Does Bath & Body Works have a rewards program

Yes. My Bath & Body Works Rewards is Bath & Body Works’ loyalty program. It’s designed to be low-effort: earn points on eligible purchases, then trade them in for free products.

Beyond points, members also get perks like a welcome offer, an annual birthday surprise, and member-only offers.

How to join My Bath & Body Works Rewards

Joining is quick. You can sign up online or download the mobile app—either way, you’re creating the same account. (If you like having everything in one place—rewards, offers, gift cards—the app is the easy button.)

What happens after you sign up

• Welcome offer: New reward members get $10 off a $30 purchase. It arrives within 72 hours of registering and is valid for 30 days.
• Birthday perk: Members get an annual birthday surprise.
• App bonus: Download the app and earn 300 bonus points.

What info you’ll need

• Name and email
• Phone number (helpful for in-store lookup)
• Birthday (so you can receive birthday perks when offered)

Pro tip: If you’re signing up mid-shopping spree, open a new tab and check today’s Bath & Body Works promo codes on Groupon before you place your first order.

How Bath & Body Works points work

The math is simple: $1 = 10 points. Once you earn 1,000 points, you can redeem them for a free product up to $18.95.

Points are typically based on your eligible spend: you’ll earn points on the product total after discounts and before taxes (and you won’t earn points on things like shipping, handling, or gift card purchases).

Quick example: Spend $42 after discounts and you’ll earn 420 points.

Earning online

• Make sure you’re logged in when you check out so the purchase credits to your account.
• Keep an eye on your points in your account/app—posting times can vary, but they’re not usually instant.

Earning in-store

• Give your phone number at checkout or have your account/app ready to scan.
• If you forget to identify your account at checkout, it can be harder (or impossible) to get credit later—so make it part of your routine like grabbing a basket.

What counts as an eligible purchase

Think “what you paid for the products,” not “what the receipt says after everything.” For example:

• If your items are $50, but a discount drops your total to $42, you’ll typically earn points on the $42 (the amount paid for products after discounts).
• If your items are $25 and tax brings it to $26.81, you’ll typically earn points on the $25 (tax doesn’t usually earn points).

How to redeem Bath & Body Works Rewards

Once you hit 1,000 points, you can redeem for a free item up to the reward’s value cap (commonly promoted as up to $18.95). You’ll redeem either in your online cart/checkout flow or by using your reward in-store via your account/app.

Redeeming online

• Sign in to your account.
• Add eligible items to your cart.
• Apply your reward during checkout (your account will guide you through the available reward/offer options).

Redeeming in-store

• Open the app/wallet (or have your account info ready).
• Tell the associate you want to use your reward and follow the on-screen redemption steps.

Perks you’ll actually use

$10 welcome offer for new members

New reward members get $10 off a $30 purchase. It arrives within 72 hours of registering and is valid for 30 days. If you want to maximize it, pair it with a promo code from Groupon’s Bath & Body Works coupons page before you check out.

Annual birthday surprise

Members get an annual birthday surprise. Add a reminder now—future you will absolutely forget otherwise.

Early access and member-only offers

Bath & Body Works promotes extra member perks like exclusive offers or early access opportunities at various times. These tend to matter most during big drops and major sale events (when the good scents disappear first).

Why the mobile app is worth it

• Members-only perks: Get access to exclusive deals and promotions
• In-app wallet convenience: Rewards, offers, and gift cards in one place
• Exclusive content: Quizzes and other app extras that make it easier to discover new favorites
• Fewer missed perks: It’s easier to notice expiring rewards/offers
• Smoother in-store checkout: You can pull up your account quickly
• Point tracking: You’ll always know how close you are to the next freebie

Rules to know before you plan your “free item” haul

Do rewards expire

Many Bath & Body Works offers and rewards come with an expiration date (often shown directly in your wallet/app). If you’re saving up for the perfect scent, make a habit of checking the expiration date attached to the reward itself so it doesn’t vanish on you at the worst possible time.

Can you use rewards with coupons

In many cases, you can combine a reward with other offers—but the fine print can affect which items the discount applies to and whether the reward item counts toward minimum spend requirements. When you’re trying to stack deals, your safest move is:

• Apply the coupon/promo to paid items
• Use the reward on a separate eligible item (up to the reward cap)
• Double-check your cart totals before placing the order

What if you need to return an item you got with a reward

Return and exchange policies can vary based on what you purchased and how you redeemed your reward. If you’re redeeming for a gift or trying a new scent, keep your receipt/order info and confirm the current return policy at the time of purchase.

More ways to save at Bath & Body Works

• Start with Bath & Body Works promo codes on Groupon before you checkout.
• If shipping costs are your deal-breaker, look for a Bath & Body Works free shipping promo code (free shipping offers are usually tied to a minimum spend).
• Want to time your buys like a pro? Keep an eye on the Bath & Body Works sales calendar so you can stock up when prices dip.
