Savings Center

What is my Savings Center?

Your Savings Center is where you can view the 10% back you’ve earned through the Collections Etc. Premier Savings program. It also lists the shipping and return shipping rebates you claim. All the savings you earn as an active member are added to your Savings Center first, then paid out to you in the form of a Merchandise Certificate.

How do I get to my Savings Center?

To access your Savings Center, login to your member account at CollectionsEtcPremierSavings.com and click the ‘Savings Center’ tab from your member homepage.

What do ‘Submitted’, ‘Approved’, and ‘Declined’ mean in my Savings Center?

When an item listed in your Savings Center is marked as ‘submitted’, ‘approved’ or ‘declined’ it’s referring to the status of that 10% back, shipping, or return shipping claim.

  1. ‘Submitted’ means that we've received your 10% back, shipping rebate, or return shipping rebate claim.
  2. ‘Approved’ means we've verified and processed your 10% back, shipping rebate, or return shipping rebate claim.
  3. ‘Paid’ means we've sent you a Merchandise Certificate for the amount associated with that 10% back, shipping rebate, or return shipping rebate claim.
  4. ‘Declined’ means your claim was not approved. Please contact customer service if you have any questions.

What if a claim I submitted is missing from my Savings Center?

You have 60 days to contact us if you believe an eligible purchase you made qualifies for 10% back and is not showing in your Savings Center. Please note that savings from a Marketplace purchase won’t appear on your account until the retailer notifies us of your purchase, typically within 5-7 days of its shipment to you. Also, if an item you purchase is on back-order, shipping may be delayed, which can thus delay its appearance in your Savings Center.

If you’ve submitted a rebate claim and it is not showing in your Savings Center, please be sure you’ve sent all necessary proof-of-purchase documentation along with your rebate claim. Keep in mind that return shipping rebates require two forms of documentation: a proof-of-purchase AND proof of the paid return shipping charge.

You also have 60 days to contact us about a missing shipping rebate claim or a missing return shipping rebate claim. Again, please be certain you’ve submitted all required documentation for each type of rebate claim.
