Help! I Lost My IKEA Family Card
It‘s easy to misplace a card, especially one you may only use on periodic IKEA runs. The good news is, you can still access all your IKEA Family benefits even without the physical card in hand. Here are your options:
Option 1: Print a Temporary Card
If you‘re already in the store and realized you left your card at home, head to the IKEA Family kiosk. These are usually located by the entrance or in the Returns area. Log in to your account on the kiosk screen, and you‘ll have the option to print a temporary paper IKEA Family card. You can scan this at checkout to apply your membership. Just remember to toss the paper version before you leave – your real card is waiting safely at home.
Option 2: Access Your Digital Card
You can get your IKEA Family barcode without even stepping in the store. Just log in to your account on the IKEA website [link]. There will be an option to view your card barcode. You can pull this up on your phone at checkout, or even print it out at home before you shop.
Pro tip: For easy access in the future, download the IKEA mobile app [link] for instant access to your digital card and other Family account info. You can also save your card to your smartphone wallet, like Apple Wallet [link to instructions].
Option 3: Find Your Card Number in Your Profile
Your IKEA Family card number is printed on your physical card, but it‘s also connected to your Family account. Just log in on the IKEA website [link], and your 19-digit card number will be listed in your profile or under "My Family Card." Jot this number down and bring it with you, or simply pull it up on your phone at checkout.
Frequently Asked IKEA Family Questions
Hopefully you feel equipped to handle a lost or forgotten IKEA Family card now! While we‘re on the subject, here are a few more common questions about the IKEA Family program:
How long does an IKEA Family membership last?
Your IKEA Family membership must be renewed annually. Any points or benefits also expire a year from the date you signed up. But no worries – renewal is free and easy. IKEA will send you a reminder email when it‘s time, or you can check your expiration date in your online account.
Does IKEA Family cost money to join?
Not at all! Creating an IKEA Family account is completely free, and you get access to all the benefits at no charge. The only requirement is providing some basic info like your name and email address so IKEA can send you personalized offers.
How do I check my IKEA Family balance?
IKEA Family does have a points system where members can earn points on every purchase which convert to future discounts and rewards. To check your points balance, just log in to your Family account online or in the app. Your current points and available discounts will be displayed.
Can I use my IKEA Family card in a different country?
IKEA Family programs and benefits vary slightly country to country. While you can typically use your card globally, the specific discounts or rewards may be different than in your home country. Always check with the local IKEA Family kiosk or staff to verify what benefits apply.
Remember, if you don‘t have an IKEA Family membership yet, it‘s never too late to join for free online or at your nearest store kiosk. Start racking up the savings and perks today!
