Details are set forth below. By participating in the program you agree to accept these program terms and conditions and acknowledge that you have read, understand, and consent to the privacy policy and terms of use, which are incorporated into, and made a part of this contract. The privacy policy describes how we collect, use, and share information. In the event there is any conflict among these program terms and conditions, the privacy policy and the terms of use, these program terms and conditions will govern. Gap inc. Reserves the right to update or modify these program terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. Those changes will go into effect on the last updated date shown in the revised program terms and conditions.

The Gap Inc. loyalty program (“Program”) consists of 4 branded expressions: Gap Good Rewards, Old Navy Navyist Rewards, Banana Republic Rewards, and Athleta Rewards and is offered exclusively by The Gap Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates (also referred to as “Gap Inc.,” "we," "our," or "us"). Members (also referred to as "you," "your," and include "Cardmembers") participating in the Program agree to be bound by these Program Terms and Conditions ("Program Rules"), the Terms of Use, and the Privacy Policy, (both of which are incorporated herein by reference) as those terms may change from time to time.
These Program Rules supersede all previous terms and conditions applicable to the Program. All Program benefits, offers, rewards, and services are subject to availability. Gap Inc. may at any time amend, modify, supplement, or terminate the Program, these Program Terms and Conditions, the structure for earning rewards, or reward levels, even though such changes may affect the value of rewards, or the ability to obtain certain rewards. If the Program is terminated, all unredeemed benefits will be forfeited without any obligation or liability and will not be honored upon termination or after the conclusion of the notice period, if any notice is required by law. Under no circumstances will we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We reserve the right to cancel or suspend your participation in the Program or any Rewards earned and not yet used in the event of fraud, abuse of rewards privileges, violation of these Program Terms and Conditions, or at our discretion. The Program is limited to the United States, including Puerto Rico, only. Members are responsible for any tax liability related to participation in the Program.

Membership
General Program Membership:
Open to natural persons only. Corporations, groups, and associations are not eligible to participate in the Program.

We may decline membership in the Program to any enrollee at our discretion and without prior notice.

