Getting Rewards

You will not receive Rewards until you have completed an enrollment profile including a member ID, and working email address and mailing address. Once you become a member, we will track your purchases and we will maintain a balance of your purchase activity ("Activity Balance"). The Member enrollment process starts with the store sign up. You must complete your profile at WorldMarketExplorer.com in order to receive credit for your purchases. You have a 10-day grace period to complete your profile online if you sign up at a store, in order to receive credit for purchases from your sign-up date. You must enter your World Market Explorer member ID at the time of purchase to receive credit for purchases. Your Activity Balance will determine your eligibility for Rewards. Your Activity Balance is based on your total qualifying merchandise purchases, less all discounts, coupons, price reductions, Reward redemptions and returns. Your Activity Balance does not include sales taxes, shipping charges, or alcoholic beverage, kitchen electric and gift card purchases. We may offer you Rewards based on your Activity Balance from time to time.

Getting Coffee Rewards

Your Activity Balance will show your purchases of World Market 12-oz. coffee made using your World Market Explorer member ID. When your Activity Balance reaches six bags of World Market 12-oz coffee, you will receive notification via email that you have qualified for a Reward of one free 12-oz bag of World Market coffee. A Coffee Reward expires 60 days from the date it is issued. Limit one (1) Coffee Reward per customer per visit. You can review your Coffee Reward status at WorldMarketExplorer.com.
