Frequently Asked Questions
Every customer who spends $500* or more at The Ark AND signs up to our Ark community with an email is an ‘Ark VIP’.
All
Ark VIPs receive a benefit of 5% off every purchase in store or online
including accessories (excluding further discounted sale pieces and
warehouse sale pieces). It’s our way of thanking our customers for
supporting Ethically Accredited, Australian designed and made.
*Purchases made on further discounted sale pieces and warehouse pieces do not count towards the required spend amount.
Once you become an Ark VIP our team will automatically apply the 5% off your purchase at the checkout at any of our boutiques.
If you would like to use your 5% off benefit for online purchases at theark.com.au,
you will need a unique authorisation code to use at the online
checkout. The same authorisation code can be used every time you make an
online purchase. New customers who spend $500 or more and are signed up
to our Ark community will be issued VIP status and a unique
authorisation code via sales@theark.com.au.
