As of March 31st 2021, your tier is decided based on the accumulation of points in a rolling 365 day period. Paw Points earned before this do not contribute to your tier position. Redeeming Paw Points does not affect your tier.

The date on which any tier is achieved becomes the member's renewal date, and at the end of the 365 day period their tier status will again be decided by the number of points earned over the preceding 365 days. Active customers in the Pawsh Perks scheme who achieved a tiered status during 2020 will maintain their status until 31st December 2021, which will become their renewal date. Achievement of a higher tier will automatically supersede this. Active customers in the Pawsh Perks scheme who achieve or have already achieved a tiered status in 2021 will fall under the new rules, with their renewal date falling 365 days from the date their new status is achieved.

No as soon as your Paw Points qualify you for a tier upgrade you will automatically be moved to the new tier and receive a confirmation by email (within 7 working days) using the email address held on your account.

If you didn’t earn enough Paw Points to stay in your current tier you will automatically be entered into the lower tier.
