To remain Dating status, a customer must accumulate $100 of dollar spend during the calendar year.  Each new calendar year requires the customer to spend $100 on awkwardessentials.com to retain Dating status for another calendar year. If a customer does not spend $100, the customer will revert to Just Talking Status, losing Dating benefits. In order for the customer to regain Dating status, the customer must make a purchase of $100 or more.
  • Committed: If a customer’s account accumulates two hundred dollars of total spend on awkwardessentials.com, the customer will receive Committed status until December 31, 2021, at which point account status will be implemented on a calendar year basis.
