short answer
1,000 LEGO Insiders points are worth about $7.69 in the US, £6.25 in the UK, €6.67 in the eurozone, C$10.00 in Canada and A$11.11 in Australia. In the US, 650 points give $5 off, which works out to roughly 130 points per $1. Points are not cash: they are used for discounts and rewards.
LEGO VIP is now called LEGO Insiders, but plenty of people still say "VIP points". Either way, these are the numbers behind the calculator on this site and where they come from.
What points are worth, by region
| Region | Minimum redemption | Points per 1 unit | 1,000 points | You earn per 1 spent |
|---|
| US | 650 points = $5.00 | 130 | $7.69 | 6.5 points |
| UK | 800 points = £5.00 | 160 | £6.25 | 8 points |
| Eurozone | 750 points = €5.00 | 150 | €6.67 | 7.5 points |
| Canada | 500 points = C$5.00 | 100 | C$10.00 | 5 points |
| Australia | 675 points = A$7.50 | 90 | A$11.11 | 4.5 points |
The minimum redemption and the points earned per unit of currency come straight from LEGO's help pages. The "points per 1 unit" column is the minimum divided by its value (for example 650 ÷ $5 = 130 points per dollar). The calculator on this site uses that ratio for every amount, so treat figures for large balances as a close estimate and check your cart on lego.com for the exact discount.
Earning and spending line up in every region: 6.5 ÷ 130 in the US, 8 ÷ 160 in the UK, 7.5 ÷ 150 in the eurozone, 5 ÷ 100 in Canada and 4.5 ÷ 90 in Australia all come out at 5%. In other words, a purchase gives you about 5% back in points.
Points under the minimum can't be used yet
If you have 400 points, the math says they are worth about $3 in the US. But the smallest discount LEGO offers there is $5 for 650 points, so those 400 points do nothing until you earn 250 more. The same applies in every region, using the minimums in the table above.
Use the points calculator to see the value in your own currency, or open a ready-made page such as 650 points, 1,000 points, 5,000 points or 10,000 points.
What points can be used for
LEGO's help pages list these uses:
- Discounts on future purchases, online and in store (in a store you need your digital Insiders card).
- Exclusive rewards: exclusive sets and items, digital products such as alternative building instructions and coloring pages, event tickets and member-only sweepstakes.
Discounts and physical rewards are claimed with promo codes, which are valid for 60 days. You can only add one reward per order, and your account has to match the regional LEGO.com site you are shopping on. If a redemption fails, see LEGO points won't redeem? 7 common issues.
Getting more out of your points
- Register your sets. Each registered set earns a flat 20 points, which is only a few cents, but it adds up if you own many sets. How to register a set.
- Watch for double points. LEGO says it sometimes offers double points on purchases. Details are announced on LEGO.com, see Does LEGO offer more VIP points?.
- Points are based on what you pay. When an order is discounted, you earn points on the amount actually paid.
- Keep the account active. Points expire after 18 months without earning or redeeming. How the expiry rule works.
What doesn't earn or redeem points
Purchases at other retailers don't count, and neither do LEGO Certified Stores (the ones marked with a yellow flag). Buying a gift card earns no points, but paying with a gift card does. LEGO's terms were also updated in 2026 for accounts used for professional reselling, so read the current Insiders terms if that applies to you.
