Ready to dive into the world of amazing deals and even more savings? If you're a fan of the thrill of the hunt at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, and HomeSense, then understanding the TJX Rewards program is your ticket to maximizing your shopping potential. It's not just about finding that perfect hidden gem; it's about getting rewarded for every fabulous find! Let's break down exactly how it all works, step by step.
The Secret to More Savings: How TJX Rewards Work
The TJX Rewards program is primarily built around its co-branded credit cards: the TJX Rewards Credit Card and the TJX Rewards Platinum Mastercard®. These cards are your gateway to earning points on your purchases, which then convert into valuable Rewards Certificates you can use across the family of TJX stores.

| How Does Tj Maxx Rewards Work |
Step 1: Are You Ready to Get Rewarded? Choosing Your TJX Rewards Card
Before you can start accumulating points, you need to decide which TJX Rewards card is right for you. There are two main options, each with its own advantages:
Sub-heading: The TJX Rewards Credit Card (Store Card)
This card is perfect if your shopping primarily revolves around the TJX family of stores. It's a closed-loop credit card, meaning it can only be used at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, and HomeSense locations (both in-store and online).
Key Benefits:
5 points per $1 spent at all TJX family of stores. This translates to a 5% back in rewards, which is quite generous for a store card!
No annual fee.
A 10% off your first purchase welcome offer when you're approved (conditions apply, often for in-store use or specific online application).
Sub-heading: The TJX Rewards Platinum Mastercard®
This is the more versatile option for those who want to earn rewards beyond just TJX stores. As a Mastercard, it can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted, offering you more opportunities to accumulate points.
Key Benefits:
5 points per $1 spent at all TJX family of stores (the same as the store card).
1 point per $1 spent everywhere else Mastercard is accepted. This means your everyday spending on groceries, gas, and other bills can contribute to your TJX Rewards!
No annual fee.
A 10% off your first purchase welcome offer (similar conditions to the store card).
Potential for exclusive shopping events, member-only free shipping offers, and surprise & delight opportunities.
Recommendation: If you qualify, the TJX Rewards Platinum Mastercard® is generally the better choice due to its wider acceptance and ability to earn points on all your purchases. However, both cards offer the excellent 5% back at TJX stores.
Step 2: Let's Get Earning! Accumulating Points with Your Purchases
Once you have your TJX Rewards card in hand (or digitally linked!), the earning process is straightforward.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
Sub-heading: Earning Points at TJX Family Stores
This is where you'll rack up points the fastest. Every time you make a purchase at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, or HomeSense, either in-store or online, you'll earn 5 points for every $1 you spend. There's no limit to the amount of rewards you can earn!
Sub-heading: Earning Points Everywhere Else (with the Platinum Mastercard)
If you have the TJX Rewards Platinum Mastercard®, you'll also earn 1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases where Mastercard is accepted. This could be your daily coffee, your grocery run, or even paying your utility bills – every little bit adds up!
Sub-heading: Understanding Point Conversion
The TJX Rewards program works on a simple conversion:
Every 1,000 points you earn translates into a $10 Rewards Certificate.
So, for example:
Spending ) = 1,000 points = $10 Rewards Certificate.
Spending ) = 1,000 points = $10 Rewards Certificate.
Step 3: Unlocking Your Savings! Receiving Your Rewards Certificates
This is the exciting part! Once you hit the 1,000-point threshold, a $10 Rewards Certificate will be issued to you. TJX offers a few convenient ways to receive and access your certificates:
Sub-heading: Digital Rewards Certificates – The Fastest Way!
This is the most common and convenient method. When you link your TJX Rewards credit card account to your T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods online account (or app), your Rewards Certificates will be available digitally.
Availability: Newly earned certificates are typically available within 48 hours of earning them.
Accessing Them:
Online: When logged into your TJX account on tjmaxx.com, marshalls.com, or homegoods.com, your digital Rewards Certificates will automatically appear as an option in the payment section during checkout. You can also view them under the "TJX Rewards" section of "My Account."
In-App: If you use the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods mobile apps, your certificates will be available there for in-store scanning and redemption.
Sub-heading: Paper Rewards Certificates
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
If you haven't opted for electronic statements or haven't linked your card digitally, you may still receive paper Rewards Certificates with your monthly billing statement. These will have a unique number and security code for redemption.
Step 4: Time to Treat Yourself! Redeeming Your Rewards Certificates
Now for the best part: using your hard-earned Rewards Certificates to snag even more amazing deals!
Sub-heading: Redeeming Online
Log in to your TJX account on tjmaxx.com, marshalls.com, or sierra.com.
During the checkout process, navigate to the payment section.
If your card is linked, your available digital Rewards Certificates will likely automatically appear as a redemption option.
If not linked, or if you're using a paper certificate, you can manually enter the certificate number and CSC (Certificate Security Code) into the designated field.
Apply the certificate to your order. The value will be deducted from your total.
Sub-heading: Redeeming In-Store
If your card is linked to the app: Simply open the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods app, go to the Rewards section, and your digital certificates will be there. The cashier can scan the barcode directly from your phone.
If you have a paper certificate: Present the paper certificate to the cashier. They will scan it or manually enter the details.
The value of the certificate will be applied to your purchase.
Important Redemption Notes:
No Cash Value: Rewards Certificates cannot be redeemed for cash or used to purchase gift cards.
Expiration: TJX Rewards Certificates typically have an expiration date of two years from the date of issue. This gives you plenty of time to use them, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the date.
Stacking: You can often stack multiple Rewards Certificates on a single purchase, allowing for significant savings!
Returns: If you return an item purchased with a Rewards Certificate, the value of the certificate typically returns to your rewards balance or is re-issued as merchandise credit, depending on the store's return policy.
