  • Your card company is declining your transaction because of insufficient funds or another reason from your card company.

Please contact your card company to release any pending holds from White House Black Market if you received an ERROR response that matches any of the reasons above. White House Black Market has no control of the grace period for releasing authorized funds, particularly debit card funds.

WHBM Rewards+™ Program FAQs

Our WHBM Rewards™ Program was discontinued in June of 2022 and replaced by our NEW WHBM Rewards+™ Loyalty Program. But GREAT news! If you were an active WHBM Rewards Member (e.g. you shopped with us using your WHBM Rewards membership at least once in the 36 months prior to the date the WHBM Rewards Program was discontinued) and have a U.S. address, we have already placed you in a Tier (Insider, Trendsetter, Icon, or Legend) based on your WHBM Rewards membership annual spend.

However, since WHBM Rewards+™ is a new loyalty program, we need you to accept our new Program’s Terms and Conditions before your next Qualifying Purchase to access your Benefits and start earning Points under the new Program. Simply visit any WHBM® boutique or go to the account login page at whbm.com to log-in or create an account before your next Qualifying Purchase or click through the link at the bottom of your WHBM Rewards+ welcome email to accept our new WHBM Rewards+ Program Terms and Conditions and gain access to all your Benefits and Rewards. See the Program Terms for full details.

WHBM Rewards+™ is the NEW White House Black Market’s® customer loyalty program, consisting of four tiers: Insider, Trendsetter, Icon and Legend.

As a Member of the Program, you will automatically receive Points for every dollar you spend on Qualifying Purchases at any White House Black Market® boutique, online at whbm.com or by phone at 877.948.2525. For every 2,000 Points you earn, you will receive a $5 Reward redeemable on your next merchandise purchase in Participating Locations. Level up to earn even more Points on your Qualifying Purchases!

You may be eligible to receive additional WHBM Rewards+ offers from time to time, provided you are opted-in to receive email marketing communications from White House Black Market® and its affiliates at the time each offer or Benefit is made available to eligible Members. Sign up now to get in the know!

Purchases made in WHBM® Outlets do not earn Points and do not count towards your annual spend requirements, however all Rewards issued under the WHBM Rewards+™ Program are redeemable in those locations. Gift card purchases are also excluded from earning Points; see the Program Terms for more details & exclusions.

You will receive an email notification with your Reward coupon within 45 days of earning a Reward.

The WHBM Rewards+™ is open to U.S. residents only. If you are an International resident, you may create an online shopping account, but you will not be enrolled in our Loyalty Program. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in the Program. There is no fee to join or maintain Membership in the Program.

You may sign up for WHBM Rewards+™ at any participating White House Black Market® boutique, White House Black Market® Outlet or by creating an account online at whbm.com (“Participating Locations”) by providing your first and last name, phone number, email address and birth month. Complete your profile online at whbm.com to unlock all that WHBM Rewards+ has to offer. See the Program Terms for full details.

No, but it would be helpful if you did. If you are new to whbm.com but have already received a new WHBM Reward+™ Member number or have an existing WHBM Rewards™ number from shopping in our Boutiques or by phone, click on the “I signed up in store and want to manage my WHBM Rewards+™ account” option under the WHBM Rewards+ section on the online Registration page and enter your Rewards number and mailing address. This allows us to identify your old WHBM Rewards membership or your new WHBM Rewards+ membership in our records and ensure that you can start earning Points and receive your WHBM Rewards+ Benefits for all your Qualifying Purchases. You can find your WHBM Rewards+ Member number on the back of your White House Black Market® catalog or on your receipt.

If you do not have your Rewards number, we may still be able to locate your information however it may take up to 48 hours to do so. Just skip the Loyalty Number field in the online registration form, enter your mailing address and complete your registration and we’ll do the rest!

You will automatically receive your WHBM Rewards+™ Benefits (such as free shipping, when applicable) once you have completed your online registration on whbm.com. Then, just log-in to the Site prior to checkout each time you shop with us to keep earning!

To ensure you earn Points on Qualifying Purchases in our WHBM® Boutiques, provide your phone number or email address associated with your account to your Stylist at checkout. See the Program Terms for full details.

Yes! Provided we have your valid mailing address and email address in your Membership profile, you will continue to receive your catalog and email coupons, some of which may be combined with your earned Rewards.

There may be a few reasons for this. (1) Did you log in with your WHBM Rewards+™ account information prior to checking out or provide your email or telephone number associated with your Membership at checkout in store? This is the only way to ensure that you receive all of your Benefits related to each Qualifying Purchase. (2) Points for Qualifying Purchases are awarded when you complete your purchase in store or when your order ships and can take up to three (3) business days to reflect in your account. (3) Were the items that you purchased eligible for Points? Certain items, including WHBM® Outlet merchandise and gift card purchases, do not earn Points or count towards your Annual Spend. Still have questions? Please contact Customer Service at 877.948.2525 or email us at customerservice@whbm.com.

Simply go to the account login page at whbm.com to log-in or create an account. Did you sign-up in-store? Be sure to use the same contact information you provided when you enrolled in the WHBM Rewards+™ Program in-store, create an online account password and complete the Registration process.

If you haven’t done so already, we need you to accept our new Program’s Terms and Conditions before your next Qualifying Purchase, to access your Benefits and start earning Points under the new Program.

