What are Essential Rewards?
Essential Rewards (ER) is an *optional* autoship, loyalty program (think “monthly box”) where you purchase 50 PV (PV actually stands for PERSONAL VOLUME, however, for this to make more sense, in this post I am referring to PV as purchase volume, product value or point value) every month. Usually, the Product Value is dollar for dollar in price value, but not always. Look at the PV of each product you are purchasing to make sure your PV (not necessarily amount spent) equals 50 every month.
How do I earn points?
- In the first three months (months 1, 2, & 3), you get 10% back in ER point credits.
- In the next twenty-one months (months 4 – 24), you get 20% back in ER point credits.
- In every month after, beginning with month 25, you get 25% back in ER point credits.
PLUS!!! You get free oily gifts* at months 3, 6, 9, and an exclusive Essential Rewards ONLY oil blend called Loyalty at 12 months. Let me tell you, this oil smells amazing! I was so excited to get mine, and it is absolutely incredible. Loyalty cannot be bought; you can only get it through 12 consecutive months of Essential Rewards orders!
*The loyalty gift oils are available while quantities last. Substitute oils will be sent as replacements in the event that quantities of the specified oils are exhausted.
How do I get an ER Account?
If you are just now joining Young Living, you can start on the ER autoship program using your starter kit as your first monthly ER order! After selecting your Starter Kit, below it you will see Essential Rewards. OPTIONAL: You can choose an Essential Rewards Kit in addition to your Starter Kit, OR you can *customize* your ER order adding additional items.
If you are already a YL Wholesale Member, and want to join ER, you can sign up one of two ways. You do NOT have to purchase an Essential Rewards kit, ever, unless you want the products that come in them. {For example, the NingXia Red Essential Rewards kit is the absolute cheapest way to purchase NingXia Red.}

Nope! This is the beauty of the ER program. You can change what you order every. single. month. The only “minimum” you have to reach is 50 PV. There are NO other requirements at all! This is a fantastic way to build your oil supply and try new oils and products.
It is super-easy to change your orders each month. Simply log in to Virtual Office, click on Essential Rewards in the left-hand corner, click the little “Edit” button, the “Add Products” tab, and the “Add Products” or “Remove Products” button to get your cart just like you want it. When you are finished, click the “Save Essential Rewards” button at the bottom.
There are a few limitations. You can spend up to 375 points each month. Items with a blue-green banner beside them are eligible for points redemption. Items without the banner are not eligible.
When redeeming your points, pay careful attention to each item’s POINT VALUE, not price. As I mentioned above, most oils have a dollar-for-dollar price-to-point amount, but not all. If you are wondering how much point value you have to “spend,” here is an example:
PV Assistant
If something in your ER cart goes out of stock before your order processes, PV Assistant will add something from your special list so that you maintain the desired amount of PV.
- If you have 100 points in your account, you can redeem them for any product with a PV value up to 100 PV.
- OR if you have 100 points in your account, you can redeem them for multiple products that have a TOTAL PV of up to 100.
- All ER points redemption must be placed via “Quick Order.” You cannot use these on your Essential Rewards order.

I’m in the ER program, and I’ve decided I don’t want it any longer. What happens now?
If you decide the ER program is not a good fit for you, that’s ok! Before you cancel, just make sure to cash in any accumulated ER points because once you cancel, they are gone. Use up those points, and then call YL customer service to cancel, with no penalties.
You can also rejoin ER at any time after you cancel! You will, however, start at the beginning with 0 PV points, and an earnback of 10% for the first 3 months.
If you even think you are going to be placing an order every month, it is SO worth it to get on the ER program! I have been on ER myself since Sept 2015, and have not regretted one minute of it! It will save you a bundle in the long run. Trust me.

Commissions and Bonuses
If you are wondering about commissions and bonuses, you do not have to have Essential Rewards. However, if you are spending the required PV every month to receive a check, you might as well reap the benefits of an Essential Rewards order!
There is only one bonus that requires Essential Rewards, and that is the Rising Star Team Bonus. To get everything else, all you need is a 50 PV or 100 PV order. Honestly, if you are building a business, your absolute best bet is to not miss out on anything: bonuses, commissions, AND those great ER points – is to place at least a 100 PV order on Essential Rewards. However, ER is not a requirement to receive a paycheck.
You can see the most recent income disclosure here to show the earning potential through Young Living – mind blowing, isn’t it?! I don’t know about you, but there are a LOT of ways I can think of to use a Royal Crown Diamond monthly paycheck to help people!
