About a year ago, there were rumors floating around that Goodwill was working on some kind of rewards program. As a frequent shopper, I was fully on board with that idea. I even wrote a whole blog about it because, frankly, if there’s a way to earn more perks for my thrift habit, I deserve them, am I right?

But then… radio silence.

I checked back constantly like some kind of Goodwill stalker waiting for updates that never came. No launch date. No announcement. Just me and my growing collection of “unique finds” that totally do have a place in my house, thank you very much.

Well, friends - the wait is officially over.

Goodwill Minnesota finally pulled the trigger. The long-anticipated rewards program is here. It’s real. And yes, it might actually justify the number of times I’ve said, “It was only $5. How could I not buy it?”

Goodwill Just Made Thrifting In Minnesota Even Better. Here's just a taste of what to expect:

  • You’ll actually earn rewards every time you shop.

  • You’ll get exclusive promotions that regular shoppers don’t.

  • And yes… birthday surprises are involved.

I'm like a kid in a candy store right now. It's exactly what I anticipated all those months ago. Earning rewards for every dollar you spend.

How it works: Spend a dollar, get a point. You'll then get $3 off for every 33 points you get. Rack up those points and save even more money!
