Tell us the people whose taste you really admire. They become your trusted tastemakers, and their recommendations help you buy better things.
Add the stuff you love to collections for others to see and shop. Each time you buy something, you get the chance to thank the person who made the recommendation and that person earns rewards for helping. Earn rewards when people buy what you recommend, even if someone else passed along your recommendation.
Pretty much anything for sale online can easily be purchased on Luvocracy. Once you set up your account, anything you want to buy is just a click away. A Luvocracy shopping assistant finds the product at a competitive price from a reputable retailer, places the order, and will assist with any glitches or return needs. If a product is sold out, we will scour the world to find some place it is in stock. If it’s out of stock everywhere, we will let the designer know that you want to buy it and give him or her the opportunity to make more for you if possible. Your credit card information and email address will never leave Luvocracy.
During your first year as a member of Luvocracy, you earn 2% of everything bought by the people you invite. To qualify you must have invited these people via the site and they must have activated their membership through that specific invitation.
Throughout the time you are an active member of Luvocracy, you earn 2% when someone buys one of your recommendations. You can also earn rewards on re-recommendations. For example, if someone re-recommends your recommendation, you will receive 1% reward credit on the purchase of that re-recommendation.
