Hi Pattie – Thank you for asking! We are actually working to put some fun new rewards together and expect them to be available soon.

Hero Arts,

Will you be adding any more products to redeem with points?
Paper? Stencils, tools? In the beginning of this program there were many choices, not at present.
There has not been many choices lately and I would like to redeem my many points. Thank you.
