Sol de Janeiro Sol Passport Rewards: Points, Tiers, Expiry and What Points Are Worth

Sol Passport Rewards is Sol de Janeiro's free points program for shoppers in the US. Members earn 1 to 2 points for every $1 spent on soldejaneiro.com, depending on one of four tiers (Sol Now Boarding, Sol One-Way, Sol Round-Trip and Sol Upgrade) that start at $75, $200 and $400 of spending a year. Points buy dollar-off codes ($10 off for 200 points), free products and entries in a quarterly sweepstakes, and they expire 12 months after a member's last activity.

How to join Sol Passport Rewards

You join by having a Sol de Janeiro account. Create an account or log in at soldejaneiro.com and open the Rewards dashboard, and you are a member. There is no separate sign-up form and no fee. The program is open only to customers in the United States, and each customer can hold one account.

A new account starts in Sol Now Boarding, the free tier, and earns 50 bonus points after its first purchase. Members also need to be subscribed to Sol de Janeiro's email list and to save a birthdate in their account to receive the birthday gift, covered below. Points can be earned and redeemed only on purchases made directly at soldejaneiro.com, so orders placed with other retailers don't count.

How you earn points

The ways to earn on the Sol Passport Rewards page as of 28 October 2026.

Review points arrive from the email sent within 30 days of an order shipping, and reviews left on the website don't earn. Points for follows, shares and similar actions can take up to 24 hours to show in the balance. A friend referred through Give $15, Get $15 gets $15 off a first order of $65 or more, and the member who referred them receives 300 points, which Sol de Janeiro values at $15. Referring yourself with a second account is not allowed.

What Sol Passport points are worth

Sol de Janeiro doesn't state an exchange rate, but the dollar-off rewards set one. Every step costs $0.05 per point: 200 points for $10, 400 for $20 and 1,000 for $50. The referral reward uses the same rate (300 points for $15).

Product rewards are priced more generously. We compared the points price with the US list price on soldejaneiro.com on 28 October 2026 for three of them: the Cheirosa 48 Jelly Perfume Balm costs 260 points against $26, the Body Badalada Moisture Melting Lotion (400ml) 280 points against $28, and the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Iconic Glass Edition 580 points against $58. All three work out at $0.10 per point (our arithmetic), double the dollar-off rate, so points spent on those products return 10% at Sol Now Boarding and Sol One-Way, 15% at Sol Round-Trip and 20% at Sol Upgrade.

A sweepstakes entry costs 75 points, which is $3.75 at the dollar-off rate (our arithmetic).

How to redeem points

Members redeem points on the Rewards page while logged in. Each redemption creates a promo code, which is stored in the account under Rewards History and applied at checkout. Codes don't expire. The balance sits below the order history in the account and on the right-hand side of the checkout page.

• Dollar-off rewards. $10 off needs 200 points and a purchase of at least $45. $20 off needs 400 points and $65. $50 off needs 1,000 points and $100.
• Complimentary products. Free products start at 120 points and rise to 580 points. Each product is open to a tier or higher: as of 28 October 2026 one item is open to all tiers, others to Sol One-Way or higher, Sol Round-Trip or higher, or Sol Upgrade only, and the top tier gets the largest items.
• Sweepstakes entries. 75 points buys one entry in a quarterly sweepstakes (see below).

Only one product reward can be used per order, and the points code can't be combined with other codes or offers, free shipping offers included. Points can be used on full-priced items only, and not on value-sized products, sets and bundles, or subscription orders. A code redeemed on an ineligible item isn't lost: it can be used on a later order that qualifies.

The quarterly sweepstakes

Sol Passport members can swap points for entries in a quarterly sweepstakes with a different prize each quarter. Entries cost 75 points and are open to every tier. Each quarter runs from the first to the last day of the calendar quarter, one winner is drawn about six days afterwards, and an account can hold at most 10 entries per quarter, so 750 points is the most that can be spent. Entrants must be 18 or older and live in the 50 US states or DC, and a free postal entry is available.

Status tiers and perks

The Sol Passport Perks table as of 28 October 2026.

Tier status runs on a 12-month cycle that starts the day a member reaches a tier, based on yearly spending. If spending falls short of the threshold within those 12 months, the tier resets. Sol de Janeiro doesn't publish whether shipping, tax or returned items count toward the spending total.

Birthday gift. Members at Sol One-Way and above who are subscribed to Sol de Janeiro's emails and have saved a birthdate in the Birthday Gift tile get an email on the morning of their birthday, usually between 9 am and 12 pm ET, with a promo code for a free 30ml Cheirosa perfume mist to add to the cart. Each member can claim one birthday gift a year. Sol Now Boarding members don't receive one.

