FAQ: How will I get my credit?
If you return it at an in-person market or a storefront, you’ll be given a card with your $2 credit on the spot that you can use then or come back another day to redeem. If you do a residential drop off or ship it back to us, you’ll be issued a $2 online credit to use at www.mysticeco.com.
