by a Member on their Account (“Member Spend”) during the 12-month period prior to creation of their Account or the Effective Date, whichever is later. The exact date your Membership Tier becomes effective is determined by Paizo. The 12-month period following the effective date of your Membership Tier is known as your “Tier Period,” and Member Spend during this time determines whether you drop, stay put, or advance in Membership Tiers.

The current Membership Tiers are as follows:

  • Expert Tier: Accounts that have spent less than $250 USD during the Tier Period.
  • Master Tier: Accounts that have spent at least $250 USD but less than $750 USD during the Tier Period.
  • Legendary Tier: Accounts that have spent $750 USD or more during the Tier Period.

Once you achieve a new Membership Tier status, you will be notified of your new status and enter a new 12-month Tier Period. You will not drop from that Membership Tier during that Tier Period. But if your Member Spend during the Tier Period is no longer sufficient to maintain membership in that Membership Tier, you will be dropped to the appropriate lower Membership Tier at the conclusion of that Tier period.

  • Ex: You have been in the Master Tier for 12 months and spent only $150. The Tier Period ends after those 12 months, and you are assigned to the lower Expert Tier because your Member Spend during your Tier Period was only $150 rather than the $250-$750 required to qualify for the Master Tier. You will be notified that you are dropping down to the Expert Tier and will enter a new 12-month Tier Period.

However, if you maintain your Member Spend within the required parameters of your Membership Tier during the Tier Period, then you will remain in that same Tier for the following Tier Period.

  • Ex: You have been in the Master Tier for 12 months and spent $500. The Tier Period ends after those 12 months, and you remain in the Master Tier because your Member Spend was within the $250-750 range required for the Master Tier. You will be notified that you are re-qualifying for the Master Tier and will enter a new 12-month Tier Period.

On the other hand, if your Member Spend meets or exceeds the threshold for a higher Membership Tier at any time, you will be immediately placed into that higher Membership Tier (as soon as all qualifying purchases and Member Spend information is fully processed) and immediately afterward enter a new 12-month Tier Period.

  • Ex: You have been in the Master Tier for just 3 months and have already spent $750. Once your qualifying purchases are fully processed, and without waiting for the end of your current Tier Period, you are immediately assigned to the higher Legendary Tier because your Member Spend met or exceeded the $750 threshold required to qualify for the Legendary Tier. You will be notified that you are advancing to the Legendary Tier and will enter a new 12-month Tier Period.

The total accumulated amount spent over the lifetime of your account does not affect the Tier to which you are assigned. It is based on Member Spend during the 12-month Tier Period that begins running after the effective date of your current Membership Tier as described above. Likewise, each time you move to a new Tier, the 12-month period starts anew. Any remaining time on previous Tier Periods does not carry over, extend, shorten, or otherwise affect any other Tier Period.

Membership Tier admission requirements are at the sole discretion of Paizo, and Paizo may modify, amend, change, suspend or terminate any or all Membership Tiers at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. There are no refunds for Membership, even if the benefits are not utilized.

6.       HOW TO OBTAIN GOLD:

Membership in the Loyalty Program allows Members to obtain membership rewards points (“Gold”) in the manner described herein. Gold may be earned subject to specific offers and promotions made by Paizo (“Offers”) and may be redeemed by the Member as described herein. Members may obtain Gold in any manner specified by Paizo in an Offer on the Rewards Website or on any other website maintained by Paizo or its affiliated companies, in social media or other media published by Paizo or its affiliated companies, and on or in packages, toys, books, and other products sold by Paizo or its affiliated companies. Ways to obtain Gold are specified by Paizo in each Offer, which Offer may be subject to time limitations or other restrictions, and Offers may include, but are not limited to, making purchases of qualifying Participating Products (as defined below) or participation in Rewards Program activities, referrals, product reviews, social media posts, or the use of in-box redemption codes (the “Rewards Activities”). The amount of Gold obtained for a purchase or Rewards Activity may vary by the Membership Tier applicable to the Member.

Currently, Members will obtain 25 Gold in connection with their initial sign up to the Loyalty Program and will accrue Gold in accordance with their Tier in the following manner:.

ExpertMasterLegendary
1 gold per dollar spent on purchases of Participating Products.1.25 gold per dollar spent on purchases of Participating Products.1.5 gold per dollar spent on purchases of Participating Products.
+5 gold per approved product review of Participating Products on paizo.com*+5 gold per approved product review of Participating Products on paizo.com*+5 gold per approved product review of Participating Products on paizo.com*


15% discount on all purchases of Participating Products.


