JD STATUS FAQs

Key Membership FAQ’s

What is JD STATUS?
- JD STATUS is the brand-new JD loyalty scheme and smart phone app that rewards you for shopping with us. JD STATUS is a free membership. The membership gives you an exciting opportunity to start building what we call “JD Cash”, a cashback value for you to use against future in-store purchases made in participating JD Stores. For each purchase you make in-store using JD STATUS, you will receive JD Cash in return which can save you money on future in-store JD purchases. Please read the full membership terms which can be viewed here for more details.
Who can use the JD STATUS app?
- There are 4 key requirements to be eligible for membership: (1) You must be 18+, (2) You must be a resident of the Republic of Ireland, (3) You must have a valid mobile number to register your account; and (4) You must accept the membership terms. If at any point you fail to meet the above eligibility criteria; JD may withdraw or suspend your membership.
  
  The JD STATUS App can be used in all our JD Republic of Ireland stores.
What is JD Cash?
- JD Cash is effectively a cashback % on the money you spend. You can earn JD Cash when you shop in-store. JD Cash acts as a discount on your future purchases, it is not physical cash which can be credited to your bank account.
  
  The cashback % is 10% on your first purchase and 1% thereafter. However, this % may vary during promotional periods. Please read the full membership terms for further details.
How do I earn & spend JD Cash?
- Earning JD Cash is easy. Simply scan your JD STATUS QR code in-store at the till and you will automatically earn JD Cash.
  
  Your JD Cash will be pending for a period of 7 days following the date of purchase. After this period, is only valid for 180 days. You can only “burn” (i.e., spend) JD Cash in-store.
Can I have JD STATUS account in a different country?
- As your JD STATUS account is linked to a mobile phone number, you can only have one account active per country. You can setup an additional JD STATUS account in another country, however these would not be linked. For example, you could have an account in the UK and one in the Republic of Ireland, but any JD Cash earnt on your Republic of Ireland account would not be displayed on your UK account. You should only create an account in the country you instead to spend any JD Cash.
Will I get a physical JD STATUS card?
