Macy’s offers a variety of ways to maximize your money while shopping. Here are some of the best ways to save aside from earning Cash Back.
Macy’s Friends and Family Sale
Macy’s holds its Friends and Family Sale twice a year, typically in March or April and October or November, during which customers can take an extra 30% off basically everything, including regular-price items, sale items and clearance items. Unlike most sales, you can use the discount on designer brands that typically are excluded from promotions, such as Ralph Lauren.
Macy’s One Day Sale
Macy’s One Day Sale typically occurs once per month (often on Saturdays) and features deep discounts on select categories including home goods, apparel and accessories.
Dedicated Deals and Promotions Page
Macy’s puts all of its latest deals in one convenient place: its Deals and Promotions page. More deals become available as we get closer to Black Friday, so bookmark the page for easy access.
Early Black Friday Deals
Macy’s usually puts out its Black Friday deals a few days early. Check the Deals and Promotions page and the Macy’s homepage, and sign up for Macy’s emails to stay in the know when these hot deals go live.
Free In-Store Pickup
If you live close to a Macy’s store, you can shop online and use the free in-store pickup service for added convenience. You’ll be able to take advantage of online-only deals and promo codes, skip the crowds and pick up your order at your local store with no extra charge. Another option: Select curbside pickup, and a Macy’s employee will drop your order directly into your trunk.

Macy’s Money Deals
Watch for these deals before Black Friday to maximize your money. With Macy’s Money deals, the more you buy, the more you get back. Typically, you’ll get $10 back in Macy’s Money for every $50 you spend. You can use your Macy’s Money on future purchases, including on designer brands, cosmetics and fragrances.
