Savings

Your Savings page is where you can track your 5% cash back earnings, as well as shipping and return shipping rebates you’ve earned throughout your Christopher & Banks VIP membership.

"Submitted" means that we've received your claim for 5% cash back, or a shipping or return shipping rebate.

"Approved" means we've verified and processed your claim for 5% cash back, or a shipping or return shipping rebate.

"Paid" means we've sent you a check as payout for that specific 5% cash back, shipping or return shipping rebate.

“Declined” means your claim was not approved. Please contact our Christopher & Banks VIP Customer Service Department at 800-498-4031 if you have any questions.

You have 60 days from the date of your order to contact our Christopher & Banks VIP Customer Service Department if you believe cash back from a qualifying purchase is missing from your Savings. Please note that an online Christopher & Banks or Marketplace purchase won't appear in your Savings until the retailer notifies us that your order has shipped; it can take 5-7 business days for such notification to reach us. Also, if an item you've purchased is on backorder, that item won't ship until the retailer receives it.

For rebate claims, please be sure you've submitted the necessary proof-of-purchase documentation (a purchase receipt, packing slip, or order confirmation page or email) along with your rebate claim. Also, please remember that return shipping rebates require proof-of-purchase documentation AND proof of the return shipping charge (see below).

Please check that you’ve submitted both of the following required forms of documentation along with your return shipping rebate claim:

  • Either the order confirmation or the packing slip from the retailer where you purchased the returned item, displaying the price, item, retailer information, and order and shipping dates;

AND

  • A shipping receipt for the return shipment displaying the date, shipping destination, and price paid. USPS receipts that indicate the destination zip code are acceptable. (If you returned a purchase using a Christopher & Banks return label, but you do not have an email address associated with your VIP account, please contact Christopher & Banks customer service at 800-498-4031 for verification of your return shipping charges. We will process your return shipping rebate once verification is complete.)
