Wayfair

A new Wayfair Rewards program launched today, offering yet another way to save on the retailer’s expansive selection of home upgrades. The new membership program aims to attract and retain customers, and while it’s $29 per year, a little number-crunching will help you figure out if it’s worth it for you. Spoiler: It is!

Wayfair's new rewards program offers 5% back on all purchases alongside other perks like free shipping on every order. There's exclusive access to member-only sales too.

Here’s how the new Wayfair Rewards membership program works. Customers sign up for $29 per year, and in exchange, they’ll get 5% back in rewards points at Wayfair and its other companies: Perigold, Joss & Main and Birch Lane.

Besides straight-up discounts, Wayfair Rewards members also get free shipping — no matter whether you’re buying a spatula or sofa. You’ll get early access for big sale events like Way Day, and the company says there will occasionally be members-only sales.

Sometimes there will also be bonus offers, like double the points. Right now, for example, you’ll get 10% back in rewards at Wayfair instead of the standard 5% to celebrate the program’s launch. You also won’t have to worry about being rushed to use points within a certain deadline, as the rewards never expire.

The program will be worth it if you plan to spend at least $580 between shopping and the original cost of shipping. That makes it ideal for people who are outfitting a new home, planning to put a lot of money down on a big purchase or about to start a renovation or upgrade project. Buying a couch right away could justify the membership from day one, with any extra purchases over the next year just adding value on top.

It’s the first time the company has had a rewards system since 2020. Plus, if you’re a Wayfair credit card member you’ll get free membership in the Rewards program — and generally get 7% back in rewards — so don’t forget to sign up.
