When starting JOURNEY, Footprints are not awarded retroactively, so all members start with 0 Footprints in their balance.
However, your purchase history does count: the level at which you start your JOURNEY is determined by all your previous purchases at FOOTDISTRICT.
This means that, even though you start with 0 Footprints, you can begin your JOURNEY at a higher stage and enjoy the benefits associated with it from the very beginning, thanks to everything you have already experienced with FOOTDISTRICT.
From now on, every new purchase will allow you to earn Footprints and continue progressing, with the opportunity to unlock more benefits as you move forward.