Legendary Loot exclusives.

* Verified purchases only. Maximum of 5 gold per week per Account.

The ways to obtain Gold and the amount awarded for each Rewards Activity or purchase are subject to availability and subject to change, in Paizo’s sole discretion, with or without notice.

Participating Products” are defined as genuine Paizo products which are the subject of a special Offer or promotion by Paizo or one of its affiliated companies, subject to the limitations and restrictions of such Offer or promotion, but only for the duration of such Offer or promotion. Not all Participating Products may be available in all areas. Offers and promotions regarding Participating Products are subject to change at the sole discretion of Paizo or its affiliated companies, at any time, with or without notice.

To obtain Gold by purchasing Participating Products on the Rewards Website, sign in to your Account on the Rewards Website and follow the online instructions. To earn Gold for the purchase of a Participating Product, you must be logged into your Account prior to purchasing a Participating Product. It is your responsibility to confirm that you are signed in to your Account before making any qualifying purchase. Gold cannot be earned retroactively for prior purchases that have already been shipped or purchased without being signed into your Account.

To obtain Gold, the purchase must meet all requirements and limitations of the Offer. No Gold may be obtained for the portions of any purchase which includes discount codes, tax, shipping, and other fees. Gold earned for pre-orders will be pending until your order ships. Please allow up to ten (10) business days after a qualifying purchase has shipped for your Loyalty Program account to update to reflect the Gold you obtained from the purchase. You can monitor your Gold total and see your tier status in your Paizo Plus dashboard. If you cancel, return, or dispute an order for a refund, your accumulated Gold will be reduced in proportion to the Gold originally earned for that purchase. In the case of a multi-item purchase which results in a partial return, the accumulated Gold in your account will be reduced in proportion to the Gold originally earned for the returned item(s). If the item is exchanged or store credit given because of damage, the Gold earned will remain.  

To obtain Gold by participating in a Rewards Activity, you must meet all requirements and limitations of the associated Offer. Specific Offers for earning Gold through a Rewards Activity may have detailed instructions given by Paizo or an approved Paizo-affiliated company, may require you to engage in certain actions while logged into your Account, may only apply to certain Members or during certain times, or may have other terms, conditions, or limitations that can vary per Offer. It is your responsibility to follow all instructions contained in an Offer in order to qualify for obtaining Gold. Any actions taken by a Member on third-party social media websites or applications must comply with the applicable Terms of Use for that website or application.

7.       GOLD EXPIRATION, TERMINATION AND FORFEITURE:

Unless otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions hereafter, or in the terms and conditions of a future rewards program conducted by Paizo, or as otherwise provided by Paizo hereafter in writing, any or all Gold accumulated within this Rewards Program is, in Paizo’s sole discretion, subject to expiration, termination, and/or forfeiture in the following instances, and will be void, of no value, and ineligible for redemption of any kind:

  • Upon termination of the Member’s Account by the Member or by Paizo for any reason;
  • When Paizo determines, in its sole discretion, that Gold was improperly credited, obtained fraudulently, or otherwise is in violation of these Terms and Conditions;
  • When Paizo determines, in its sole discretion, that the Member or Member’s Account has (i) violated these Terms and Conditions, the Terms of Use, or any other applicable Paizo policies, (ii) that the Member, whether acting alone or in concert with others, has violated or encouraged others to violate these Terms and Conditions or has otherwise attempted to commit fraud or undermine the Rewards Program, or (iii) that the Member or Member’s account has violated any applicable laws or regulations;
  • Upon the expiration or termination of this Rewards Program; or
  • Upon expiration of the Gold after one year of non-use.

8.       GOLD RESTRICTIONS:

Gold cannot be combined with any other points, credits, or other offers or promotions outside of the Rewards Program, and cannot be combined with the Gold of any other Member. Each Member is solely responsible for ensuring that their Gold is properly credited. Gold does not constitute property, does not entitle Members to a vested right or interest, and has no cash value. As such, Gold is not redeemable for cash and is not saleable, transferable, or assignable for any reason. Gold obtained may not be sold, traded, bartered, auctioned, donated, given away, or offered or awarded as a prize for any reason by a Member or any other person or entity other than Paizo or one of its affiliated companies. Paizo’s internal records regarding total Gold will be the official determination of a Member’s Gold total at any given time.  

