Coink codes are new to the market, in the future we expect our codes to be published on a wide range of products and be readily available.

Each Coinks® product code is unique. These product codes are a combination of numbers and letters and one code is printed on each product. To earn points simply enter the code in the enter codes section of the site. The points will then be added ito your account.

If your code is not recognized please contact us, using the form in the contact section, giving us the details about the code that is being rejected.

If your code has been entered by another person you will be given instructions on how you may resolve this, including an address where you can send the code as proof of purchase.

When you are in the Your Account page you can also edit your personal details.

Each code is unique, please keep your codes in a safe place. In taking up some rewards, and in converting points to cash you may be asked to send us one or more codes as proof of purchase.

We take the security of our codes seriously, so please do not distribute codes to others. Codes are non-transferable and it may jeopardize your account.

It's easy. Just click on rewards in the menu bar above. You'll find the different categories of rewards. On each reward we try to give you all the information you'll need, so you can decide whether it is worth taking up. The vast majority of rewards accept all 'types' of points. A small minority may require you to collect points from specific products in order to take them up.

New rewards are being added all the time, so visit regularly

Most of these rewards are given to you by the companies themselves as an extra incentive negotiated for you specially by Coinks®. So you get special discounts and so on. You usually still have to pay something yourself.

But you don't have to pay for everything. Watch out for the special offers that are completely free but are limited in number, and try to get in there quick!

Each reward can give you one or more ways to claim it.

For many rewards, such as Great Days Out, you'll be able to print out a voucher that you can take to the attraction or shop. Each voucher is unique and traceable and can only be used once. You are prohibited by law to try and change the voucher in anyway.

The vouchers are supplied as PDF documents. Most modern computers already have ADOBE PDF reader from Adobe installed. You will version 7 or greater in order to view and print out our vouchers. If you do not the software you can download one for free from Adobe's website or search Google for Adobe pdf reader and you'll be sure to find one.

When you take up a reward, all the details and any vouchers are also sent to your email address. So don't feel the need to print out a voucher immediately, you can do so at your convenience.

Some rewards may be claimed by calling a telephone number. You will be given a telephone number and a unique code to quote to the operator.

Other rewards may require you to visit another website. In this case we will supply you with the web address and often a unique code to enter into that web address.

Finally, some rewards may require take up by post. In these cases we will send you a form to your email address. Each form will have a unique serial number and payment and postal details. Simply complete the form and post it off. Expect to pay the postal charge, unless stated otherwise within the details of the reward. The form is non-transferable and can only be used once.

Dated rewards are often used when we have a limited number of FREEBIES to give away. A dated reward gives everyone an equal chance to claim a FREEBIE, even new members, rather than only favouring those who have already banked a number of points.

To take up a dated reward, you need to have gained the requested number of points, from the date specified. For example, if a reward costs 40 points and is dated 1st June 2008 the system will calculate how many points you have gained since the 1st of June, 2008 when you try and take up the reward. If you have gained less than 40 since the 1st June, then you will be given a message saying you haven't gained enough points from the date and you won't be allowed to take up the reward.

If the reward is dated then the details are provided in the overview of a reward.

Sometimes, you may be given a choice of rewards. If you take up one then you are prevented from taking up the other and vice-versa. This is an example of a DEPENDANT reward

Another type of dependent reward is one that requires you to take up one or more other offers first.

Details of any dependency are provided in the overview of a reward.

If you have any problem in claiming a reward, please let us know as soon as possible. We will investigate and come back to you. A link to our contact details can be found at the bottom of every page.
