World Market Explorer Program - Rules

Become a Member

The World Market Explorer program ("membership") is open to U.S. residents (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. territories) at least 18 years of age, who provide and maintain a working email address and complete an enrollment profile.  Communications about the program, including changes, will be sent by email or posted at WorldMarketExplorer.com.  By joining the program, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, and by using this program you agree to the rules of the program.  If you are between 18 and the age of majority (18 or 19 years old, depending on where you live), you agree that you have obtained permission from your parent or legal guardian to be a member of the program.  Your membership is non-transferable and is subject to present and future program rules.  Your membership is valid only at participating World Market retail store locations.  Membership begins when you enroll at WorldMarketExplorer.com.

World Market Explorer Program Rules are subject to change without advance notice.  Cost Plus World Market may, at any time, terminate or modify the World Market Explorer program by posting the changes at WorldMarketExplorer.com.

Getting Rewards

Once you become a member, we will track your purchases and we will maintain a balance of your purchase activity ("Activity Balance").  Your Activity Balance will determine your eligibility for rewards.  We may offer you rewards based on your Activity Balance from time to time.  You must enter your World Market Explorer Member ID at the time of purchase, to receive credit for purchases.

Online Purchases

Purchases at the WorldMarket.com website do not qualify for World Market Explorer Rewards and do not count toward your Activity Balance.

Reward Coupons

Reward Coupons are issued based solely on your Activity Balance and are not transferable and may only be used by the member to whom they are issued.  Reward Coupons can be printed at WorldMarketExplorer.com approximately 1 week after reaching a reward threshold on your Activity Balance.  Unless otherwise noted on the Reward Coupon, each Reward Coupon will expire if not redeemed within 90 days from the date it is issued.  Reward Coupons have no cash value and accordingly no cash will be given for Reward Coupon redemption.  Reward Coupons may be used only once.  You must enter your World Market Explorer Member ID at the time of purchase, to receive credit for purchases.

Non-Qualifying Redemptions

Reward Coupons may not be redeemed for prior purchases, purchase of World Market Gift Cards, purchases made for resale, or for sales tax.  Other exclusions may apply as posted at WorldMarketExplorer.com from time to time.  You must enter your World Market Explorer Member ID at the time of purchase, to receive credit for purchases.

Rolling 12 month Program

Reward Coupons are issued on the basis of your Activity Balance during a 12-month period.  Activity Balances more than 12 months old expire and are no longer eligible for Rewards.

Membership Termination

World Market Explorer program members who do not provide a unique working email address will have their membership inactivated.  Email address changes can be made by selecting “My Profile” at WorldMarketExplorer.com.

You may cancel your membership at any time by notifying us at support@worldmarketexplorer.com.  Cancellation may take 2 to 4 weeks.  Upon cancellation your membership will be inactivated.  

Your membership will automatically expire on the last day of the 12th month of inactivity if you make no qualifying purchases within any continuous (rolling) 12-month period.  Your Activity Balance will be deactivated.

We will deduct the value corresponding with any return(s) of qualifying products from your Activity Balance and we may immediately cancel any or all outstanding Reward Coupons issued to you.  We may also terminate your membership.

World Market reserves the right to terminate your membership for any reason or no reason and at its sole discretion.