9.       HOW TO REDEEM GOLD FOR REWARDS:

As part of the Rewards Program, Members may redeem their Gold on the Rewards Website for various products, discounts, and other items offered as rewards on the Rewards Website, or may choose to redeem Gold in order to participate in certain promotions and special offers where redemption of Gold is offered as a means of participating (collectively, “Rewards”), provided that they have enough Gold to redeem for a particular Reward. The Rewards Website will describe the amount of Gold (or a combination of Gold and cash) required to redeem each Reward. The Gold required for redemption of each Reward is subject to change at any time in Paizo’s sole discretion. You cannot redeem Gold for a Reward unless you have accumulated the required corresponding amount of Gold in your Account. 

To redeem Gold for a Reward, you must be signed into your Account at the time of redemption.  In some instances, Gold can be redeemed at checkout for a specific coupon code as the Reward you have selected, such as in the form of a discount on your purchase, free or discounted shipping, or additional product. Once you get to the checkout screen, you will see your total available Gold. To use your Gold, select the eligible Reward you want and follow the online instructions to complete your request for the Reward. Please note that if you do not have enough Gold for the Reward, you will not be able to redeem it. The shopping cart feature is designed to automatically deduct the value of any Rewards coupon from the order. Gold is not considered redeemed until the order is successfully processed. Once your order has been processed, the required amount of Gold for the selected Reward will be deducted from your Account. Rewards cannot be redeemed or added to an order retroactively.

If not used, Gold expires 365 days after being obtained, and the Gold with the earliest expiry is prioritized for Rewards redemption. All Gold must be redeemed within twelve (12) months, by the expiration or earlier termination of this Rewards Program, or by the termination of your Account, whichever occurs first.  See Section 7 (Gold Expiration, Termination, and Forfeiture) for instances in which Gold may be subject to expiration, termination, or forfeiture. Once Gold has expired, been terminated, or has been forfeited, it is void, of no value, and ineligible for redemption of any kind.

Unlike standard promotional items that are available to all Members, Legendary Loot Exclusive Rewards (“Exclusives”) are available only to Legendary Tier Members. Exclusives are limited in quantity and only available while supplies last. Paizo does not guarantee the availability of any Rewards or Exclusives for any period of time. Exclusives will be redeemed on a “first come, first served” basis based on when each order for an Exclusive on the Rewards Website is received and recorded by Paizo. Once an Exclusive is no longer available, that Exclusive will no longer be offered, unless otherwise determined by Paizo in its sole discretion. Exclusives are additionally subject to the same terms and conditions as all other Rewards.

A product, including Exclusives, redeemed by Gold cannot be replaced, returned, or refunded. Coupon codes and Rewards are intended for the sole use of the Member and cannot be transferred to another party. All Rewards available on the Website are subject to change or removal without notice. Rewards may be available in limited numbers and are only available while supplies last. Paizo does not guarantee the availability of any Reward for any period of time. Rewards will be redeemed on a "first come, first served" basis based on when each order for a Reward on the Rewards Website is received and recorded by Paizo. Once any Reward is no longer available, that Reward will no longer be offered, unless otherwise determined by Paizo in its sole discretion. No exchanges, returns, or refunds on a Reward are permitted for any reason. Paizo may, at any time and in its sole discretion, add new Rewards for redemption or remove Rewards. If any Reward becomes unavailable, Paizo reserves the right to substitute an item of equal or greater value in its sole discretion. Rewards are offered “as is” with no warranty or guarantee either expressed or implied by Paizo. Rewards may be subject to the manufacturer’s standard written warranty. Taxes and duties on any Rewards redeemed, if any, are solely the responsibility of the Member receiving the Reward.

The manner of shipping and delivery of Rewards is at the sole discretion of Paizo. All Rewards will ship to the address associated with your Account. No shipping is allowed to other addresses or to P.O. boxes. Paizo reserves the right to require you to complete, sign, and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability and publicity release in order for you to claim a Reward.  In the event of non-compliance, Paizo may, in its sole discretion, deem you ineligible to receive the Reward. No responsibility is assumed by Paizo for any Reward after it has been shipped or in the event it is returned as undeliverable without a forwarding address.

10.     MEMBER COMMUNICATION & PRIVACY POLICY:

By becoming a Member of the Rewards Program, you agree to receive email communications about the Rewards Program, as well as product marketing material from Paizo. Members may unsubscribe or change newsletter communication preferences at any time via the link in a Paizo email.
