IKEA Family Rewards Program

IKEA is known for its affordable Swedish furniture and hackable home furnishings. Its customers include new homeowners, college students and families who are remodeling their homes. Its rewards program is free to join and offers perks that could help you keep money in your wallet while refreshing your home's look.

Those perks include discounted pricing, kids-eat-free deals and free coffee. The program is also a great way to stay informed about product changes and special events at your local IKEA store. You can also take advantage of the program's buy back and resell service, where you can bring in older pieces of IKEA furniture that they will sell as-is for a store credit.

You can sign up for IKEA Family in-store or online. You will need your name, birth date, address and preferred IKEA store location to create an account. You can also select whether you would like to receive news and tips, or marketing offers via email, SMS or direct mail.

Once you have an IKEA Family account, you can easily track your orders and get personalized recommendations using the app. You can also find out what's in stock at your local store and place an order for pick-up or delivery.

If you want to save time and avoid waiting in line, plan your shopping trip for early or late afternoon when the store is less busy. Also, if you're planning to shop with kids, bring a stroller for the toddler and consider bringing a shopping cart hammock that secures to the basket so your child can stay in the seat while you shop.
