Organized Insider offers savings for first time and regular shoppers. Plus, it’s free, so joining is usually a no-brainer - Andrew Young (Deal Frontier Editor)
How To Join The Organized Insider Loyalty Program
Visit The Container Store’s Organized Insider page to sign up or join via The Container Store’s app. New members can usually unlock a free sign up bonus (eg. $10 Off $75+ Spend).
You’ll need to create an account with your name, email and password. Optionally, you can add your home address, phone number and birthday. I’d recommend adding your birthday as you’ll need that to unlock the Organized Insider Birthday Offer.
Is Organized Insider Free To Join?
Yes! The Container Store’s Organized Insider loyalty program is free to join and there’s no recurring subscription fee. That means there’s no reason not to join.
Organized Insider Benefits Summary
Here’s a summary of all of the benefits you’ll receive as an Organized Insider member.
There are 3 tiers. Enthusiast ($0-$299 Spend), Experienced ($300-$999 Spend) and Expert ($1,000+ Spend). Meet the annual spend requirement (refunds excluded) and you’ll move up in tier at the end of the month. At the start of the next calendar year, you’ll get a new tier based on your previous year’s spending.

Bonus Month Offer - 15% (Enthusiast), $20% (Experienced) or 25% (Expert) Discount

Organized Insider Benefit - Insider Savings Day
Within 24 hours of joining Organized Insider, verifying your email and completing your profile, an Insider Savings Day offer will be added to your account. You can select one day each calendar year to take advantage of this offer in-store or online.
The higher your tier when you get the offer, the higher your discount:
Enthusiast - 15% Off
Experienced - 20% Off
Expert - 25% Off
Exclusions apply. You can’t get the discount on Gift Cards, In-Home Organizing Services, Preston/Avera/Gladiator Products, Installation, Taxes or Shipping. This discount can’t be combined with other offers but any better offer will take precedence.
What If You Move Up A Tier Before You Use The Insider Savings Day Offer?
Your once per year Insider Savings Day offer won’t change. The percentage discount is set at the time you receive the voucher (when you join/start of each calendar year). You will get a separate New Tier Offer when you move up a tier (more on that below).
Organized Insider Benefit - Birthday Offer
As long as you add your birthday to your Organized Insider profile before your birthday month begins, you’ll benefit from a special discount which you can use in-store or online.
At the start of your birthday month, you’ll receive a discount which can be applied to one order. The offer expires at the end of that month so it’s use it or lose it. Your discount will depend on your Organized Insider Tier:
Enthusiast - 15% Off
Experienced - 20% Off
Expert - 25% Off
Exclusions apply. You can’t get the discount on Gift Cards, In-Home Organizing Services, Preston/Avera/Gladiator Products, Installation, Taxes or Shipping. The discount can’t be combined with other offers but The Container Store should always make sure the better offer applies.
Organized Insider Benefit - Bonus Savings
You can take advantage of bonus savings as soon as you join Organized Insider. Whilst non-members may see an offer for 10% off $200+ Spend, Organized Insiders may get an extra 5% off. Check out potential Bonus Savings in the Organized Insider Dashboard.
The higher your Organized Insider status, the better these Bonus Savings will tend to be.
Organized Insider Benefit - New Tier Offer
When you move up a tier, you’ll get a New Tier Offer which can be applied to one in-store or online order. New Tiers are calculated at the end of every month. If you move up, you’ll get the offer around the 1st and you’ll have 30 days to use it:
Move Up To Experienced Tier ($300 Min Spend) - 20% Off
Move Up To Expert Tier ($1000+ Min Spend) - 25% Off
Exclusions apply. You can’t use the New Tier Offer on Gift Cards, In-Home Organizing Services, Preston/Avera/Gladiator Products, Elfa Custom Spaces, Taxes or Shipping. You can’t combine the offer with other discounts but the better discount should take precedence.
Can You Claim Past Receipts To Increase Your Tier?
Yes but only if the purchase was made after your became an Organized Insider member. Any transactions made prior to your membership won’t count.
To claim past receipts, just contact your local Container Store or contact The Container Store Customer Solutions Department.

Whilst most online and in-store transactions count towards your Organized Insider tier, there are some exceptions:

Does Your Organized Insider Tier Expire?
