How do I use my Gift Card online? Can it be used in retail stores?

YES! Gift cards can now be used in retail stores and online.

Protect your Gift Card. Your gift card should be treated like cash. If lost, damaged, used without your permission, or stolen, it will not be replaced. The available balance will be applied toward your purchase. This card can be used to purchase merchandise only. It may not be used to purchase other gift cards, redeemed for cash (except where the balance on the card is less than $5), or for payment of Ashley Stewart Credit Card balances. After 24 consecutive months of non-use, a service charge of $2 per month will be deducted from the remaining balance. As long as a balance remains, the funds making up such balance shall not expire. No variance from these terms and conditions will be allowed except in those states where legally required. For balance inquiry and all other information or questions, call 1-888-716-5803.

When Will I Be Billed For My Order?

You will be billed for your order after the order ships from our fulfillment center.

My credit card was declined, but the charge is showing on my credit card. What happened?

If your order was declined during the checkout process you may see what looks like a "charge" to your credit card if checking your statement online or by phone.  YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED. The "charge" appearing on your credit card is called a pending hold. Pending holds come about because banks and credit card companies hold funds for online transactions while they verify information in order to determine whether or not to approve the transaction.  If the transaction was declined by your bank or credit card Company, the hold will come off your statement in accordance with the policies established by your bank or Credit Card Company. If you have any questions about when the hold will come off, please contact your bank or credit card company directly.

PLEASE NOTE: You may receive an error message in the checkout process if your billing information is not exactly how your bank/credit card company has it on file.  The message will say "AVS Mis-match: The billing address provided does not match the billing address on file with your credit company". If this happens, use the edit button to edit the billing information you entered previously so that it matches exactly the information your bank or credit card company has on file. Please note that information entered after your billing information such as promotional codes, online store credits, gift card IDs, etc., may have to be re-entered.

For further information about this or any other error message received during the checkout process, please call customer service at 1-888-520-6948 or 1-201-272-1164.

Please have your invoice # ready and contact our Customer Service Department at Toll free 1-888-520-6948 or 1-201-272-1164 to see if you are eligible for a price adjustment. Your inquiry must be made within the 14 day window; inquiries made after 14 days will be denied.

Price adjustments are not eligible on special promotions, including %'s off (e.g., 25%, 40%, and 50% etc.) and $'s off.
