Double VIP points at LEGO.com
Posted by Huw,.jpeg)
From today until the end of the month LEGO VIPs in the UK, Europe and Australasia can enjoy double points at LEGO.com on all purchases.
Those of you in North America will have your chance in March, which might be better timing because new sets will have been released by then.

Bit naughty as North America may be to get a yet to be officially announced GWP and Double Points at the same time on new sets.. whilst rest of world gets just double points and no new sets.. Vote with your purchases :)
Waiting for Jane Goodall promo instead

thats the one i meant ..US will get that PLUS Double Points..
Good timing for me - I'll be in Manchester for Bricktastic, so a sojourn to the Lego Store will be in order. I don't think my wallet is safe.
I'm always more tempted by a nice GWP than double VIP points. An extra £5 off per £100 seems a bit tight. Quad points and I might be interested.
Perfect timing!
Combine the points with the GWP and LEGO would have a lot more of my money in their accounts, but not going to buy my next large set for a measly 5% more off.
Is the Titanic ever going to come back into stock?
Ah yes, the day after the double VIP offer ends..........
Yep, Jane Goodall GWP from 3rd March so hold off on those new set purchases.
Lousy that Lego aren’t putting out the calendars anymore - props to BriQ Foundation who is making his own calendar and putting it out there for us.
I was about to go off on one here about the Home Alone house still not being in stock ... but just checked and it is available for back order.
With double points that will take me over the total needed for the five coins (though the display case is out of stock). Decisions, decisions ...
If you purchase today, will VIP points be added to your account immediately, or at least within the 28th?
“…LEGO VIPs in the UK, Europe and Australasia…”
Pedantic, I know, but the UK is still part of Europe, just not part of the EU.
US 2x VIP is coming March 12-14.
Has anyone seen that Jane Goodall set?

A little later than I would like, since that will be toward the end of the Jane Goodall GWP timeframe. Stock might run out before then.
I'm always excited by the double point VIP announcement and then I do the math and it's not really worth buying something. I mean if you're planning to buy something you might as well get the double points, and that can schedule a buy, but it's not incentive enough to create a buy I think.

It was on backorder for almost a whole day, 3 weeks ago!

The entitlement to double points applies to the day you order but the points only actually get added to your account when the order ships.
At this point I'm just stockpiling my points. Not sure when I'll use them, but at least I'll have a ton if I need them.
I tend to do the same with airline miles. I save them until I can't find a flight at a decent price (which was usually when I was flying close to Christmas.)
Jane Goodall GWP from 3rd March - 03/15 purchases over $120
vintage taxi 3/25-5-7 buy//either 10255 10270 10278 10297
Ah yes, Australasia, where lego service is so screwed up
Fingers crossed for some good Honey offers coming up in March. I'm going to hopefully be finally picking up the 80036 City of Lanterns
Bold of you to assume the new sets will release on time in the US! :P
What IS the actual calculation of what VIP points are actually worth now? I’ve never looked it up and math, old or new…I don’t dare attempt any.

Still the same, 5%
