Bargain Bucks are reward points for Bargain Club members. They are not cash or a gift certificate, and they stay with your account. Bargain Bucks rewards are coming soon.

How do I use my Bargain Bucks?

Once Bargain Bucks rewards launch, use them at checkout, like a coupon in your cart, or ask staff at the register. Your cart always shows your Bargain Bucks balance, even when it is zero, and nothing is applied unless you choose to apply it.

Do Bargain Bucks expire?

Yes. Once rewards launch, each Bargain Buck expires 12 months after you earn it. Your account shows the expiration dates. Starting 9 months after you earn them, your rewards page shows them as expiring soon.

How does the In-Line Giveaway work?

The In-Line Giveaway is coming soon. When it starts: in line before opening? Check in on your phone at the store to enter. Check-in is free and uses your phone location only with your permission, just to confirm you are at the store. If you cannot or do not want to share your location, staff can check you in at the store. One entry per person. No purchase needed. Open to New York residents 18 or older, at What-A-Bargain stores in New York only. Void where prohibited.

Do I have to share anything to enter?

No. Sharing is always optional and never adds entries or improves your odds in the main giveaway. Once share rewards launch, if you choose to share: Facebook and Instagram shares count toward the share milestone badge (by default every 5 shares), and that badge comes with bonus Bargain Bucks. Shares on other allowed channels can earn Bargain Bucks per share (by default $1 per share, up to a daily limit), and each of their share milestones unlocks a badge or an entry in a separate Side Drawing for a Bargain Bucks bonus. Amounts are as posted in store and online. Rewarded shares come prefilled with a note at the start that you get Bargain Bucks for sharing (#ad); keep the note in your post to get the reward. TikTok shares do not count yet.

Giveaway rules are still being finalized. Each giveaway will have its own official rules, and those official rules govern.