The fine print

• Points expire after 12 months without activity. The terms count a purchase on soldejaneiro.com, receiving a perk or reward (a birthday reward doesn't count), redeeming points or coupons, and creating an account as activity. Each one resets the 12 months, and expiry can't be undone.
• Web only. Points are earned and redeemed only on soldejaneiro.com, not at retailers.
• The program can change. Sol de Janeiro can amend the program with at least 30 days' written notice to members.
• Exclusions. Redemption excludes value-sized products, sets and bundles, and subscription orders, and applies to full-priced items only. Recurring subscription orders still count toward the 2 and 6 order bonuses.
• Merging accounts. A customer with two accounts can ask Customer Experience to merge them, and only points earned through purchases transfer.
• Fraud. Sol de Janeiro can cancel accounts or orders it considers fraudulent or abusive, and can disable accounts suspected of abusing the referral program.

What stands out about Sol Passport Rewards

Status mostly changes the earn rate and the rewards menu. The jump from 1 to 2 points per $1 doubles the return on a dollar-off reward from 5% to 10%, and the top two tiers unlock larger products. A Sol Upgrade member earns 2 points per $1 and can choose from rewards of up to 580 points, which are closed to the lower tiers.

The product menu pays better than cash. Free products return about twice as much per point as dollar-off codes, so the program steers members toward product rewards rather than discount codes.

Tier welcome points reward the climb. Reaching Sol Round-Trip pays 100 points and reaching Sol Upgrade pays 300 points, which is $5 and $15 at the dollar-off rate (our arithmetic), so each step up carries an immediate payout.

Milestone bonuses reward habits. Three or five $50 orders and two or six subscription renewals each pay a lump sum of 100 to 300 points, so the program pays for repeat purchasing and for staying on Subscribe to Save.

Small balances have a use. The 75 point sweepstakes entry gives members who are far from a $10 reward something to spend points on.

What members should know going in:

• Free shipping is for standard shipping only, and only from Sol One-Way up.
• Expiry follows activity, not each point. Any qualifying activity resets the 12 months, so a member who buys at least once a year keeps their balance.
• Retail purchases don't count. Sol de Janeiro lists authorized retailers, and purchases there earn nothing.
• Sol de Janeiro doesn't publish how many members sit in each tier.

Is Sol Passport Rewards worth joining?

If you buy from soldejaneiro.com even once, yes: it's free, and the first purchase pays 50 points. An occasional buyer gets a point worth 5 cents, and should spend the balance on a product reward rather than a dollar-off code. A regular buyer who reaches $75 a year adds free US shipping, a birthday gift and early access, and at $200 earns 1.5 points per $1, so the tiers are worth reaching if you were already going to spend that much. A heavy buyer at Sol Upgrade earns up to 10% back on dollar-off rewards and up to 20% on the product rewards we priced, plus the holiday gift. If you buy Sol de Janeiro mainly at other retailers, the program offers you nothing, because only soldejaneiro.com purchases earn.

What Shopify brands can learn from Sol Passport Rewards

Sol Passport Rewards is built for brands whose customers buy small, repeat items, and several of its mechanics carry over:

1. Raise the earn rate by tier, and pay a welcome bonus for each step. One point per $1 becomes 2 at the top, and each tier hands over points the moment it is reached. In Mage, VIP tiers can carry points multipliers such as 1.5x, 2x or 3x, track progress on a calendar year, a rolling year or lifetime, and show a tier benefits table on the loyalty page.
2. Price product rewards richer than cash. Setting a free product at a better points-to-price ratio than a coupon moves members toward your catalog instead of a discount. Mage supports fixed-amount, percentage and free-product rewards, and flexible rewards that let customers slide points against a range.
3. Pay for the habit, not only the order. Rewards for five $50 orders or six subscription renewals mark a routine. In Mage, punch cards on higher plans pay a bonus after, for example, 2 orders in 30 days or 3 orders over $100, and subscription milestones award a one-time bonus when a renewal count is reached with a supported subscription app.
4. Let activity keep points alive. Expiry that resets when a customer buys or redeems keeps active members' balances intact and clears out dormant ones. Mage can expire points a set number of days after they are earned, or reset the clock on each purchase.

If you're building a points and tiers loyalty program on Shopify, Mage covers the structure above: points with fixed-amount and free-product rewards, VIP tiers with multipliers, punch cards, subscription milestones, configurable points expiry, referrals and birthday bonuses.

Does Sol de Janeiro give a birthday gift? Yes, to members at Sol One-Way and above who are subscribed to email and have saved a birthdate. A promo code for a free 30ml Cheirosa perfume mist arrives by email on the morning of the birthday. Sol Now Boarding members don't get one.

Can I earn Sol Passport points when I buy Sol de Janeiro at a retailer? No. Points are earned and redeemed only on purchases made at soldejaneiro.com.

Can I use points on a subscription order? No. Points can't be redeemed on subscription orders, but recurring orders count toward the bonuses of 100 points after 2 orders and 300 points after 6.
