REWARDS. HOW CAN I ACCESS LOVETHINK?

Users have to register for LoveThink before they can access the site.

You can register at www.lovethink.co.uk. It’ll only take a few minutes.

Once registered, you’ll have access to product specs, education games, quizzes, deal sheets and other useful info about Lenovo’s mid-range products. But you won’t have access to the incentive side of the portal. Yet. How you do that is answered next…

HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR THE FREE OF TAX INCENTIVE? Before you can earn points – and rewards – for selling Lenovo’s mid-range products, first you have to opt in to getting your rewards free of tax.

So after you’ve registered, go to the ‘Incentive’ tab on the LoveThink portal. Click ‘opt in’, then just pick your tax bracket from the drop down list.

This information is completely confidential. HMRC needs to know it so we can pay the tax on your rewards, so you don’t have to.

Ready to opt in? Just visit www.lovethink.co.uk/incentive

GOT ANOTHER QUESTION? If you need to know more, or want to check out Lenovo LoveThink for yourself, please visit www.lovethink.co.uk
