• Online: Log in to essentialsperks.com, click "Shop" from the main navigation, and then click the “Shop Marketplace” link. Click on any retailer link you want, and then use the browser window that opens to shop as you normally would. Just be sure to complete your purchase in that browser window and during that shopping session.

(Notification typically takes up to 7 business days, but it can take longer if the item you've purchased is on back-order.) Please note that we can’t automatically apply the 5% back on purchases made at online retailers labeled “Rebate Required.” You’ll need to submit a rebate claim to receive 5% back on purchases at these retailers.

Payouts for 5% back on those purchases will continue to follow the process described above.

Also, if an item you've purchased is on back-order, that item won't ship until the retailer receives it.

In the case of rebate claims, please be sure you've submitted the necessary proof-of-purchase documentation (a purchase receipt, packing slip, or order confirmation page or email) along with your rebate claim.

• A shipping receipt for the return shipment displaying the date, shipping destination, and price paid. USPS receipts that indicate the destination zip code are acceptable.
