The Program offer different levels determined by the number of points a member has accumulated on their customer account with each purchase.

Points can only be converted into a coupon starting from 50 points obtained, and a single customer account cannot accumulate more than 200 points before they are converted into a coupon. NCDSM reserves all the rights to cancel a coupon of more than 200 euros and to split it into several coupons, the amount of which is equivalent to the initial coupon.

Each coupon is valid for one year starting from the day the points are converted into a coupon.
