Earn Denarii. Unlock rewards. Get more from every Iron Age order.
The Imperator Program is Iron Age’s rewards program for loyal customers. Members earn Denarii through purchases and select rewards actions, then redeem them for discounts, free picks, mystery rewards, killswitches, exclusive items, and other perks.
It is free to join, easy to use, and built to give returning customers more value every time they come back.
How to Join
If you already have an Iron Age shop account, you can sign in and start using the program.
If you do not have an account yet, joining is free. Open the Rewards panel from the site menu, desktop rewards icon, or customer login area to create an account and start earning Denarii. The panel can be accessed here anytime too.
Once signed in, you can view your Denarii balance, see available ways to earn, and redeem rewards.
How Denarii Work
Denarii are the points used inside the Imperator Program.
The main way to earn Denarii is by placing orders. Members earn 10 Denarii for every $1 spent on eligible Iron Age purchases. The more you shop, the more Denarii you collect toward future rewards.
Denarii can also be earned through other program actions such as creating an account, leaving reviews, adding your birthday, select social actions, uploading photos when available, and referring friends.
Your current earning options can always be viewed inside the Rewards panel.
Ways to Earn Denarii
Place Orders
Earn Denarii every time you shop. Picks, knobs, killswitches, accessories, and other eligible Iron Age items can all help build your rewards balance over time.
Create an Account
Join the Imperator Program for free and start earning. Once your account is active, you can track your Denarii, view rewards, and redeem directly through the Rewards panel.
Leave Reviews
Share your experience with Iron Age gear and earn Denarii through eligible review actions. Reviews also help other players choose the right picks, knobs, killswitches, and accessories for their setup.
Add Your Birthday
Add your birthday to receive a Denarii bonus when your day comes around. It is a simple way to get a little extra reward credit each year.
Complete Select Social Actions
Follow or interact with Iron Age through available social actions inside the Rewards panel. These options may change over time, so check the panel for current ways to earn.
Refer Friends
Share Iron Age with a friend. When a referred customer places their first order, they receive $15 off, and you receive $15 off as a thank-you.
How to Redeem Rewards
Denarii can be redeemed for several types of rewards, each giving you a different way to get more value from the Iron Age shop.
Dollar-Off Discounts
Use Denarii to take a set amount off your order. These are simple, flexible rewards that help lower the cost of your next pick, knob, killswitch, or accessory.
Percentage-Off Discounts
Percentage rewards are especially useful when placing a larger order or picking up multiple items. The more you add to your cart, the more value the reward can unlock.
Free Mystery Picks
Mystery Picks are pulled from a rotating mix of studio extras, limited runs, test pieces, leftover batches, B-stock, and other one-off picks from the Iron Age workshop. Some may be unusual, experimental, or from batches that are no longer available, making each one a surprise from the Iron Age vault.
Free Handcrafted Picks
Redeem Denarii for select handcrafted picks and add something new to your collection. These rewards are a great way to try a different material, shape, style, or design without paying full price.
Free Killswitches
Use Denarii toward select guitar killswitches and mod parts. These are perfect if you want to customize your guitar with a functional upgrade while putting your rewards to work.
Exclusive Imperator Reward Items
Some rewards are reserved specifically for Imperator members. These may include limited accessories, special reward products, or items that are not always available through the main shop.
How to Claim a Reward
To redeem your Denarii:
- Open the Rewards panel.
- Sign in to your account.
- Choose the reward you want.
- Redeem your Denarii to generate a reward code.
- Add any eligible items to your cart.
- Apply the reward code at checkout.
Only one reward or discount code can be used per order. Shipping fees may still apply.
Imperator Exclusives
Some reward products live on the Imperator Exclusives page for easy access. These items are intended for rewards redemptions and may require a reward code from the Rewards panel.
If you are claiming an exclusive reward item, redeem the reward first, copy the code, add the item to your cart, and apply the code at checkout.
Referral Rewards
Imperator members can share their referral link with friends. When a new customer uses your referral and places their first order, they receive $15 off, and you receive $15 off as a reward.
Your referral link can be found inside the Rewards panel at the bottom when you are signed in.
Start Earning
Open the Rewards panel, sign in or create an account, and start earning Denarii toward discounts, free picks, mystery rewards, killswitches, and exclusive Iron Age accessories.
