Hello Thursday.
March 28 2024
Looking for the perfect gift for your Nooga-obsessed loved ones this year? Luckily for those with major Chatt pride, we’re kicking off the holiday season with the launch of 6AM Rewards — our new loyalty and referral program — that can be used for exclusive rewards from The 6AM Shop.
Now until midnight on Mon., Nov. 30, every dollar you spend in The 6AM Shop earns 3x the points — that's 15 points (instead of the usual 5) per dollar spent on Nooga-inspired sweatshirts, art, coffee mugs + more — all designed by local creatives.
Learn how to earn points and redeem rewards points here.
Featuring work from Chattanooga-based creatives, a portion of proceeds from swag purchased in The 6AM Shop goes directly to those local designers. Shopping local and earning rewards to redeem for more local merch in the future? We call that a win-win.
Happy shopping (and earning), Nooga.
