Savings Center

The savings you earn through the Appleseed's VIP Plus program are deposited into your Savings Center and sent out in the form of Appleseed's Savings Certificates redeemable anywhere Appleseed's Savings Certificates are accepted. Savings that are eligible for Appleseed's Savings Certificates include: shipping rebates, return shipping rebates, 5% back on grocery purchases, and 5% of purchases made through the VIP Plus Marketplace and purchases through our list of eligible retailers. You will receive a quarterly summary of your savings by email or mail if you have account activity during the previous 3-month period. Appleseed's Savings Certificates expire 90 days after the date of issue.

  • “All-Time Savings” is the total amount of savings you’ve earned as a lifetime Appleseed's VIP Plus member, including your “Introductory Offer,” “10% Discount on Purchases from ALL Companies in our Family of Brands,” and “Appleseed's Savings Certificates” earned from 5% back rebate claims on VIP Plus Marketplace purchases, 5% back rebate claims on grocery purchases, and shipping and return shipping rebates.
  • “Introductory Offer” is the savings you received for enrolling in the Appleseed's VIP Plus program. This is a one-time savings offer to thank you for joining the program.

  • “Instant Savings” refers to the savings you receive from your introductory offer and through your 10% Discount on purchases from all companies in our Family of Brands.

Once approved, these claims will be added to your “Pending Savings Certificates” total.) Once your savings reaches $10 at the end of a month, we’ll send you Appleseed's Savings Certificates. Any remaining balance under $10 will stay in your Savings Center as “Pending Savings Certificates” until you reach $10 again. (For example, if you have Pending Savings Certificates in the amount of $23, you will receive $20 in Appleseed's Savings Certificates, and the remaining $3 balance will stay in your Savings Center, where you can see it in the “Pending Savings Certificates” section.)
  • Should you cancel your Appleseed's VIP Plus membership, you will receive a check for the Pending Savings Certificates amount remaining in your Savings Center after the Savings Certificate payouts have been processed.
