Threads of Ayni is our way of honouring your support and weaving deeper connection through sacred exchange. It’s a points-based rewards program where you earn Ayni Points for actions like placing an order, referring a friend, or celebrating your birthday.

Ayni is a Quechua word that speaks to the principle of sacred reciprocity - the natural balance of giving and receiving that sustains life. In the Andean cosmovision, Ayni isn’t just a transaction, it’s a way of being in relationship with the Earth, our ancestors, and each other.
Through Threads of Ayni, we honour this principle by creating a living circle of exchange between KINTU, our community, and the ancient traditions we carry forward.

It’s free and easy. Just create an account or log in to your KINTU account to start earning Ayni Points right away.

You’ll earn Ayni Points when you make a purchase, follow us on Instagram, celebrate your birthday, or refer a friend (new customers only). See the full list above.

You can exchange your points for discounts on future orders and other ritual rewards. We’ll be adding more options soon as the program evolves.

Use your unique referral link found in your account. When someone new to KINTU shops through your link and spends $50 or more, they’ll receive $15 off their first order - and you’ll earn 200 Ayni Points as a thank-you.

No, only one discount code can be applied per order. If you’ve redeemed a reward with your Ayni Points, that will count as your discount.

To honour the balance of giving and receiving, Ayni Points can be redeemed on orders of $60 or more.
This allows us to continue working with artisans and keep the spirit of the program sustainable and generous for everyone.

No - your Ayni Points are yours to keep.

Not at all. Keep showing up, sharing, and receiving. There's no cap to the love or the rewards.

Just log in to your KINTU account and click on the “Ayni Points” tab to view your balance and redeem your rewards.

Some points (especially referral rewards) may take a little time to verify. If something seems off, feel free to reach out and we’ll look into it with care.
