Q: What are some of the limitations for getting SHOP Tracker Points?
A: In addition to Shop Tracker limitations outlined in our Terms of Service, some stores may have further restrictions for earning SHOP Tracker Points. For example, a special sales event may make a purchase ineligible for SHOP Tracker Points. Using a coupon for some stores could potentially void the SHOP Tracker Points for that store, including those you may receive via e-mail, see on a deal/coupon site or offered on a store’s website. Since all stores have different terms and conditions, we cannot distribute SHOP Tracker Points where stores follow this type of policy and impose certain purchasing restrictions.
Q: What should I do when a purchase isn't showing up in my account?
A: Most SHOP Tracker Point for eligible purchases appears in your Shop Tracker account within a week. Other possible reasons the purchase is not showing up in your account may include:
- The store might not recognise the purchase as complete because the item(s) might be on backorder, payment is processing, or other reasons. Contact the store directly to confirm that the purchase was processed. If the merchant confirms that the purchase was processed, please contact your Shop Consultant for further help.
- You opened a partner store’s website in a different web browser. All partner store transactions must be initiated via SHOP.COM UK.
- Your browser is not configured to accept cookies. Please see above about browser configuration to accept cookies.
- Your order was cancelled or the goods or services were returned.
- You also used a separate discount or coupon, gift card, or a gift certificate.
- Some popular browsers have changed their settings to prevent tracking of your browsing information. Visit https://uk.shop.com/shopping-tips-v.xhtml for tips to enable tracking on the most popular browsers. While these changes are intended to increase your privacy, they also impact our ability to track your orders for IBV credit. One such browser is Safari, which utilizes Apple’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.0 technology for macOS and iOS (Mac, iPhone and iPad). For more information and technical details, visit https://webkit.org/blog/8311/intelligent-tracking-prevention-2-0/ Most of our Partner Stores have made the necessary changes to ensure your orders are tracked and you receive IBV. However, some are still working on implementing the required measures to prevent certain browsers like Safari from blocking order tracking
- Additional limitations for purchases on certain partner store sites might apply. See the store’s policy for further information.
Q: How does SHOP.COM know that I've made a qualifying purchase?
A: When you sign up and are logged in before you shop, qualifying purchases you make are tracked using your login information. SHOP Tracker Points earned from our Premier Partners will show up in your Shop Tracker account with a week or two.
Q: What happens if I return, exchange or cancel a purchase?
A: Returns, exchanges and cancellations are subject to the individual store’s return policy. If you return, cancel or exchange part or all of a purchase, the store may reverse your purchase with us. We won’t be able to give you SHOP Tracker Points from that transaction. Please refer to the individual store’s page on SHOP.COM UK for more details.
Q: What happens if a store changes the SHOP Tracker Points amount since the last time I was on the site?
A: It’s possible that the SHOP Tracker Points amount has changed from what you may have seen on a previous visit. The SHOP Tracker Points you earn is what is posted with the product at the time of purchase, so we can’t honour a SHOP Tracker Points amount you saw on an earlier visit if it has changed.
Q: What is a Shopping Trip ID?
A: A Shopping Trip ID is a unique number that lets us know that you left SHOP.COM to visit a partner store. This unique number lets us know each and every visit you make to our partner stores by date and time.
Q: Does the Shopping Trip ID let me know if I earned points from that trip?
A: Yes, we will record each and every trip you make to a partner store and if you complete a purchase in one of those trips, we will identify which trip ID generated the Points. Simply look for the icons next to the trip ID.
Q: What happens if I do not see my points showing on my Points report or Shopping Trip Activity report?
A: Please allow up to 7 business days for your purchase to be awarded to your account. If after 7 business days has past, locate the Shopping Trip ID for the store you ordered from on the day of the order. By clicking the Shopping Trip ID, you will be presented an online form to complete and send to customer service.
Q: I made one Shopping Trip to a Partner Store and placed two orders back to back but only one tracked to my Shopping Trip. Why did that happen?
A: In order for each order to track, you must click and generate a new trip ID for each order. Once you complete an order and need to make another one, you must click back through SHOP.COM and get a new trip ID for the next purchase. If you do not, then only the first order will count — the next order will not unless you click through SHOP.COM again before making the next purchase.
Q: What if I do not have a Shopping Trip for the day of my purchase?
A: All purchases must have a Shopping Trip ID on the day of the purchase. By having this ID, it provides us activity that you were logged in to your account and clicked on a qualified link through SHOP.COM or Shop Buddy.
Q: How far back am I allowed to see my shopping trips?
A: The total amount of Shopping Trips that are available to everyone is 3 months (90 days).
Q: How long do I have to request for a missing Points order?
A: You have up to 60 days to submit a missing order inquiry for any online retail purchase. After 60 days, the trip ID will be disabled for submitting the missing order request and you will not be able to fill in the request online. If it is a travel request past the time frame, please contact out customer service for assistance.

Installments Powered by Mastercard®
Q: What is Pay in Installments?
A: Pay in Installments is a new payment option offered by SHOP.COM that allows consumers to split the cost of a purchase into multiple equal payments over time through installment loans from lenders that participate in the Mastercard Installments Program.
Q: What are the benefits of paying in installments?
A: Pay in Installments provides consumers with additional financial flexibility to spread the cost of a single purchase over time with a wide range of convenient repayment options. The consumer does not need to have an existing relationship with the lender or have a Mastercard to apply for a loan, and applying will not impact their credit score.
Q: Which items are eligible for Pay in Installments?
A: A Pay in Installments banner will be displayed on product detail pages for items that are eligible for checkout with Pay in Installments. The Pay in Installments option will also be displayed at the payment page if the consumer's total cart size qualifies.
Q: What types of installment offers are available?
A: There are many different installments offers that a consumer may be eligible for, including zero-interest and APR with varying length of terms. The installment offers that are specifically displayed and offered to consumers are subject to the lender's policies. SHOP.COM does not have any input on what each consumer is eligible for.
Q: When is my first payment due?
A: The repayment schedule will be provided to the consumer directly from the lender. Depending on the lender and the offer selected, the first payment may be due at the time of purchase. The lender may also offer the option to automatically make future payments, so the consumer does not need to manually pay each time.
Q: What are the requirements of using Pay in Installments?
A: Consumers must be over 18 years of age, a resident of the U.S., hold an eligible Bank checking account/debit card to make future loan repayments, and meet specific credit eligibility terms to qualify. A complete list of requirements will be available in the loan application provided to the consumer during the checkout process.
Q: What is the minimum purchase amount to be eligible for Pay in Installments?
A: The minimum purchase amount eligible for Pay in Installments is $100.
Q: How does a consumer submit a return or cancel an order?
A: The consumer will need to contact SHOP.COM directly if they need to cancel an order or need to make a return. SHOP.COM will provide the consumer with additional instructions in accordance with its standard return policy. Once a return or cancellation has occurred, the lender will reconcile any repayments that have already been made.
Q: Who should the consumer contact if there is a question regarding an installment loan/application?
A: For more information on the terms of a Pay in Installment loan or application, the consumer can contact the applicable lender based on instructions provided to them during the loan application process and/or through their loan confirmation email.
