Tuesday Tip: Points??

Every week I have at least one person call or email me and ask, “How many points do I have? How do I used the points on my invoice?” Typically if I am asked the same question three times, I write a blog. I am a little late to writing this one!

 

First, what are points? You earn one point for every dollar you spend with us. BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.  One point = one penny.

So first, you will need to make an account. To do that you will click the words LOGIN found at the top of our website, when you are on a computer.

If you are on your phone, you’ll need to click on the three little bars in the upper left hand side of your phone screen found on any page of our website. The rest of the instructions will be the same even on the mobile website.

We can not track your purchases unless you have an account with us. So you will be required to share your email.

 

 

When you are signed in you can click on the words, My Account. The words are circled in red in the above image.

Once you have clicked that you will see the message board shown below. I have circled the box that says Points. You would click that to see how many points you have.

Again, each point is worth ONE PENNY. So if you have 55 points you have .55CENTS.

 

 

One point = One PENNY

 

Next you will put the items you want to purchase in your cart. Once you are done shopping, head on over to your cart.

At the very top of the screen will be the information you are looking for. In the above image, the green arrow is pointing to the number of points you have. The red arrow is pointing at the box you need to click to apply the points.

If you want to use the points on this specific invoice you will click the box that says APPLY DISCOUNT. The red arrow is pointing at the box you will click when in your own cart. 

**All images shown here are from MY account. These are my amount of points. Yours will be different.

 

When you click that box then another window will pop up (sometimes) and you will need to click the OK button to proceed. As you can see in the above image, the box is asking how many of your points you would like to apply. You can change that number if you wish.

The red arrow is pointing at the OK button in the above image.

In this example I will be applying 2,485 points which equals a $24.85 discount.

 

I have circled where it shows the points applied to the cart totals.

You can see the subtotal of $850. Then, the “points redemption” is -$24.85. The shipping is shown, then at the bottom is the total, minus my points!

(I did take my address out of this example and wrote in that spot, “Your address will be here.”)

Now you will simply go on to pay and your points will reset to 0, if you choose to use them all. 

 

Have a gift card? Keep reading!

 

 

The above image shows how you will use a gift card/coupon code. It’s kind of hidden up there at the top when you are in the “Checkout Details.”

The brown words are the link. The red arrow points at the words you will click to enter a gift card code.

Below is what happens when you click that link:

 

Now you can type the gift certificate code into the box, then click the box that says APPLY GIFT CARD. The amount will be applied to your total in your cart.

 

We want to thank you for joining our community, making an account and sharing your email with us.

Have fun accumulating points!!!