Participation in the Gap Inc. credit card program is not required for a general membership. When enrolling as a general member, you will enter the Program as a CORE Member.
Credit Card Membership:
Participation in the Program as a Gap Inc. credit Cardmember requires you to apply and be approved for a Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy or Athleta credit card. For convenience, we will refer to all these credit cards as the Gap Inc. credit card. When applying for a Gap Inc. credit card, a phone number is required.
When you apply for a Gap Inc. credit card, you will be automatically enrolled into the Program. If you are approved for a credit card, you will enter the Program at the Enthusiast status level. If you are already a member in the Program, you will retain any status level you have attained that is higher than Enthusiast status. Gap Inc. Cardmembers receive the rewards and benefits of general membership as well as special benefits associated with the Gap Inc. credit card account as set out in these Program Rules and/or in promotional materials. If you apply for a Gap Inc. credit card and are not approved for a Gap Inc. credit card, you will be enrolled into the Program as a CORE member if you have not previously enrolled in the Program.
Membership Status Levels:
Upon reaching certain milestones, members will unlock higher membership status levels with additional benefits based on the total Qualifying Purchases (defined as merchandise purchased at our Family of Brands for personal use. Excludes purchases for resale, or amounts for sales tax, state fees, gift packaging fees, shipping & handling or delivery charges, and any amount paid using a purchase order, gift card, merchandise credit, mail certificate, gift certificate, credit voucher, refund check, or any other type of store credit. You will not earn points for the amount of any coupon or discounts, or the value of any Rewards applied to your purchase).
Core: no minimum Qualifying Purchases.
Enthusiast: minimum Qualifying Purchases of $500 to $999 at our Family of Brands for general members who do not have a Gap Inc. credit card. You will automatically be enrolled as an Enthusiast Cardmember when you are approved for a Gap Inc. credit card.
Icon: minimum Qualifying Purchases of $1000 at our Family of Brands, or for Gap Inc. credit Cardmembers who have achieved 5000 base points during a calendar year. Upgrades will be processed within 60 days after qualifying.
Qualifying Purchases amount identified above must be maintained between January 1 and December 31 of any given year. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Qualifying Purchases amount will be reset to zero. Members will enter each new year at the previous year-end status level and retain that status through the end of the new year. In the new calendar year, if you do not reach the minimum Qualifying Purchases amount for Icon or Enthusiast as applicable during the year, your status will be adjusted in the following year.
If you are a Luxe4Life member, you will retain your Luxe4Life membership at the Icon status as long as you retain your Gap Inc. credit card account that qualified you for Luxe4Life membership. If you are a World Mastercard® credit Cardmember, you will be at Icon status unless and until you no longer meet the requirements to qualify for World Mastercard.
Benefits of Membership
Communications regarding the Program, including benefits, and promotions will be sent via email so please keep your email address current. We are not responsible for communications, offers, or rewards sent to out-of-date email addresses.
Earning Points
To earn points at our Family of Brands, members must provide a phone number for in-store purchases or an email address for online purchases, or make a purchase using your Gap Inc. credit card. If you are signed into your account online or provide a phone number in the store but use a Gap Inc. credit card that is not linked to your account at the time of checkout, you will earn points based on the Program account associated with the Gap Inc. credit card you used to pay for the transaction. If you have more than one Gap Inc. credit card and you use the same phone number and email address for all of your credit card accounts and Program membership, all points earned will accumulate in one single Program account.
If you make a purchase using Afterpay or PayPal, you will be eligible to earn points at 1 point per $1 of Qualifying Purchases or 2 points per $1 of Qualifying Purchases on a World Mastercard account even if you use your Gap Inc. credit card in the PayPal or Afterpay platforms. As a Gap Inc. Cardmember, you earn points made on Qualifying Purchases by you and any authorized user(s) of your Gap Inc. credit card account.
Base Points:
Unless you use a Gap Inc. credit card, you will earn 1 point for every dollar (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) of Qualifying Purchases at our Family of Brands in the United States, including Puerto Rico. When you use your Gap Inc. credit card, you will earn 5 points for every dollar (roundest to the nearest whole dollar) of Qualifying Purchases at our Family of Brands in the United States, including Puerto Rico.When you make a purchase using your Gap Inc. Mastercard in our brands in locations outside of the United States or outside our brands wherever Mastercard is accepted, you will earn 1 point for every dollar spent on your Gap Inc. Mastercard credit card or 2 points for every dollar spent on your Gap Inc. World Mastercard credit card.
When you make a purchase using your Gap Inc. credit card at our brands in Canada, you will not earn any bonus points on the transaction as you would using your Gap Inc. Credit card at our brands within the U.S. (and Puerto Rico). When used at our brands in Canada, Mastercard cardmembers will earn points in the same way as if used anywhere outside our brands.
Bonus Points:
From time to time, we may offer the opportunity to earn bonus points. The promotional materials may identify additional qualifying events, exclusions, and restrictions. Bonus points will not be used to determine your qualification for membership status.In addition, any transaction amount paid with earned rewards, a purchase order, gift card, merchandise credit, mail certificate, gift certificate, credit voucher, refund check, or any other type of store credit, will not earn any points. Other exclusions may apply during special promotions.
You will not earn rewards points for the amount of any coupons or discounts on a transaction, on purchases made through any third-party platforms (such as EBay), or the value of any points or rewards applied to your purchase.
You may see rewards points you receive advertised as “% back in Rewards.” For every increment of 100 points you will receive $1 dollar in rewards (or discounts) to be applied to a future purchase. For example:
- 100 points = $1 in rewards or discount;
- 1000 points = $10 in rewards or discount;
- 1100 points = $11 in rewards or discount;
- Etc.
There is no limit as to the number of points you can earn. You may only redeem up to $500 in rewards per transaction. Points are initially earned in a pending status, and after approximately 14 days become eligible to apply towards a purchase. Points received for items that are returned will be deducted from your points balance at the time of the return. If any deduction puts your account into a negative points balance, you will not be eligible to use your rewards to receive a discount until you earn a positive balance of 100 points.
Points Expiration:
All points will expire if a Program account has no purchase activity for 12 consecutive months.
Redeeming Rewards
Rewards can be redeemed at our Family of Brands for the purchase of merchandise. Not valid at BR Home or in the Gap Inc. Clearance Center. Rewards cannot be used for the purchase of gift cards, for taxes or state fees, packaging fees, shipping & handling or delivery charges, charitable donations, and gift wrap charges. Rewards must be presented at time of purchase in store, or if you are shopping online, you must be signed into your online account in order to apply rewards to a purchase transaction online. The value of your reward will be prorated across items purchased and reflected on your receipt. If you return merchandise purchased with rewards, and to the extent we can identify the value of the reward points used in the original purchase, then the dollar value of the rewards allocated to the item(s) returned will be converted to points and credited to your membership account.
Rewards may not be used as payment on a Gap Inc. credit card account.
Important Note:
Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash or credit. You have no ownership interest in points, and these points collected do not constitute property. The use of the word "earn" or similar language in marketing materials and these Program Rules in relation to the Program does not imply that the points have any value prior to conversion or redemption. Points may not be purchased or sold and are not transferable.

