Frequently Asked Questions
How do I join?
You can join The U Collective by purchasing either a 6-Month or 12-Month Membership from the shop page, product pages or side cart. The Membership must be added to an order with products (it cannot be purchased on its own).
Once you check out, your Membership benefits are activated immediately — including 15% off and your welcome gift.
Will my 15% member discount be applied immediately?
Yes! If you purchase a 6-Month or 12-Month membership as part of your order, the 15% discount applies instantly on all eligible products in that order.
Will my 15% member-discount apply on duos and kits?
Your membership gives you a flat 15% off on all full-price products.
- If a product or kit is already discounted less than 15% (e.g., 10% off), your price will be adjusted so you still get 15% off in total.
- If a product or kit is already at 15% off or more, no extra member discount will apply.
However, you’ll still enjoy all the other perks - welcome and birthday gifts, Melanin Miles, VIP experiences, and more - even when shopping discounted products

How can I redeem Melanin Miles?
Discount Rewards:
Redeem 100 Miles = KSh 5. You’ll see a nudge in your side cart. Click View Cart to apply your discount before checkout.
Member-Only Rewards:
Use your Miles for exclusive merch, VIP experiences, events, and free products. These can be redeemed directly from your Membership page.
How do I check how much I have earned or redeemed?
You can view your Melanin Miles balance in two places:
On your Membership Page
In the 'Earn Now' widget on left bottom
To see your full value, use the U Collective Value Calculator on your Membership Page. It shows how much you’ve saved, redeemed, and tracks the 3–4X returns you made.
How do I get the Welcome gift?
Every member receives a Welcome Gift automatically when they join or renew their membership — for both 6-Month and 12-Month plans.
How do I get my Birthday gifts?
To receive your birthday Miles, we must have your birthday in our system. You can provide your birthday in one of three ways:
- through the birthday banner on this page above.
- via the Earn Now widget.
- by submitting your birthday through a post-purchase email we send.
Once your birthday is recorded, we’ll automatically credit your account with 10,000 Melanin Miles on the first day of your birthday month to celebrate! You’ll receive an email letting you know your Miles have been added and they can be used anytime to shop your favorite products — and you’ll continue to enjoy your 15% member discount on all orders as usual.
What are Member-only VIP Experiences?
A curated world of exclusive perks that members can unlock with Melanin Miles. Experiences include merch, events, masterclasses, and more — designed to bring the Uncover lifestyle to life.
How will I know about new VIP Experiences or perks?
We refresh the list of perks monthly and announce updates via email and social media, so you’ll always know what’s new and exciting to unlock.
Can I combine my membership with other discounts or promo codes?
Membership discounts (15%) cannot be combined with other promotional codes, but you can still earn and redeem Melanin Miles on all purchases.
What happens if I cancel my membership?
Membership is a one-time fee and cannot be canceled or refunded. Once you join, all your benefits — including discounts, Melanin Miles earnings, and VIP experiences — are active for the full duration of your selected membership pack.
Can I upgrade from a 6-Month to 12-Month membership?
Yes! Contact customer support to upgrade. Your existing perks and points will carry over and the 12-Month membership will start fresh for a full year from the date of upgrade.
How do I avail Priority WhatsApp Support?
