Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the trade-in program work?
A: Starting June 23, 2025, bring your denim apparel (see Prohibited Items for what is accepted and what is not) to a participating Mark’s store. Pick out your next pair of jeans or jean jacket from our in-store assortment. Let the cashier know that you are donating your clothing items today. After dropping your pre-loved items into the collection box at the check-out, you will receive $5 off towards your next pair of jeans or jean jacket, minimum value of $50 or more (pre-tax).
Q: If I do not want to purchase a new item that day, will I be able to donate my clothes?
A: Yes, you can still donate! But you will be forfeiting the $5 discount offer on a new pair of jeans or jean jacket. Please see Prohibited Items for what is accepted and what is not.
Q: If I don’t see the items I want in-store and still want to receive the discount, what can I do?
A: Our cashier can order the item you want and apply the discount towards your purchase for you in-store!
Q: If I do not want to purchase a new item today, can I save the discount for another day?
A: Unfortunately, at this time, discount must be redeemed at the same time of trade-in.
Q: The item I want to donate is not on the list, what can I do?
A: At this time, we are only able to accept items according to our Trade-in Guidelines.
Q: Can I mail my items to the store for trade-in?

A: Starting June 23, 2025, you will be able to participate in all Mark’s stores in Alberta except for the stores mentioned here until further notice. Stay tuned for updates on our program expansion!
