Stacking Tips

Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Total Wine & More.

1

Rewards Points + Monthly Special

Monthly featured wine or spirits special (15-25% off) + Earn Rewards points on promotional purchase + Redeem accumulated points on next visit

Buy featured monthly specials to get discounted pricing while still earning Rewards points. Stack a redeemed points discount on a future visit when another special is running for compound savings.

2

Mix-a-Six + Craft Beer Special

Mix-a-Six craft beer pricing + Include bottles already on weekly special + Earn Rewards points on total purchase

When building a Mix-a-Six, include bottles that are already on promotion within the craft beer wall. Some promotional bottles are eligible for mix-and-match pricing, maximizing per-bottle savings.

3

Holiday Sale + Rewards Redemption

Holiday sitewide sale pricing (15-25% off select categories) + Rewards points redemption applied at checkout

Time a Rewards points redemption during a holiday sale event. The discount applies on top of the sale price, not just regular pricing — maximizing the value of banked rewards.

4

Private Label + Volume Purchase

Winemaker's Selection private label pricing (25-40% below comparable branded wines) + Purchase multiple bottles for consistent value + Earn Rewards points on full purchase

Total Wine's private label wines consistently deliver quality at 25-40% below equivalent branded wines. Stocking up on a private label you enjoy during a sale event compounds savings significantly.
