Can I earn more points in Karat Rewards Gold or Diamond levels than in the Silver level?

Yes. Pawn America Karat Rewards gives you the ability to earn more points as you advance to higher levels. Gold level members earn more points than Silver, and Diamond level earns more than Gold for each qualifying transaction. For example, a $200 retail purchase earns you 100 Karat points at the Silver level, 150 Karat points at the Gold level, or 200 Karat points at the Diamond level.

All points are credited to your account at the end of the business day. You will see the points appear in your Karat Rewards account the day after the qualifying transaction takes place. If you earned points that result in achieving a new level, you will officially be at that level when the points are credited to your account.

How can I redeem points for cash discounts?

You may redeem points in your Pawn America Karat Reward account for retail floor purchases or use them for pawn loan fees or extension fees.

How do I earn Gold level or Diamond level status?

You only need to earn 1,500 points in a 12-month period from your enrollment date to earn Karat Gold level. As you continue to earn points in that same 12-month period and you achieve 15,000 points or more, you will earn Diamond level status.

Once I achieve Gold or Diamond level, how can I retain that level?

Once you achieve Gold or Diamond level status, you will need to continue to earn points in the succeeding 12 months from the date you earned that level to remain in that level. For example, on Feb 1, you exceeded 1,500 points; from Feb 1 to January 31 of the following year, you would need to continue to earn 1,500 new Karat Rewards Points to remain Gold Status for the following 12-month period. If you were to fall short of earning the 1,500 new points by January 31 of the following year, you would revert to silver status. The same example applies to achieving Diamond status, only the points required for that level are 15,000 in the 12-month period.

If I redeem points for a cash discount, and subsequently return an item I purchased and earned points for, could my Karat Rewards Account potentially go negative?

Yes this could happen. If it does, your account will remain negative in points value until you earn enough points sufficient to bring your account into positive points balance once again.
