12 Sep Thrift Store Rewards Cards
Last year I told you guys about the new Goodwill Customer Rewards Card. It’s an awesome piece of plastic that allows you to earn while you shop. All branches of Goodwill are different so the actual rewards may vary, but here in the New York, New Jersey area, when you rack up 100 points {i.e. spend $100}, you earn a $10 off coupon. You simply hand the card to the cashier every time you shop and your points are tallied.
I recently redeemed my $10 off coupon and snagged a great pair of flats from one of my favorite Goodwill locations {220 East 23rd St.}. They were only $10 so I walked away with a pair of Sam Edelman flats for free, these clive ballerina flats originally retailed for $134.
To sign up for a Goodwill Rewards Card, visit your local store or their website {each region has a different form}. And this program isn’t just limited to Goodwill.
Thrift stores across the nation, including chains like Savers and B-Thrifty have rewards programs or VIP cards where you can earn rewards, discounts or coupons. If you frequently visit a chain, you’ll want to sign up for this asap. Although thrift stores are already affordable, you can’t beat savings on top of savings.

Posted at 19:36h, 13 SeptemberYou know what, you’re right. Goodwill, as much as I love them, doesn’t really advertise the rewards card and they totally should. It’s a great way to save even more money!

Posted at 14:50h, 15 SeptemberIs there a way to find the best thrift stores in your city? I live in Tampa and would love to be able to find the best spots to shop.

Posted at 15:26h, 15 SeptemberI suggest looking for large chains like Goodwill and Salvation Army (just google them and enter your zip code to find a location near you). Also, you should check out The Thrift Shopper , they also have a directory of thrift stores in your area, as well as reviews of them.

Posted at 14:09h, 19 SeptemberWow! Awesome deal on those shoes. I will have to check with my Goodwill store as I have been a regular customer for many years now and have never heard of them having a rewards card. I wonder if it is only for the larger stores.

Posted at 15:07h, 19 SeptemberSo dissappointed, the Asheville N.C. stores do not offer the rewards card and don’t plan on doing so.

Posted at 03:18h, 21 SeptemberOh, darn. Maybe if you write/tweet your local Goodwill you can put some friendly pressure on them to bring the card to your area 🙂

Posted at 11:56h, 25 MarchHi Claudia!
It’s really as simple as asking, either the other shoppers who have coupons (can you tell me where you got those?) or finding an employee to ask if the store has any of those perks and how you can sign up.
