A. Use your mobile phone to text JOINGOODWILLMN to 757575 before bringing your items to the register to checkout. Goodwill store associates cannot complete the VIP opt-in process for customers at the register.

A. All previous Goodwill VIPs need to re-enroll to access new features and register with our system to start earning points on purchases. 

A. One dollar equals one rewards point.  Once you earn 33 points, you will receive $3 off your purchase. Points can only be redeemed in $3 increments (e.g., 33 points = $3, 66 points = $6). Partial redemptions like 44 points for $4 aren’t available.

A. No – you earn them, you keep them! Best of all, purchases at your neighborhood Goodwill support our job training programs and people in our community. For example, $100 can cover transportation for a program participant to attend job training and $150 can provide work boots for someone starting a new job after they graduate from our construction training.

A. If a VIP member returns or exchanges purchased items, the points earned by those items will be deducted from the member's point total. Please see full terms and conditions for details.

A. For detailed information, please review our Terms and Conditions here.

A. Your purchases help support  our programs that connect people to careers. We think that should be rewarded! VIP customers can now earn 1 point for $1 spent, unlocking new rewards to thank you for shopping at Goodwill.

A. Goodwill VIP rewards are valid only at participating Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota retail locations. Points cannot be redeemed at Goodwill Outlets, Wholesale or shopgoodwill.com.

A. When you checkout, tell the cashier you are a Goodwill VIP and provide your cell phone number to earn points on your purchase, redeem a promotion and/or activate your rewards.

A. Rewards earned in a transaction are applied to a future transaction. Rewards cannot be applied towards sales tax or given as cash back.

Second, for Android users, if there’s an exclamation point error next to your text message, this is a mobile plan/phone setting issue and you’ll need contact your cell phone carrier. Third, make sure you have good network connection and that your cell phone isn’t on “roaming” mode. If these troubleshooting tips don’t resolve the issue, please contact your cell phone carrier for further assistance.
