Free to join

Wellness Rewards Member

No fee at all. You earn and redeem points on product purchases, and get 5% off Subscribe & Earn orders. There’s no standing product discount at this tier.

$19.95 a year

Wellness Rewards VIP

The paid tier. Starts at Bronze: 15% off suggested retail price, a free sample with every order, and extra points. Higher discounts unlock as your accumulated spend grows.

The annual fee

What the $19.95 covers, and how renewal works

  • The fee is charged once a year using the payment method you select — that card is saved for automatic renewal each year.
  • You’ll get a reminder email before your renewal date, so you can choose whether to continue for the following year.
  • It’s a flat $19.95 no matter when you join — the fee isn’t prorated. Your membership runs 12 months from the date of payment.
  • If a renewal payment fails, the system retries three times, every three days, with a 30-day grace period before the account downgrades to the free tier.

The discounts

How the 15% / 25% / 35% tiers work

Spend thresholds are cumulative with no time period — there’s no rush. You keep your tier as long as you renew your VIP membership each year. Free shipping is included on all orders over $150.

$19.95 a year

Bronze VIP

15% off suggested retail price, starting as soon as the fee is paid. One free sample per order and 1.25x points on Subscribe & Earn orders.

$500 accumulated spend + $19.95 a year

Silver VIP

25% off suggested retail price, one free sample per order, and 1.5x points on Subscribe & Earn orders.

$2,500 accumulated spend + $19.95 a year

Try your own numbers

This calculator applies one discount rate to every month of the year, against full suggested retail price — the comparison most shoppers want. To model the free tier instead, enter 5%: that’s the Subscribe & Earn discount the free membership gets. Reaching Silver or Gold takes accumulated spend, so the result is a starting point, not an automatic first-year outcome.

Before you sign up

What to compare

  • Whether the free tier’s 5% Subscribe & Earn discount already covers how you order.
  • The fee, renewal date and saved payment method on Herbalife’s own sign-up page.
  • How quickly your spending would reach the $500 or $2,500 thresholds.
  • Shipping on orders under $150, tax, and whether the products you like are in the special pricing group.
