Use a Return Verification System.
Yes, Joann does use a return verification system. This system is designed to help prevent fraud and abuse, and to ensure that only authorized customers are able to return items.
When you return an item to Joann, the store associate will check your purchase history with the return verification system. If the system shows that you are authorized to make the return, the associate will issue you a refund.
Joann’s return verification system uses a variety of data points to verify customer identity and purchase history, including:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Email address
- Purchase date
- Item purchased
- Return date
- Reason for return
Joann also uses machine learning to identify patterns of fraudulent behavior. For example, the return verification system may flag a customer who has returned a large number of items in the past or who has returned items to multiple Joann locations in a short period of time.
Joann’s return verification system helps to protect the company from fraud and abuse, and it also helps to ensure that legitimate customers are able to return items without any problems.
