Earth Points are primarily intended to encourage environmentally responsible actions while rewarding future purchases.
18. How many Earth Points can I earn and accumulate?
There is no fixed limit on the number of Earth Points you can earn or accumulate. Earth Points are earned through eligible purchases, and the value of your purchases determines the number of Earth Points you receive.
You may choose to redeem your Earth Points immediately or accumulate them over time. For example, if you accumulate 10,000 Earth Points and purchase a product worth ₹10,500, you can redeem all 10,000 Earth Points and pay only ₹500 to take the product home.
19. What is Akshaya Patra Wallet?
The term Akshaya Patra is derived from the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. In Sanskrit, Akshaya means inexhaustible or never-ending,and Patra means a vessel or container. Together, Akshaya Patra means "the inexhaustible vessel," symbolising abundance and continuous giving.
Inspired by this symbolism, Buddy Earth's Akshaya Patra Wallet truly lives up to its name. Even when your Redeemable Earth Points are fully redeemed, your wallet remains active and receives fresh Earth Points, making your future purchases more rewarding. In that sense, your wallet is never truly empty or exhausted. Hence, it is aptly named the Akshaya Patra Wallet.