Member is responsible for providing correct email address and phone number and updating email address and phone number used in the Program should either change.
If you determine that you have 2 separate Program accounts under different email addresses and/or phone numbers, you may contact Customer Service at 1-833-244-5556 and request that your Program accounts be combined into one Program account.
The Program sends transactional emails related to your membership in the Program including but not limited to the following: welcome email; recurring membership status statements and/or updates; issuance of rewards points earned; reminder of upcoming expiration of earned points; etc. To stop receiving these transactional emails, you must cancel your Program membership.

This process needs to be completed for each brand’s marketing emails from which you wish to unsubscribe.
Cancellation of Membership
Members must maintain an active Program membership to earn and redeem points. You may opt out of the Program at any time. If you opt out of the Program, you will no longer earn points or be able to redeem points and you will forfeit your unused and unexpired points. Deletion of points is final and cannot be reversed.

Expiration of Points
If there is no earning or redeeming of points in your Program membership account at least once every 12 months (from your last Qualifying Purchase), all earned and unredeemed points will expire and be forfeited, and we may close your Program membership account.
If you return merchandise purchased with rewards, the dollar value of the rewards allocated to the item(s) returned will be converted to points and credited to your Program membership account to the extent we can identify that rewards points were used in the original purchase. If your points balance is insufficient to cover a deduction related to a return, your points balance may become negative. Subsequent points earned will first be applied to reduce that negative balance. Gap Inc. may suspend membership accounts with a negative balance. If your Program account is suspended, you may seek re-instatement from Customer Service. Returns of gifts you received but which you were not the original purchaser or return of items purchased without noting your Program membership will not be tied back to your account for return credit of any associated points. In a return transaction where reward points were used to reduce the total amount paid, you are entitled to a refund for only amounts actually paid.
Severability
If any provision of these Program Rules or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of these Program Rules and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected. To the fullest extent possible, the court finding such provision invalid, illegal, or unenforceable shall modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all persons or entities and to give the maximum possible protection to persons subject to indemnification within the bounds of validity, legality, and enforceability.
No Waiver
Gap Inc.’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict compliance with any provision of these Program Rules shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right and will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future. Nothing in these Program Rules will limit Gap Inc. from exercising any legal rights or remedies that it may have.
Errors or Inconsistencies
Despite our best efforts to ensure accuracy, errors occasionally occur. We reserve the right to correct such errors at any time even if it affects pending benefits, rewards, or points in your Program account. In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the Program Rules or other statements contained in any related materials or advertising, the terms of the then-current Program Rules shall prevail, govern, and control.
Limitations of Liability and Damages
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, THE PROGRAM AND ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. GAP INC., ITS AFFILIATES, VENDORS, PARTNERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS INCLUDING BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THOSE ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Dispute Resolution And Arbitration Agreement
Informal Dispute Resolution
Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but also in time and energy, both you and Gap Inc. agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to any transaction, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement or any part of it ("Dispute"), the party asserting the Dispute must first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice must be sent:
- to Gap Inc. at: Gap Inc. Legal Department, 2 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attn: General Counsel; or
- to you at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.
Both you and Gap Inc. agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
Arbitration Agreement
To the extent the party asserting the dispute cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, a Dispute must be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You and Gap Inc. agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Dispute. You and Gap Inc. expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to the Gap Inc.: Attn: General Counsel, The Gap Inc., 2 Folsom St., San Francisco, 94105. You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. Gap Inc. will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000. Gap Inc. waives its right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
In lieu of arbitration, either you or Gap Inc. may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim.
This Arbitration Agreement is governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions will survive after this Agreement terminates or your use of the Program ends. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
These Program Rules and Arbitration Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of law provisions.
Waiver of Right to Bring Class Actions and Representative Claims
All arbitrations must proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court. However, to the extent permissible by applicable law, any relief awarded by the arbitrator must be individualized to you to not affect any other customer. You and Gap Inc. agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or Gap Inc.’s respective individual capacities and in so doing you and Gap Inc. hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If it is decided that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court and be severed from any arbitration.
Termination
With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement, which will survive the termination of these Terms, these Terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or Gap Inc. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by canceling your Membership. Gap Inc. also may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice, and accordingly may deny you access to the Program, if in Gap Inc.’s sole judgment you fail to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement. The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date will survive the termination of this Agreement for all purposes.
