Macy's Coupons & Promo Codes
Macy's does issue promo codes, but they almost always come with a long list of exclusions. Premium brands, beauty and fragrance, furniture, mattresses, and electronics are typically ineligible for percent-off discounts. The most common codes offer a percentage off regular, sale, and clearance items in specific categories like apparel or home goods. The real savings strategy involves applying these codes to already-reduced sale prices and combining them with 'Star Money' earned through their loyalty program.

Macy's discounts that work every day
Codes come and go. These are the standing programmes that are available whether or not a code is live, and for most shoppers they are worth more than a one-off code.
| Offer | Typical value | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Macy's Star Rewards | 1-5% back in rewards ('Star Money'), plus exclusive coupons | Sign up for free (Bronze tier). To earn at higher rates, you must apply for and use a Macy's credit card. Rewards are issued as 'Star Money' once you reach a certain threshold.Higher tiers require a Macy's card and significant annual spend. Star Money expires, so you need to use it within the specified window. |
| Email & Text Signup Offer | Typically 25% off your next order | Sign up for Macy's marketing emails and or text messages on their website. A unique code is sent to you.This one-time use code carries the same significant brand exclusions as other Macy's coupons. It is not valid on most beauty, electronics, or premium brands. |
| Military & Veterans Discount | A percentage off, typically during select promotional periods | During specific events (like Veterans Day week), Macy's offers a discount to active military, veterans, and their families, usually requiring in-store validation.This is not a year-round, standing discount. It's offered only during specific promotional windows a few times a year. |
| Sale & Clearance | Discounts up to 60-80% | Shop the 'Sale' and 'Clearance' sections online. In stores, look for 'Last Act' merchandise with red tags for the deepest, final markdowns.Last Act items are often final sale and cannot be returned. |
How to actually save at Macy's
Macy's is one of America's most iconic department stores, known for its massive semi-annual sales, holiday events, and a strong loyalty program. Saving money at Macy's is less about finding a single powerful code and more about strategically shopping its famous sales and stacking rewards with coupons that often have significant brand exclusions.
- Join Star Rewards even if you don't get the credit card. The free Bronze tier still earns 1% back in rewards, gives you a birthday surprise, and makes returns easier.
- Stack your savings. The best deals come from using a percentage-off coupon on an item that is already on sale, then paying with Star Money rewards you've earned.
- Wait for a Friends & Family sale to buy beauty or fragrances. These events happen a few times a year and are one of the only times you'll see a blanket discount (like 15%) on those categories.
- Always check the coupon exclusion list. Before you start shopping, read the fine print on a promo code to see which brands are excluded to avoid surprises at checkout.
- Shop the 'One Day Sale' events. These happen roughly once a month and often feature prices that are as good as or better than Black Friday on specific items.
When Macy's actually discounts
Timing beats codes at most retailers. This is Macy's’s real markdown pattern.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Friends & Family Sales (April, September, December) | Major events offering deep discounts (often 25-30%) across most departments, and rare discounts (like 15%) on cosmetics and fragrances. |
| One Day Sales (monthly) | These 48-hour events (despite the name) happen about once a month, usually on a weekend, with steep discounts on rotating categories. |
| Black Friday (November) & Black Friday in July | Macy's biggest sales of the year, with 'doorbuster' deals on everything from small appliances to coats and boots. The sale often starts weeks in advance online. |
| Semi-Annual Sales (January & July) | These post-holiday clearance events offer deep markdowns on home goods, linens, and lingerie. |
Macy's coupon questions
- Can you stack coupons at Macy's?
- Sometimes. You can typically use one promo code (like a percent-off coupon) per order. However, you can combine that promo code with rewards like Star Money and free shipping offers. You generally cannot stack multiple percent-off codes.
- What is Macy's Star Rewards?
- It's Macy's free loyalty program. Anyone can join the Bronze level to earn 1% back in rewards. If you have a Macy's credit card, you can reach Silver, Gold, or Platinum tiers by spending more, which unlocks higher reward rates (up to 5% back) and perks like free shipping.
- What are Macy's coupon exclusions?
- Macy's coupons almost always exclude premium brands (like UGG or Coach), cosmetics and fragrances, electronics, furniture, mattresses, and gift cards. The Friends & Family sale is a notable exception, often including a discount on beauty.
- How can I get free shipping at Macy's?
- Macy's typically offers free shipping on orders over a certain threshold (commonly $49, but it can change). Macy's Star Rewards members at the Platinum and Gold tiers get free shipping with no minimum spend. Picking up your order in-store is another free option.
- What is a Macy's One Day Sale?
- It's a major sales event that happens about once a month. Despite the name, it usually lasts for 48 hours, plus an online preview day. They feature deep, limited-time discounts on a wide range of products, similar to Black Friday deals.

How we check Macy's codes
Most of the money at Macy's sits in loyalty mechanics rather than in a checkout code, so this page is built around verifying those against macys.com’s own published terms and treats codes as the smaller half of the story. Any code we do list came from a page we can point at, and carries the date we last saw it.
When a shopper reports a code worked or failed at checkout, that vote is recorded and moves the code up or down this page. We publish the failures next to the successes, because a page showing only wins is not telling you the truth about coupon codes, most of which do not work. Codes that keep failing come down rather than stay up collecting clicks. Need something more current? Run a live search for Macy's.