Once your account is created, you can log-in and visit your Account Profile any time to see your Membership information, your latest status and progress towards your next Reward!

No. Membership, Points, Rewards, and other Program Benefits are not transferable and cannot be shared. See the Program Terms for full details and other Program rules.

You may have two or more account numbers on file that will need to be merged to combine all your Qualifying Purchases into a single account and qualify you for a higher Tier. Members are only permitted one (1) WHBM Rewards+™ account. Alternatively, Points from your latest Qualifying Purchase may not yet be reflected in your account. Please allow three (3) business days for your Points to appear in your account. Still missing Points? Please contact us at 877.948.2525 or at customerservice@whbm.com for assistance.

Currently there are four Tiers of benefits in the WHBM Rewards+™ Program; Insider, Trendsetter, Icon and Legend. Your Tier level is determined by your net Qualifying Purchases made during the calendar year at participating White House Black Market® boutiques, online at whbm.com or by phone. Upon joining WHBM Rewards+, new Members will be automatically enrolled as a member of the Insider Tier unless your first Qualifying Purchase qualifies you for a higher Tier. Learn more at www.whbm.com/rewards.

As soon as you qualify for a new Tier, provided we have a current valid email address associated with your Membership, you will receive an email welcoming you to that Tier. You will maintain that status (or higher, based on your spend) for the remainder of the current calendar year and potentially the following year. While you won't drop Tiers in the current calendar year, any Qualifying Purchase returns or exchanges you make may affect your Tier status for the following year as calculated each January. See the Program Terms for full details.

Tier downgrade events will occur once per calendar year starting January 1, 2024. In order to maintain your current Tier status in each new year, you must meet the spend threshold for that Tier (after returns and exchanges are calculated) within the previous calendar year. You will be notified by email of your Tier status each January. Please periodically review and manage your Membership profile to ensure we have your correct email.

Please allow three (3) business days for your in-store purchase or from the order shipment date for your Qualifying Purchase to be reflected in your total Qualifying Net Spend and for your Points to be posted to your account.

Congratulations on earning a Reward! Rewards are coupons redeemable against future purchases. Be sure to note the expiration date printed in your Rewards email.

In order to use your Reward on your next purchase, here is what you need to do:

For in store purchases: (1) Bring your Reward certificate with you the next time you visit any WHBM® Boutique or Outlet and present it to your Stylist at checkout or (2) show your Stylist the email containing your Reward when checking out.

For online purchases: (1) Locate your Reward code on your Reward certificate and enter it at checkout to redeem your Reward or (2) click through the link in your Reward email; the Reward code will be automatically added to your shopping cart.

Please note that once a Reward certificate is redeemed, it cannot be reinstated or refunded, even if you return or exchange all or part of your purchase. See the Program Terms for full details.

Yes! Rewards can be combined with up to five (5) other Rewards and coupons in a single transaction provided the total value of your purchase (excluding taxes and shipping) exceeds the total value of all combined Rewards and coupons. Restrictions may apply, see coupon offer details for further information.

No. So long as you were logged-in to your online account at the time of purchase or provided your email or phone number associated with your WHBM Rewards+™ Membership when you checked out in-store, you do not need your receipt when requesting a return or exchange. If your purchase was not linked to your loyalty account (e.g. you checked out as a guest in-store or online), a receipt is required. If it was a gift with no gift receipt, it may be eligible for return under our Return Policy.

Yes. If you return or exchange merchandise that was purchased with a Reward certificate, the Reward certificate value will be forfeited and deducted from any refund owed.

Was your most recent Qualifying Purchase completed less than three (3) business days ago? Or if your last Qualifying Purchase was made online, were any of your items shipped less than three (3) business days ago? If so, your Points may not have posted to your account yet. If your last Qualifying Purchase was made more than the timeframe above, please contact Customer Service at 877.948.2525 or email us at customerservice@whbm.com.

No, however the WHBM Rewards+™ Program provides even more benefits for you to love, including earning Points on every Qualifying Purchase for more Rewards faster. We’ve improved our Birthday Reward Benefit and you may also qualify for Bonus Reward Days, Bonus Points Days, and even Free Returns. Go online to whbm.com/rewards to see all the great Benefits we have to offer. Be sure to create an online account and accept our new Program’s Terms and Conditions before your next Purchase to start earning today!

Are there any items that cannot be shipped internationally?

If any of your items cannot be exported from the United States or imported into your selected country, you will be notified during the checkout process. As a general rule, consumer commodities such as aerosols, fragrances, and other alcohol-based products may not be available for international shipping.

Can I return my items?

Yes. Return instructions are provided with your package.

Pricing Policy

Curious about our pricing policy for products listed under our WHBM Outlet page?

Our Outlet product detail pages show two prices, a strike-through price and our discounted price. The strike-through price reflects our "Comparable Value" comparison price. To come up with our "Comparable Value" price, we compare our prices to the prices of similar styles from our full-priced retail stores and our competitors. We will adjust the price of the item to take into account differences in the features, benefits and materials between products found at our full-priced stores or our competitors and our outlet products. This adjusted price becomes the "Comparable Value" price. We then work to provide you with a discounted outlet sales price that provides you with the value you have come to know and love from our outlet products.
