The more you learn, the more perks you earn, making your herbal studies even more rewarding! From discounts and free courses, to complimentary Herbal Academy merch and birthday gifts, we’re thrilled to show our appreciation for our student community.
The best part? While most reward programs start out at zero on the day they open, we’ve found a way to honor some past purchases and give you a bit of a head start. This means that many students will be automatically enrolled into our Rewards Program with perks already unlocked.

We’re able to honor eligible purchases as far back as January 1, 2025. If you’ve made a purchase with Herbal Academy since then, the answer is YES, you qualify for rewards and have been automatically enrolled into the program.
Just make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter list with the same email address that’s associated with your Student Account to receive all your Rewards Perks. (Fill out the form below, if needed).
The Rewards Program will open via email the afternoon of August 5, 2026. If you’re eligible, look for an email with the subject line: “Welcome to Herbal Academy Rewards: [Your Tier name]” for all the details (and save it for future reference)!
If you have NOT made a purchase with Herbal Academy since January 1, 2025, then you do not qualify for rewards (yet!). You will need to complete a transaction of $1 or more to be automatically enrolled into the Rewards Program.
Make sure you’re able to receive the Rewards Program emails via the form below (enter the same email that’s used for your Herbal Academy student account) to receive your welcome email with details.
Your Rewards Program tier status is determined by your overall spend with Herbal Academy since January 1, 2025. When you purchase Herbal Academy courses, workshops, or items from our Goods Shop, it all counts toward your overall spend.
Tier status is permanent, and never resets or expires. Once a tier status is reached, you’ll keep it for life, unless you advance to the next tier to unlock more perks!

If you’re an email subscriber, then as soon as you reach a rewards tier, you will receive an email explaining the perks you have access to. This will include the coupon code for your tier discount and a link to access your complimentary materia medica pages (Tier 1) or enrollment access (Tiers 2 – 5). Save this email!
If you’re not subscribed to Herbal Academy emails – but would like to join the Rewards Program and believe that you qualify – then please fill out and submit the form at the top of this page.
Keep an eye on your inbox on your birthday, because we’ll send you a separate email with a coupon code for Goods Shop Birthday Bucks (Tiers 2 – 5), and a link to add a complimentary birthday gift to your cart at checkout (Tiers 4 and 5).
Your coupon codes for course access are found in your Tier welcome email, which you may use on your next individual course enrollment.
Every trip around the sun, you’ll earn Birthday Bucks for the Goods Shop. These can be found in your birthday email and can be used anytime within the year. We’d love to celebrate YOU every single year, so look forward to fresh Birthday Bucks each year on your special day!
Herbal Academy newsletter subscribers are automatically enrolled into the Rewards Program upon making their first purchase of $1 or more. However, if you have updated your email preferences or have previously unsubscribed from receiving our newsletters, you will need to RESUBSCRIBE with the email address used on your Herbal Academy student account in order to receive your reward emails.
If you would like to earn Birthday Bucks on your birthday, you will also need to RESUBSCRIBE via the form at the top of this page with the email address used on your Herbal Academy student account in order to receive your reward emails.
This Rewards Program is email-based, and we need your permission to send you all of the relevant details.
Our Rewards Program includes special gifts on your birthday (varied by tier status). Providing your date of birth is not mandatory to participate in the Rewards Program, but you won’t receive your Goods Shop Birthday Bucks (Tiers 2 – 5) and birthday gifts (Tiers 4 – 5) if you choose not to provide it. You can add your birthday using the form at the top of this page, and we’ll match it to your account automatically.
Remember: It’s important that your Rewards email address matches the email address that you used to create your student account.
Your rewards tier status is determined by how much you have spent with Herbal Academy since January 1, 2025. As you continue on with your herbal studies, you’ll advance through the tiers and gain bigger perks. On top of that, we also honor our longtime students with various gifts shared throughout our rewards emails, so look forward to fun herbal surprises entering your inbox!
Please note: If you are on a payment plan for your current course enrollment, you will enter into the tier that aligns with the payments you’ve made to date. As you continue to make your payments, you will advance through the tiers accordingly.
