I would like to share WHAT the Essential Rewards Autoship program is, WHY you might benefit from it, HOW to sign up for it, and THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, HOW to cash in your rewards points to purchase Young Living products! If you already are on the Essential Rewards program, you may learn something, or you may want to share this with others.
What are Essential Rewards?
First, let's set something straight! When you signed up to be a wholesale Young Living member, you may remember seeing the Essential Rewards Kit selections that are suggested in addition to the Starter Kit selections. For me, those scared me away from signing up for Essential Rewards. They seemed like a lot of money at the time, and I didn't necessarily want all that was included in any of the kits that were suggested.
If you felt the same way as I did, you may be happy to know those kits are not required for Essential Rewards!
Essential Rewards is an autoship program in which you can receive points toward free products just by ordering 50 PV or more a month. Here are more facts about ER:
Why should you sign up for Essential Rewards?
To be honest, maybe the Essential Rewards Autoship program isn't right for you. If you do not order or plan to order at least 50 PV a month, you should not sign up for ER. Personally, my monthly Young Living order is well over 50 PV because I use Young Living products all day every day! Now that I have been on ER Autoship for 17 months, I am enjoying 20% back in free products, as well as added perks, depending on the size of my order.
Here are some reasons why I chose ER Autoship and why it might be a good idea for you:
How do you sign up for Essential Rewards?
For some reason, this is the reason why it took me over 2 years to finally sign up for Essential Rewards. I wasn't sure how to do it, so I just didn't waste my time trying to figure it out. Now I realize I wasted a lot of money due to my procrastination. A lot of the products I had ordered could have been free of charge! I don't want this to happen to you IF you now realize you could benefit from the Essential Rewards program!
Here it is! How to sign up for Essential Rewards in 3 easy steps:
1. Sign into your virtual office. This link --YOU MAY WANT TO BOOKMARK IT-- takes you right to the virtual office log in page which looks like this:

Essential Rewards is an autoship program in which you can receive points toward free products just by ordering 50 PV or more a month. Here are more facts about ER:
- You do need to pick a particular date that the products will be ordered every month.
- You can change that date any time.
- You can also change the products you order up until midnight on the date you have chosen.
- The products you order are your choice in any combination you choose. (You CAN order an Essential Rewards Kit, but it is NOT required!)
- The products in your ER order have to total up to 50 PV, which is usually the same as the wholesale dollar amount.
- You can cancel Essential Rewards at any time by contacting Young Living Member Services, but you will lose any Essential Rewards points you have acquired in case you decide to sign up again later.

Here are some reasons why I chose ER Autoship and why it might be a good idea for you:
- Discounted Shipping. Pay a $6.98 U.S. flat shipping fee on the order's first 5 pounds and just $0.63 per additional pound for ground shipments to the continental U.S.
- Exclusive Rewards Points. Earn points toward future product purchases with every Essential Rewards order. As your months with Essential Rewards increase, so do your rewards! I think of it as Young Living putting money into my own personal savings account. It stays there to accumulate so I can use it any time I want. (Essential Rewards points do expire on a rolling 12 month basis.)
- In your first 6 consecutive months on ER, you get 10% back for future free products!
- In months 7-12 of consecutively being on ER, you get 15% back for future free products!
- 13+ consecutive months of being on ER, you get 20% back for future free products!
- Easy Monthly Shipments. For as little as $50 a month, plus tax and shipping, you get great Young Living products of your choice shipped directly to your home. It's like Christmas every month! You can order the same thing every month and never have to do a thing, or you can easily change your order each month.
- Other Great Incentives. Depending on the size of your order, you get free products and other incentives in addition to those you earn with rewards points. For example, this month, I am looking forward to receiving these products free of charge in my shipment: A 5ml bottle of Geranium EO, Life 5 Probiotic Supplements, and a 5ml bottle of Jade Lemon EO! In addition to that, I will get 20 additional rewards points added to my Young Living "savings account." Also, once in a while, Young Living offers a $20 coupon toward a starter kit that you can offer to your friends and family who would like to sign up to get Young Living's great products at wholesale prices too. Sharing is caring!
