Pulse | Afterpay Rewards

What is the Pulse?

Pulse is a first-of-its-kind program that rewards top Afterpay users for spending responsibly.

This isn’t your everyday pay-for-points program where you get a point for every dollar you spend. Instead, on-time payments unlock Pulse benefits (a collection of top-requested features and exclusive Afterpay perks!).

We want you to get more of what you love with the flexibility to do so on your own terms. That’s Pulse by Afterpay.

Who can join Pulse?

Coming very soon) If you have mobile app version 1.24.0 minimum, you will be able to sign up for PULSE through your app.  It is only available to a select number of our best customers.

If you’re an Afterpay user in the U.S., you may be invited to join Pulse if you meet the following criteria:

• Make 30 or more on-time payments on orders $40+ in a 6-month cycle (January–June or July–December)
• Make no more than 3 late payments in that same 6-month cycle

The on-time payments tracker updates overnight, not real time so when you make payments to us, allow the tracker to catch up the following day.

How long does eligibility last?

Each Pulse eligibility cycle is a fixed 6-month period (January–June and July–December). 

Afterpay users who make at least 30 on-time payments may get access to Pulse benefits for that cycle and will also be eligible for membership in the following cycle—unless they make more than 3 late payments in that same 6-month period.

To get access to Pulse benefits in the following cycle, users will need to reach 30 on-time payments again.

Do all on-time payments count towards eligibility?

On-time payments on orders $40+ count towards eligibility. The first payment of an order, when paid at the time of purchase, does not count towards your total number of on-time payments.

What happens if I don’t make a payment on time?

Pulse rewards program members can make no more than 3 late payments during a 6-month eligibility cycle in order to stay eligible. If a rewards member makes 4 late payments within that eligibility cycle, they’ll lose access to the Pulse benefits. 

Where can I access the Pulse benefits?

You must download our latest version of the app. 1.24.0

If you go to the profile section (little person at the bottom right hand side of the menu bar) you should see PULSE in the list of contents.  If you click here you will see your loyalty status.

• Pay $0 up front by selecting Afterpay at checkout, as you normally would. There will be $0 due at the final Afterpay confirmation step. 
• Reschedule an upcoming payment from the Afterpay app or website by opening the order with the payment date you’d like to change and selecting the option to ‘Change Next Payment Date.’ Then, select your preferred date, confirm your selection, and your payment date will be changed. Read more about how to change a payment date yourself here.
• Purchase gift cards from top retailers like Sephora, West Elm, and Macy’s. 
• Get notified when exclusive offers, discounts, and product launches become available by making sure you’re subscribed to our emails. 

Where can I track my on-time payments?

Check the ‘Orders’ section of the Afterpay app to tally up your on-time payments (January–June or July–December). Note that the first payment of an order, when made at the time of purchase, does not count towards your total number of on-time payments.
