UNION, N.J., June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY) today unveiled Welcome Rewards^TM, a new program that will bring valuable savings, more benefits, and special perks to customers who shop online and in stores nationwide at Bed Bath & Beyond®, buybuy BABY®, and Harmon®.

With Welcome Rewards, there are no product exclusions for earning points. This allows customers to unlock tremendous savings off a future purchase. For example, a Welcome Rewards+ member who purchases an iRobot® Roomba® s9+ (9550) Wi-Fi® Connected Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal that typically retails for $999.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond and most other retailers will receive approximately $50 in rewards to use on their next purchase. Similarly, a Welcome Rewards+ member will get nearly $30 in rewards when purchasing a Baby Jogger® City Turn^TM Convertible Car Seat that currently retails at buybuy BABY and most other retailers for $549.99. The purchase of an iHome® 10x/1x Beauty Vanity Mirror and Stereo Speaker with Bluetooth® Speakerphone, priced at $249.99 at Harmon and most other retailers, would result in a $10 reward – with points remaining to help the customer build towards the next reward.

Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy BABY and Harmon websites and mobile apps offer a Welcome Rewards dashboard that allows customers to easily access their available points and rewards, exclusive benefits, birthday reward, and more. Over time, customers can expect new components to be added, including early access to new products, sales events, exclusive events, and expert reviews.

Coinciding with the Welcome Rewards launch, an "open the door to more" integrated marketing campaign will come to life through in-store and online marketing, including email, organic and paid social media ads, digital video, SMS, and affiliate marketing.

No, The Coupon Isn't Going Away
Welcome Rewards and Welcome Rewards+ members, and Welcome Rewards Credit Card holders, can choose to apply a Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy BABY or Harmon coupon as part of their transaction and still earn valuable points for the entire purchase. For example, Welcome Rewards+ members can elect to apply a 20% off a single item coupon and still get 15% off the rest of their eligible items while also earning 50 points per dollar for their entire transaction.

Welcome Pay
As Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. continues to create innovative solutions that make it easier and more convenient to shop across its brands, the company is introducing an all-new pay-in-four solution, Welcome Pay. Welcome Pay offers customers a convenient opportunity to pay more flexibly over time, with no fees and zero interest.
