Macys Coupon & Promo Code December 2025

How to Maximize Your Savings at Macy's

Macy's has turned saving money into an art form, and honestly, they make it pretty easy to win at their game. Between active promo codes, a killer loyalty program, and some seriously generous shipping policies, there are more ways to save than you can shake a shopping bag at. Whether you're hunting for holiday deals or just trying to make your regular shopping budget go further, here's how to squeeze every penny of value out of your Macy's experience.

Apply a Macy's Promo Code, Step by Step

Getting your discount to show up at checkout is straightforward once you know where to look. Macy's makes it pretty obvious, but here's the exact process to make sure you don't miss out on any savings.

1. Add items to your shopping bag and click the bag icon when you're ready to check out
2. Review your items and click "Checkout" to proceed to the payment page
3. Look for the "Promo Code" field on the right side of your order summary
4. Enter your code exactly as shown — no extra spaces or characters
5. Click "Apply" and watch your total drop before completing your purchase

If your code isn't working, double-check that your items are eligible — some exclusions apply to clearance items, gift cards, and select brands. Also, make sure you're meeting any minimum purchase requirements. Most codes work on regular and already-reduced prices, but always verify the terms before you get too excited about your savings.

Unlock Star Rewards Member Benefits

The Star Rewards program is where Macy's really shows off, and it's completely free to join at the Bronze level. You'll earn 1 point per $1 spent, and every 1,000 points converts to $10 in Star Money that you can spend on anything except gift cards and services.

Here's where it gets interesting: if you get a Macy's credit card, you're automatically bumped to Silver status and earn 2 points per $1. Gold members (who spend $500-$1,199 annually with the card) earn 3 points per $1, while Platinum members ($1,200+ annually) earn a whopping 5 points per $1.

The real magic happens during Star Money Bonus Days, when you can earn $20 in Star Money for every $100 spent on eligible brands. That's essentially getting 20% back to spend later, which is pretty incredible math. Plus, all members get a birthday surprise, and cardholders get access to exclusive Star Passes for additional savings throughout the year.

Master Macy's Shipping Game

Macy's shipping setup is actually pretty generous, especially if you know how to work the system. Right now through December 21st, everyone gets free shipping at $25 — no membership required. That's a temporary holiday perk that makes small purchases way more appealing.

Normally, all Star Rewards members get free shipping on orders of $39 or more when not using a Macy's credit card. But here's the insider move: Silver members get free shipping at $25 when they use their Macy's card, while Gold and Platinum members get free shipping with no minimum when using their card.

Need something today? Same-day delivery costs $15 for orders over $25 (or $25.95 for smaller orders) if you place your order by noon and you're in an eligible zip code. It's available in select areas only, but when you need that last-minute outfit or gift, it's a lifesaver.

Score the Best Deals During Holiday Sales

Macy's holiday deals are running hot right now, and they're not messing around with the discounts. You're looking at 30% off best brands, 15% off beauty, and up to 60% off coats — perfect timing since winter's here. The bedding and bath category is seeing 60-75% off, which is basically like getting premium sheets for the price of basic ones.

The Ralph Lauren section is featuring 30% off select styles, while Michael Kors items are 25% off through December 11th. Jewelry lovers can score 40-70% off sparkling pieces for the holidays, plus there's a bonus offer where you can get diamond earrings or a pendant for $39.99 (regularly $250) with any $25 purchase.

Black Friday deals are extending well into the holiday season, so you're not stuck shopping on one crazy day. The extended return window (purchases made starting October 6, 2025, can be returned until January 31, 2026) means you can buy now during peak sales and return later if needed.

Maximize the Beauty Box Subscription

The Macy's Beauty Box is honestly one of the best deals they offer. For $15 per month, you get products worth $93 — that's over 6x the value. Next month features Shiseido favorites, which tells you they're not filling these boxes with random samples.

The real bonus? You get a monthly coupon with each box, so you're essentially getting paid to try new products. It's like having a beauty fairy godmother who also gives you discount codes. If you're already spending money on skincare and makeup, this subscription practically pays for itself.

Save 30% with Credit Card Perks

The Macy's credit card strategy is pretty smart if you're going to shop there regularly anyway. New cardholders get 30% off online purchases on the day they're approved (20% in stores), with up to $100 in total savings. That's basically getting paid to start a relationship with them.

The American Express version gives you rewards outside Macy's too: 3 points per $1 at restaurants, 2 points per $1 at supermarkets and gas stations, and 1 point per $1 everywhere else. It's like getting rewarded for living your normal life while also earning better perks at Macy's.

Extended Holiday Returns Until January 31, 2026

Macy's return policy is surprisingly generous, especially during the holidays. The standard 30-day return window has been extended — purchases made starting October 6, 2025, can be returned until January 31, 2026. That's nearly four months of flexibility for holiday shopping.

Star Rewards members get free return shipping, while non-members pay a $9.99 return shipping fee. Store returns are always free for everyone. They'll even accept opened cosmetics and fragrances if they don't work for you, which is pretty rare in retail.

Items need to be in original condition with tags, and shipping fees aren't refundable. The policy doesn't cover gift cards, food items, or large furniture pieces, but for regular clothing and accessories, you're covered.
