Loyalty/Financial Incentives
Christians's automatically provides Star Rewards loyalty benefits to Christian's credit cardholders. Customers may sign-up for the Christian's Star Rewards program if they do not have a Macy's credit card. To participate as a non-cardholder, you must provide an email (so we can send reward and program-related information), phone number (as the identifier used to track purchases that go toward reward points and redeem rewards), and birth month and day (to redeem rewards). The purpose of the Star Rewards loyalty program is to encourage repeat business with Christian's and enhance your shopping experience.
The benefits provided to customers (or realized by Christian's) vary by customer depending upon the purchases made, whether items are bought in-store or online, which offers a customer uses, and many other factors. Christians's also incurs a variety of expenses related to loyalty benefits. Those may include, for example, costs associated with discounts on purchases and free shipping. The benefits are reasonably related to the value of the data you provide.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under Consumer Data Privacy Legislation. Star Rewards members also remain free to opt-out of email, phone, and text marketing at any time.
We also offer customers a discount promotion code for signing up for marketing emails. The promotion code is provided in a confirmation email. However, customers may opt-out at any time thereafter and still retain the ability to use the promotion code. We provide this incentive because we want to be able to send offers by email. The cost of sending an email is nominal.
