If you're a frequent shopper, you're probably already enjoying those sweet deals. But what if I told you there's a way to maximize your savings and get rewarded for every single purchase? That's where the TJX Rewards program comes in!
Are you ready to turn your T.J. Maxx shopping trips into even more rewarding experiences? Let's dive in and get you signed up for the TJX Rewards program!
Unlocking the World of TJX Rewards: A Step-by-Step Guide
It's important to understand that the primary way to sign up for TJX Rewards and truly maximize your benefits is by applying for the TJX Rewards Credit Card. While there isn't a general "loyalty program" independent of the credit card, the credit card itself is your gateway to earning points and receiving exclusive perks across the TJX family of stores (T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, and Homesense).
There are two main versions of the TJX Rewards Credit Card: the TJX Rewards Credit Card (a store card) and the TJX Rewards Platinum Mastercard (which can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted). You apply for one, and based on your creditworthiness, you'll be approved for the appropriate card. Both offer fantastic rewards at TJX stores!
Here's your comprehensive guide to signing up:
Step 1: Decide How You Want to Apply
This is your first crucial decision! You have a couple of convenient options:
In-Store Application: If you're already at your favorite T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods store, you can easily apply at the checkout counter. A friendly associate will guide you through the process. This can be a great option if you have questions on the spot.
Online Application: Prefer to do things from the comfort of your home? You can apply directly on the T.J. Maxx website (or Marshalls, HomeGoods, etc.) or specifically on the TJX Rewards website. This offers convenience and allows you to take your time.
Pro-Tip: While applying online, you might even have the option to pre-qualify without impacting your credit score. This gives you an idea of your approval chances before a hard inquiry is made.
Step 2: Initiating Your Application
Let's break down the application process for each method:
Sub-heading: Applying In-Store
Inform the Associate: When you're ready to check out, simply tell the cashier that you're interested in applying for the TJX Rewards Credit Card.
Provide Information: The associate will ask for necessary personal details such as your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and income information. Be prepared to have a valid photo ID with you.
Review and Sign: Carefully read through the application terms and conditions. Once you understand everything, you'll sign electronically or physically.
Instant Decision (Often!): In many cases, you'll receive an instant decision on your application. If approved, you might even get a temporary card number for immediate use and enjoy your 10% off your first purchase right then and there! Your physical card will arrive in 7-10 business days.

Step 3: Registering Your Account Online (Crucial for Digital Rewards!)
Once you're approved for the TJX Rewards Credit Card, you'll want to register your account online. This step is essential for managing your rewards, paying your bill, and accessing digital certificates.
Visit tjxrewards.com: This is the dedicated portal for managing your TJX Rewards Credit Card.

Step 4: Linking Your TJX Rewards Credit Card to Your Online Shopping Account
To seamlessly access your digital Rewards Certificates when shopping online or via the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods apps, you'll need to link your TJX Rewards Credit Card to your general shopping account on those websites.
Log in to Your Shopping Account: Go to tjmaxx.com (or marshalls.com, homegoods.com) and log in to your existing T.J. Maxx online shopping account. If you don't have one, create one first (usually a simple process of providing email and creating a password).
Navigate to "My Account" or "Rewards": Once logged in, look for a section like "My Account" or "Rewards" on the website.
Find "Link My Card": Within this section, you should see an option to "Link My Card" or "Link TJX Rewards Credit Card."
Enter TJX Rewards Credit Card Credentials: You'll be prompted to enter the User ID and password you created in Step 3 for your tjxrewards.com account. This connects your credit card account to your shopping account.
Confirmation: Once successfully linked, you'll receive a confirmation message. Now, your earned Rewards Certificates will automatically appear in your payment options during online checkout, usually within 48 hours of earning them!
Step 5: Start Earning and Redeeming Rewards!
