The VIP membership program of the LEGO® Shop official store will be renewed as ‘LEGO® INSIDERS’ starting from August 21, 2023, as announced on the VIP Rewards Center.
Transition from VIP to INSIDERS
According to the official announcement, several changes have been introduced, consolidating multiple accounts that were required across various LEGO® Group websites into one. Additionally, points can be earned by registering existing LEGO® sets and participating in activities.
Other features such as early access to releases, earning points through purchases, and exchanging points for discount codes (coupon vouchers) and exclusive member benefits will remain intact, carrying over from the previous perks of being a VIP member at the LEGO® Shop official store.
While the transition from VIP membership isn’t a drastic change, it can be noted that the various LEGO® Group sites have become more user-friendly and streamlined compared to before.
Earn Points Even for Previously Purchased Sets
Of note is the perk that allows you to earn points by registering the QR codes from the instruction manuals of LEGO® sets you already own to your LEGO® INSIDERS account.
Members can now earn points by registering sets they have previously purchased through the unique QR codes found in the assembly instructions and cataloging them within their LEGO® Insiders account.
As the details are yet to be disclosed, the exact number of points you can receive by registering sets in your LEGO® INSIDERS account remains unknown. While it’s likely not a substantial amount, those who have been keeping their assembly manuals might want to consider registering them one by one.
