7 Meijer mPerks Features Wisconsinites Forget to Use

You can remember everything on your Meijer grocery list and still remember one thing too late: You meant to check mPerks before your trip.

By the time you’re unloading bags in your driveway, checking for savings feels like homework for next week.

Then next week comes, and you follow the same routine.

These are the Meijer mPerks features many Wisconsinites forget to use.

1. Clipping Coupons First

Meijer’s mPerks app only credits a digital coupon once a shopper taps clip, not the moment it shows up in the list.

Browsing isn’t enough.

A shopper can scroll past twenty relevant deals convinced they’ll apply automatically at checkout.

Every one of those unclipped coupons rings up at full price, no matter how good the deal looked on the screen a minute earlier.

Clipping takes one tap in the app or on Meijer.com, and it moves the coupon into an active state that’s ready the moment the mPerks number goes in at checkout.

Shoppers who clip a stack of coupons before leaving the driveway in Appleton or Franklin walk into the store with the savings already locked in.

The alternative is hunting through the app in the checkout line while a cashier and the next customer both wait.

2. Coupons for Pickup and Delivery

Meijer lets those same clipped coupons follow a shopper into a pickup or delivery order, not only an in-store trip.

Many never realize it.

A shopper who treats mPerks as an in-store-only trick skips clipping before placing an online order.

The habit built up at the register never carried over to a laptop or the app’s pickup screen.

Every coupon that could have applied gets left behind.

The order total comes in higher than it needed to.

Clip the same way before an online order as before a store run, and the discount follows the order home.

The savings show up on a doorstep in Sheboygan or ride out to a trunk in the pickup lane, either way.

3. Turning Points Into Dollars

Meijer’s mPerks program pays out 10 points for every dollar a shopper spends at the register, on groceries and general merchandise alike.

Meijer lets that balance keep growing instead of forcing a shopper to cash out right away.

Coupon trackers who watched Meijer’s 2023 relaunch put the redemption rate at 1,000 points for $1 off a shopper’s total purchase.

A hundred dollars spent buys a dollar back.

It’s free money, basically.

Many shoppers redeem the very first small amount that pops up in the app instead of letting the balance build toward a bigger credit.

Waiting a few extra trips before cashing in turns a string of small, forgettable credits into a single credit that knocks a noticeable amount off the total.

4. 90-Day Redemption Window

Meijer lets a shopper reset the mPerks countdown just by redeeming a small amount every few trips instead of letting a balance sit untouched.

That countdown runs 90 days, doubled from the original 45 days to 90 when Meijer overhauled the program in 2023.

Ninety days still ends.

A shopper who bags the groceries, skips the redemption screen, and doesn’t open the app again for three months finds the balance back at zero.

Nothing at the register flags that the countdown already started, so redeeming something small every few trips is the only safeguard.

5. Push Alerts for Expiring Points

Meijer's app can send a push notification before an mPerks reward's expiration date instead of leaving a shopper to remember it alone.

A shopper turns that alert on from the app's account settings, and the whole thing takes less than a minute.

A shopper in Grafton juggling alerts from a dozen other store apps can still lose track of one Meijer reminder buried in the pile.

That one setting is what catches a reward before the 90-day window closes it out for good.

6. Bonus-Category Progress Bars

Checking Meijer's Earn tab before a big trip is the step many mPerks shoppers skip.

The tab shows rotating bonus-point challenges, each shown as a progress bar toward extra credit for hitting a spending target in a category that changes from month to month.

A shopper who never opens that tab shops right past a challenge that would have paid a few extra dollars for buying exactly what they already needed.

The progress bar fills on its own once a shopper's mPerks number is attached to the purchase, so there's nothing extra to track by hand.

A quick look at the tab before an ordinary run through a Waukesha or Grand Chute Meijer occasionally turns into a small bonus payout.

7. Pharmacy Points on Every Fill

Meijer used to award pharmacy points only after every fifth prescription filled.

The 2023 relaunch changed that so a qualifying fill earns points every single time, with pseudoephedrine and ephedra products left out.

Refills count too.
