To maintain your status, make sure you meet the minimum net purchase balance amount for your status by December 31 of any given year. The net purchase balance is the purchase amount after returns, discounts, taxes and any amounts redeemed in Laureldale's Notes or Laureldale's Gift Cards have been deducted. Pay close attention to these items that are deducted from the total spend amount as they will impact whether you meet your minimum spending thresholds. For example, if you have met the Pragmatic Idealist minimum spend by reaching a net purchase balance of $1800 and then you return $500 in merchandise, your net purchase balance would be $1300. If you have not made additional qualifying purchases that bring your net purchase balance above $1,500, you will move down to Dedicated Partner at the end of the calendar year.
