Everything You Need to Know About Saving Money at World Market
If you’ve ever set foot in a World Market store, you know you can find everything from furniture for every room of your home to international food and drink favorites. All the variety makes this retailer a great place to shop when you want to treat yourself and the people you love. However, having the ability to pick up so many fun products during one shopping trip can result in some serious damage to your wallet. The good news is that saving money at World Market is easy!
From saving big as a member of the free World Market Rewards program to participating in the beloved World Market Scavenger Hunts, you can snag freebies while saving some serious money. Read on to learn tips for saving at World Market and make your money go further.
1. Join the Free World Market Rewards Program
Before you make a single purchase at this retailer, you need to sign up for the free World Market Rewards program. Once you’re a member, you’ll receive a welcome coupon for 15% off your first purchase.
This welcome offer is just the beginning, though! Members of World Market Rewards also enjoy the following benefits as members of the Explored Tier:
- 5% back rewards (five points for every dollar you spend)
- 10% off store pick-up orders
- A special birthday offer
Keep in mind that your rewards are valid for 60 days.
2. Consider Getting a World Market Credit Card
If you plan to be a regular at World Market, you should think about getting the store’s credit card. Cardholders will instantly be upgraded to the Premier Credit Card Tier of the World Market Rewards program and enjoy special perks:
- 20% off your purchase when you apply for the card and 20% off when approved
- 10% back in rewards (10 points for every dollar you spend)
- 15% off anniversary offer
- 10% off store pick-up orders
- A special birthday offer
Unlike the Explorer Tier of the rewards program, cardholders have 120 days to use their World Market Rewards.
3. Register for World Market Text Rewards
You might think you get enough texts, but the messages from World Market are worth receiving (especially if you like freebies and coupons). Here’s a look at what you get when you sign up for the retailer’s texts:
- A discount when you first opt-in
- World Market Rewards delivered right to your phone
- Mobile-exclusive offers, including freebies like a scones baking mix I received
- Alerts about sales and brand events.
You also can view all your available rewards at any time by texting COUPONS to 95730.
If you’re ready to sign up, you can do so when you become a World Market Rewards member or just text REWARDS to 95730. It couldn’t be easier!
4. Understand the Basics of World Market Clearance
While World Market doesn’t have a dedicated clearance section, the retailer still offers plenty of deeply discounted items spread throughout the store.
How do you know if something is on clearance? Simply look for red or orange tags. Seeing that the item’s price ends in 8 is another clue. Finding World Market’s clearance items is even easier online. All you have to do is shop in the dedicated online clearance area of the website.
If you’re wondering how much you can save with World Market clearance, most items drop to 50% off. However, we’ve seen holiday clearance drop to as low as 80-90% off. Additionally, foods that are approaching their expiration date get marked down as low as 55% off.
5. Take Advantage of the Price Adjustment Policy
Price adjustments are an underutilized way to save when you see that an item goes on sale after you’ve already purchased it. While not all retailers have this type of policy, World Market does.
You can get a price adjustment from World Market if the price of an item drops within 10 days of your original purchase. However, this policy does not apply to clearance or holiday items.
6. Get to Know the Refund Policy
Sometimes, a purchase just doesn’t work out. Whether it’s buyer’s remorse or you didn’t like the item you picked up, World Market allows you to return items within 60 days of purchase (with a few exceptions).
You’ll need to bring proof of purchase to receive a cash refund. Otherwise, the store will give you store credit for the item’s lowest selling price within the past 60 days.
7. Know to Select In-Store Pickup
World Market’s free shipping minimum is $49, but exclusions and surcharges do apply. If it looks like you’ll have to pay for shipping, selecting in-store pickup provides a way to avoid paying a shipping fee.
Just select “in-store pickup” for your local store and arrive to retrieve your order when it’s ready. If you’re a member, in-store pickup provides an additional way to save because you’ll get 10% off when you select this option.
8. Take Part in a World Market Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger hunts aren’t just for kids! World Market hosts seasonal scavenger hunts that allow shoppers to find special rewards in stores.
For Easter 2025, World Market hosted a Golden Egg Scavenger Hunt between Mar. 31 and Apr. 20. Every day, each location hid eight Golden Egg game pieces throughout the store and encouraged shoppers to find them using the clues provided online and in stores. The lucky daily winners received a reward ranging from $20 to $100!
With all these tips for saving at World Market, you can feel confident that you get the biggest bang for your buck during every shopping trip!
