LEGO Certified Store of Créteil: VIP card accepted but with some restrictions

Lego announced last september the implementation of a test phase concerning the extension of the VIP program to LEGO Certified Stores, franchised stores managed by the Italian company Percassi. It's the Certified Store de Créteil-Soleil which had been selected for this test and it is now possible to use your VIP card there as in any "real" LEGO Store, with a few details.

It is therefore currently possible to accumulate VIP points, to use them during your purchases, to take advantage of promotional offers linked to the program and to register directly in-store for this loyalty program if not not already done.

However, it is not possible to use your points if you do not have the physical card or its digital version at the checkout, employees of this Certified Store not having the ability to search for you in the regular database of VIP program members.

There is no point in generating a coupon online via the VIP rewards center if you intend to make your purchases in this shop: these coupons are not accepted, you will have to indicate that you wish to use your points directly at the checkout.

We do not know how long this full-scale test will last and LEGO warned last September that there is currently no question of generalizing the integration of the VIP program to others. Certified Stores. We will have to wait for the manufacturer and its partner in charge of managing these franchised stores to learn the first lessons from this first test phase to find out more.
