FARFETCH’s Access loyalty program lists a “Birthday reward” and describes it as “Celebrate your birthday month with a special discount,” but no page we read says how big the discount is. Access is free and you’re enrolled by having an account, so the open questions are the amount and the tier you need.
What FARFETCH Is
Wikipedia calls Farfetch “a global luxury marketplace headquartered in London” that sells products from over 1,400 brands, boutiques and department stores. It also reports that Coupang acquired the company in January 2024. The birthday reward belongs to FARFETCH Access, the marketplace’s own loyalty program, and the terms name FARFETCH UK Limited as the provider.
How To Get The FARFETCH Birthday Deal
Create a FARFETCH account. The Access terms say “You will be automatically enrolled in this loyalty programme as soon as you create a registered account on FARFETCH,” and the program page agrees with “As soon as you create an account.” The Access FAQ tells a different story: “You’ll be automatically enrolled into the loyalty programme after your first purchase.” So an account is the minimum, and a first order may be what switches the rewards on. The pages also don’t say where FARFETCH gets your birthday from, so check your profile for a date field before you rely on the reward.
What The Birthday Reward Is
The program page lists it in a column of rewards beside the welcome reward and the private members’ sale, and gives it one line: “Celebrate your birthday month with a special discount.” That’s the whole description. There’s no percentage, no code, no spending minimum and no list of eligible brands. The terms add that each tier “unlocks a different set of rewards, such as exclusive discounts, private members’ sale, free shipping, welcome rewards and your annual birthday reward,” and that “Each reward is subject to additional and specific terms and conditions.” Those specific terms sit behind your Access dashboard, which the FAQ describes this way: “Your available rewards are displayed on your Access dashboard, which you can find in your account.”
How The Tiers Work
There are five: “Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Private Client.” For someone new, “your tier is determined by the value of your first FARFETCH order,” and after that it follows your spending during the membership year. Spend lower than the threshold and “You’ll move down one tier.” Anything you pay with gift vouchers or promo codes, and import and export costs, doesn’t count toward your total. The tab for each tier on the program page showed no contents when we read it, so we can’t tell you which tiers get the birthday reward or what it’s worth at each.
What The Old Post Claimed
An earlier version of this post said Access members get a personalized birthday promo code for a range of designer items, and that the amount depends on what you’ve already spent. The pages we read mention a special discount in your birthday month. They don’t mention a personalized code, a list of items, or any link between the amount and your spending beyond the tier system.
What Was Actually Checked
FARFETCH’s Access program page, its UK version, the Access FAQ, the Access terms and the main FAQ page were read in a browser on 2026-10-12, because the site refused plain requests. None of those pages carries a date. The terms don’t restrict the program to a country, but they come from the UK company, so a US shopper should look at the dashboard to see what’s actually on offer. The FAQ’s note on promotions says “promotional discounts can only be redeemed on selected brands and items,” and sends Access members to the dashboard for “promotional rewards in your account,” so the birthday discount may come with brand limits.
Eligibility and Cost
Access is free. The terms say “To qualify for, and to participate in, FFA you must be aged 18 years or over.” The terms also say that if you leave the program or close your account, all your spend is removed and you lose your tier, and rejoining later starts you over as a new member.
Q&A

Q: Do I have to join?
A: The terms say you’re enrolled automatically when you create an account.
Q: Do I need to make a purchase first?
A: One FAQ says enrollment happens after your first purchase, and the terms say it happens at account creation. Plan on a first order.
Q: Which tier gets the birthday reward?
