Macy’s Money is a lot like Kohl’s Cash, except there are fewer opportunities to rack up savings.
The first way you can earn Macy’s Money is by shopping during "earning periods."
Usually, there are about two of these periods per year, and they usually happen during holiday sales like Black Friday. You’ll earn $10 in Macy’s Money for every $50 you spend, with a maximum of $40 earnings. You’ll then be able to spend your Macy’s Money at a later date, during the designated "spending period."
The other way to earn Macy’s Money is by joining Macy’s Star Rewards. But honestly, you have to spend $1,000 before you earn $10 in Macy’s Money this way. So it might not even be worth the extra effort unless you’re a Macy’s regular.
