Saving at Macy's

Many, but not all, Macy’s stores are located inside of malls. That means the hours of each store are variable depending on the mall schedule.

Generally speaking, most malls and Macy’s stores open sometime between 8 am and 11 am depending on the day of the week. Closing times are usually anywhere between 7 pm and 10 pm depending on location.

Macy’s will price match Macys.com. They will also price match the following retailers’ online pricing:

• Belk

• Bloomingdale’s

• Create & Barrel

• Dillards

• Kohl’s

• Neiman Marcus

• Nordstrom

• Saks Fifth Avenue

• Sur La Table

• Williams & Sonoma

Macy’s price adjustment policy gives you 10 days after purchase to claim a refund if you find a lower price – as long as you didn’t use a promo code to make your purchase. You have 14 days for iPhones and 30 days for all other Apple products.

The Macy’s return policy gives you 90 days to return items – with or without a receipt. If you make a return without a receipt, you will need to bring the original tags with you to make the return.

Receiptless returns get refunded in store credit for the lowest selling price of the item in the last 180 days. That means you might not get all of your money back. But at least you’ll get something.

You’ll want to check your individual location, but by and large, Macy’s stores open at 6am on Black Friday. And they typically stay open until midnight.

Macy’s biannual beauty sale – 10 Days of Glam – ran its first leg August 12, 2022 through August 21, 2022. Fall dates are yet to be announced, but for the past several years we’ve seen it run in mid- to late-October.

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 sales holidays like Black Friday. You’ll earn $10 in Macy’s Money for every $50 you spend, with a maximum of $40 in Macy’s Money. 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.
