Olive Young Global Membership Levels Explained
If you shop K-beauty at Olive Young Global, you are already part of a free membership program called OY MEMBERS. It has five color-coded levels: the higher you climb, the more points and coupons you get. Here’s how the Olive Young Global membership levels work and the perks you can get when you sign up and shop regularly at OY.

Olive Young Global Membership Explained: What is OY MEMBERS?
OY MEMBERS is the free rewards and membership program for Olive Young Global, the international store that ships to shoppers in places like Japan, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and most of the EU. It doesn’t cost anything to join, and you start earning as soon as you create an account. Plus, you can get rewards if you are a new member for your first order!
One thing to note: the program only works on the Global site. Your level doesn’t carry over to Olive Young’s physical stores in Korea. Also, if you are from the US, you cannot shop at Olive Young Global anymore and will have to use the separate Olive Young US store with its own, separate rewards and membership program!
The 5 Olive Young Global membership levels:
Your level depends on how much you spend in a six-month period.
| Level | Spend (per 6 months) | Points on purchases | Membership coupon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baby Olive | Starting level | 0.5% | First-order coupon |
| Pink Olive | US$1-119.99 | 1.0% | 20% off |
| Green Olive | US$120-179.99 | 1.5% | 40% off |
| Black Olive | US$180-299.99 | 2.0% | 60% off |
| Gold Olive | US$300+ | 2.5% | 80% off + exclusive events |
Every coupon has its own maximum discount and expiry date, so check My Account > Coupons to see the exact terms before you check out.
Note: these are downloadable coupons. You will have to actively download them from your membership tab before they get automatically applied at checkout.
How Do You Move up a Membership Level?
You don’t have to do anything special! Your orders do all the work and automatically add up towards a higher Olive Young Global membership level. Olive Young Global will send you an email informing you about any membership changes. Alternatively, you can check in your “membership” tab when you log into your OY Global account.
Back to Baby: If you had no orders in the last qualifying window, you start again at Baby Olive.
Two six-month windows: January-June and July-December are the two periods counting towards the next membership level. Your spending in one window sets your level for the next.
Instant upgrade: If you hit a higher spending threshold during the current period, you are upgraded automatically, usually the next day (Korean time).
Which orders count: Only orders marked “in iransit” or “delivered.” Coupon discounts, points you’ve spent, taxes and shipping fees don’t count, and cancelled or refunded orders are removed.
You can track your progress on the Membership page. It updates daily.
How do reward points work?
Points are earned on the amount you actually paid for your order, at the percentage for your level (0.5% to 2.5%). Once you have at least one point, you can use them like cash: one point equals US$1 (displayed in whatever currency you have set for the shop). Points can’t be transferred to other people, and you need to be a signed-in member to earn or use them.
Perks every member gets (at any level)
- Up to 0.3 points for writing a product review
- A referral program: 5% off for you, 10% off for your friend
- US$15 off orders of US$120+ when you turn on app notifications
- 5 points for logging in for the first time after installing the app
- 0.5 points for filling out your Beauty Profile

Olive Young Global membership levels: Quick FAQ
Is Olive Young Global membership free?
Yes, it’s completely free to join. For the shop, having your email address is a valuable asset, so signing up is benefit alone for them. You get the perks, they get to enjoy you as a new customer in their databases and can send you their newsletters and offers (if you give them permission to do so, of course!).
Does my level work in Olive Young stores in Korea or for the Olive Young US store?
No. The program is exclusive to Olive Young Global. It also does not work if you live in the US anymore, since “Olive Young US” is now its own, separate store system, unfortunately.
How long does my level last?
Your level is secure for six months. It is then recalculated based on your spending in the previous six-month window. You will be informed via email if your level changes upwards, or you can always check in your membership tab on the OY Global website.
Do points expire or transfer?
Points cannot be transferred to other accounts. Points given for special occasions such as your birthday can expire within 14 days. Check the point details in your account for expiration dates, since terms can change.
Olive Young Global can change its membership benefits at any time, so we recommend checking the official Membership page for the latest details.
