Membership Options Explained
When you first click over to buy some oils, the first decision you have to make right away is, do I want to be a Retail Customer or a Wholesale Member? Bottom line? If you think you’ll buy more than one oil a year, become a Wholesale Member so you can get the 24% wholesale discount.
Retail Customer
- No discounts or benefits, you’ll pay full price.
- This is ideal for those who just want to buy one oil a year (if you want to buy more, even just two, you’ll want to be a wholesale member).
Wholesale Membership – Recommended
- Get 24% wholesale discount on all products & option of joining the Essential Rewards program (below)
- This is ideal for those who want to buy two or more oils a year, but have no desire to sell the oils to build a business.
- To keep the discount, you must buy 50 PV* a YEAR (not a month, a year!) AND purchase a starter kit, which run from $40 to $150. The Premium Starter Kit is the most recommended as it has all of the most-used, basic oils and will give you the ideal start to actually using essential oils so they don’t collect dust on a shelf.
- There are no monthly minimums, buy as little or as much as you want.
- There is NO penalty for dropping the program, you’ll only lose your discount but can still buy from Young Living.
* PV is Personal/Point Volume, a point value is assigned to each product. Essential oils are basically 1 point for 1 dollar, but other products are less.
Essential Rewards Program
- Totally optional program for Wholesale Members
- Ideal for those who will buy more than 2 oils a month and/or want to sell oils to make commission and build your own business. This is a fun way to start your own business with the freedom of being in charge!
- If you’re just starting out, just skip this part in the registration. You do NOT have to buy a rewards kit and sign up for this to buy oils.
- The benefits of the program are flat rate discounted shipping, priority for products that are low in stock, and the ability to earn points the longer you’re with the company that you can use like store credit to buy FREE oils!
Member for 0-6 months – earn 10% of your purchases in points for free oils
Member for 7-12 months – earn 15% of your purchases in points for free oils
Member for 13 months or more – earn 20% of your purchases in points for free oils - Requirements – purchase 50 PV* of product of your choosing a month (you can get the same thing shipped every month if you want, or choose something new each time).
- THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT – you can cancel at any time without penalty or fees. You’ll just want to make sure you use the points you have left or you’ll lose them.
- TIP – many of my ER program members spread out their purchases over the year. So, instead of buying 6 oils one month and then they don’t need any the next month, they buy just 3 one month, 3 the next, and so on!

Visual Sign-Up Help
The sign-up process can be confusing, so I’ve created a little guide. After you’ve put in your personal information (address, phone, email, log-in and password), you’ll need to choose a starter kit if you’re signing up as a member.
The Premium Starter Kits all come with actual BOTTLES of essential oils. I know many folks who’ve gotten to this stage in the process and jumped ship because the pictures don’t show any bottles of oil. The bottles are in the teal blue boxes you see. They come with 11 bottles of oils and 10 samples, plus the diffuser, literature, and Ningxia Red samples.
Essential Rewards Section
Remember, this is a totally OPTIONAL program that you can add at any time. I tell my customers to just get your kit, and then once you’re ready join the Essential Rewards program in a few months. So, once you click, “No Thanks,” the section below that will go away and you do not have to purchase those extra kits!
