General

What do I do if an item is out of stock in my size?
The best way to tell if we will be reordering an item is if the sizes are grayed out with a line through it, or if it has a hanger above the size. If the size is grayed out with a strike through it, that means we will not be restocking it. If there is a hanger, that means there is a possibility that we will be reordering them. If we receive enough customer sign-ups showing interest in purchasing the item, then we will reorder it. Make sure you sign-up!
When will you be restocking this item?
If an item has a hanger above the size, that means that there is a possibility we will be restocking the item. We determine a reorder of an item depending on how many people sign up to be notified of a reorder. The best way to know if or when a restock will happen is to select your size, enter your phone or email in the field, and click “Notify Me”.
Do you have gift cards?
We sure do! You can href="https://shopthemint.com/products/giftwizard-giftcard">purchase gift cards here. We’ve heard it’s a very popular gift!
How will the Gift Card be sent to the recipient?
All eGift Cards are sent electronically via email. We do not offer physical Gift Cards to be purchased online at this time. You can also select for the gift card to be sent to the recipient via IM (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or any other messaging app), or choose to have the gift card emailed to you and print it out.
How do I use my gift card code?
If you are shopping on a mobile device, just click "View Order Summary" while you are in Checkout, then you can simply input your code into the available Gift card/discount code field and click Apply before completing your order.

If you are shopping on a desktop, this Gift card/discount code field will be on the right hand side of the checkout page above the Subtotal.

WARNING: The materials used in this product contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In posting this warning, our goal is to inform you that one or more of the chemicals listed in Prop 65 may be present in our products.

Sizing & Products

Womens: What size should I order?
The best way to make sure you order the perfect size is to take a peek at the "Measurements" tab. It will give you the exact measurements for the size you've selected. Each item is measured from side seam to side seam, on a flat surface.

We have created a general sizing guide to help you decide which size would be best for you. You can compare the displayed measurements with your own to find the absolute perfect fit!

Rewards

What is Shop The Rewards?
Our way of showing our appreciation for YOU! You’ll earn points for activities on our site, from purchases to referrals and more! You can use the points to earn discounts off purchases. So, the more points you collect the more you save!

If you don’t have an account, signup at the top of this page to start earning rewards!
I made a purchase but wasn't a rewards member. Now what?
No worries! You have 3 days to join the rewards program from the date of your purchase to get those points!
How do I earn points?
You can earn points by creating an account, signing up for email and text messages, following us on social media, referring friends and making purchases!
How do I view my point balance?
You must login to your account. You’ll be able to view your point balance in the top bar of every page.
Is there a limit to the number of points I can earn?
No! The more you buy and share, the more you earn. Just remember that your points expire after 1 year after your most recent purchase date.
What do the 'Approved', 'Pending' and 'Canceled' statuses mean?
  • Approved: You earned these points which can be redeemed on rewards immediately.
  • Pending: There is a 30 day waiting period on all purchases and referrals. After the 30 days, you’ll see these points as approved.
  • Canceled: These points will not be added to your account. For example, this will happen if you cancel a purchase or make a return (the points will change from pending to canceled)
I placed an order but it's not showing pending points?
Orders placed using a Gift Card or Store Credit will not receive loyalty points.
How do I redeem my points?
You must login to your account to redeem.

What if a friend I refer cancels or returns their order?
Unfortunately, your pending points will become 'canceled' and will be removed from your account.
Why did my account balance go down?
It means you, or someone you referred, canceled or you returned a purchase. Your points may have also expired after 1 year.
I completed an activity (not purchase) but didn't earn points!
It can sometimes take a few minutes for us to process your activity and provide your points. If it’s been longer than 7 business days, send us an email at help@shopthemint.com.
Awarding points when there's change involved?
We use standard rounding. If the customer spends anywhere above $0.50 we’ll be rounding up. If $0.49 or less, we’ll round down.
How do I leave the program?
If you no longer wish to earn points, please contact us and ask to be removed from the program by contacting us at help@shopthemint.com. In doing so, you will lose any points you have accrued.
What happens if I leave and decide to join again?
Sadly, your point total will begin from zero. (So give some serious thought to leaving in the first place!)
