Rewards Program
UHS Hardware ("UHS", "we", "us" and "our") is proud to offer “Points” as an incentive for loyal customers.
Earning Points
Points are typically earned by placing and paying for orders on our site at a rate of 1 point per $1 spent. This rate is subject to change at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to, sales and special promotions.
Points can also be earned by completing certain tasks. These tasks may include, but are not limited to, sharing our page on Facebook, following our page on Instagram, or writing a product review. You can view all the ways to earn points in the “Ways to earn” section of the rewards panel found in the lower left of your screen when visiting our website at www.uhs-hardware.com. Points earned may vary based on the task completed.
In order to earn points, you must have an account registered at www.uhs-hardware.com and be logged in at the time of taking action to earn points. Additionally, when earning by placing an order, the order must be fully paid for at the time of placement. Orders paid for using Klarna, even with being installments, are considered fully paid for at time of placement and are eligible to earn points. Pay by Phone and Phone orders are not eligible for point rewards.
Redeeming Points
Points can be redeemed for coupons to use when placing new orders. We currently have 4 levels of point redemptions.
- $5 off Coupon for 500 Points

Expiration of Points
Points will expire on a 6-month (180 days) rolling basis with a lack of account activity. What this means is if you earn points on January 1st, 2023, your points will expire on June 30, 2023 (180 days later), unless you earn more points within the 6-month period. Every action that earns you points will extend the expiration date of all your points by 6 months.

We reserve the right to deny the distribution or redemption of points, as well as modify point totals or values as necessary at any time, for any reason, without disclosure.
