What this page is
This is the "Cheers VIP Member Discounts" post on achievement.co.za, one of AM.CO.ZA's company sites. It points to cheers.co.za, the home of the Cheers VIP membership.
Original text (as published): "Cheers VIP is an invite-only membership programme that unlocks exclusive discounts from selected brands and suppliers. Members can activate their status through the Cheers app and a unique QR code, then access special benefits from participating partners."
This Knowledge Base version expands that into a plain guide for AM.CO.ZA clients.
What Cheers VIP is
Cheers VIP is an invite-only membership. Members get discounts and selected VIP-only offers from participating brands, and AM.CO.ZA and the Buythis store are among them. For AM.CO.ZA clients the main benefit is simple: an active VIP member gets up to 20% off the normal price on qualifying products, on AM quotations and on Buythis.
Membership is a privilege. Creating a Cheers account on its own does not make you a VIP; the account has to be activated.
How to join
- Install the Cheers VIP app. Go to cheers.co.za to find it, or search for "Cheers VIP" in your phone's app store. You need a cellphone number to receive a WhatsApp code and set up the account.
- Activate VIP status. Open the app, tap the lock icon and scan an activation QR code. Each activation code works once, for one account, and only for a limited time.
- Get an activation in one of three ways: a friend who is already a VIP activates you, the AM.CO.ZA sales counter activates you, or you email vip@am.co.za for an activation voucher.
Joining is a once-off step. For repeat clients it means the 20% discount applies every time they buy.
How the discount is applied
- On an AM.CO.ZA quotation: the quotation system only needs the phone number you used to activate VIP. It recognises the VIP and applies the 20% discount automatically.
- On Buythis: the VIP discount is applied in the cart when the phone number used at checkout belongs to an active VIP. If that number is not a VIP, regular prices apply. According to the Buythis VIP page, a new Buythis account also gets VIP promotional pricing on its first order, and VIP status is then checked against the phone number on the order.
- You do not need to keep using the app after activation. Just keep your VIP status active.
- The app's share-contact feature is only for spreading the discount through your network of friends.
Keeping VIP status active
VIP status expires after about 30 days without a purchase. Each purchase from AM.CO.ZA resets that period, so regular clients keep the discount and inactive accounts lose it.
What it means for AM.CO.ZA public prices
The prices AM.CO.ZA shows publicly are already Cheers VIP prices: they are 20% below the non-VIP list price, unless a product is marked as not eligible for VIP. They are quoted excluding VAT. Do not take another 20% off a public price. Buythis always adds VAT at checkout. See Cheers VIP public prices for the detail.
