Financial Incentives
We provide special offers and benefits to customers who participate in our Appleseed’s Rewards Club Program.

Customers may opt-in online and can opt out at any time by contacting a customer service representative, or by using the unsubscribe methods provided for that communication channel such as unsubscribe links in email messages and replying "Stop" to text messages.
Rewards Club Program: Customers who participate in the Rewards Club Program earn points when they purchase products from participating brands that can be used to discount the price of the customer's future purchases with participating brands. We estimate the value of personal information we request from our Rewards Club customers by comparing the amount spent by Rewards Club customers to similarly situated customers who do not participate in the Rewards Club over a 12-month period.
Other Special Offers: The value of this personal information varies based on the special offer provided at the time the customer signs up, the amount purchased by the customer using that special offer, and value of future special offers the customer receives from us and uses to make purchases. For example, a 25% discount offer will be valued differently depending on how much the customer purchases.
