Macy's Black Friday sale is a 7-day, once-a-year event that advertises deals up to 70% off (but we've seen higher).
Every year Macy's outdoes themselves with their official weeklong Black Friday sale. But you'll see great deals leading up to it as well. Shoppers typically have early access to an initial wave of offers during the two weeks prior to the event. Ultimately it’s a ploy to get shoppers back in the store, online, and on the Macy’s app.
The next Macy’s Black Friday Sale will begin Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024.
Macy’s flew out of the gate early announcing their Black Friday Sale, which will run from Sunday, Nov. 24, through Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024.
ALL Macy's Black Friday deals are available online.
If you're just not an IRL shopper these days, don't worry — each of Macy's Black Friday deals is available at Macy's.com.
Doorbusters are no longer a thing for Macy's Black Friday.
Mac's doesn't do the exclusive in-store doorbuster thing anymore. However, they do have some great Black Friday bonus offers, like $29.99 diamond studs with any qualifying $25 purchase. But these are available both in-store and online.
Macy's Star Rewards members earn rewards on purchases but don't get early access to Black Friday.
If you shop Macy's at all, we highly recommend you sign up for their Star Rewards program. It's free to join and allows you to earn points on qualifying purchases, which lead to Star Cash you can use on future orders. But being a Star Rewards member won't get you early access to Macy's Black Friday — that starts at the same time for everyone.
Macy's stores are closed on Thanksgiving.
Every year since 2020 Macy's has closed on Thanksgiving allowing for employees to spend time with their families.
Macy's stores open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.
Not only does Macy's open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, they're extending their hours later as well. To meet the rush of holiday shoppers, most Macy's locations will close at 11 p.m. that day.
These are the top things KCL shoppers bought at Macy's on Black Friday 2023.

Here’s the deal on Macy's policies on Black Friday:
Price Matching: Sadly, Macy's doesn't price match competitors on Black Friday or during any other special events.
Rain Checks: You won't be able to get a rain check at Macy's, not even if you ask really, really nicely. They just don't issue those.
Shipping: Shipping is always free on orders over $25 for Silver and Bronze members of the Macy’s Star Rewards loyalty program. For Platinum and Gold members, shipping is free with no minimum when you use your Macy’s card to make a purchase. For everyone else, a purchase of $49+ is needed to land free shipping. Store pickup is always free for everyone.
Returns: Most purchases made on or after Oct. 7, 2024 at Macy's or macys.com are eligible for return until Jan. 31, 2025 to accommodate holiday shopping. You can find the exceptions to this extended return window (which include gourmet food products and gift cards) on macys.com.
Macy's no longer offers layaway during the holiday season, but they do have a payment plan option through Klarna.
Macy's phased out their layaway option years ago. However, they do offer Klarna, with which you can pay off a purchase in four automated payments every two weeks.
Macy's Cyber Monday deals begin the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Out with the old deals and in with the new, Macy's Cyber Monday sale takes the place of their Black Friday sale on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. In 2024 that means it starts on Dec. 1.
Tips for Shopping Macy's Black Friday Sale
Use a 20% off coupon from the Macy's Black Friday ad.
Every year since 2019, Macy’s includes one or two coupons in their Black Friday ad. In 2020, they had one coupon for $10 off any $25 purchase, and another for $20 off any $50 purchase. From 2021 - 2023, Macy’s offered an extra 20% off coupon. Note that you can’t stack the coupon with Specials or Bonus Offers.
Get $10 in Macy’s Money by requesting no-hurry shipping.
In years past, Macy’s offered $10 in Macy’s Money for anyone who chose no-hurry shipping (minimum $25 on your order). Like with the Macy’s Money earning period, I’ve only seen the no-hurry shipping offer around Black Friday.
“No Hurry” shipping means that instead of getting your order in 3 – 6 days, it’ll arrive in 6 – 9 days.
Expect “Diamond Bonus Buy” jewelry at 85% off the regular price — that’s typically the best deal of Macy’s Black Friday.
Macy’s “Diamond Bonus Buy” jewelry is consistently among the best value you can get during their Black Friday sale.
Once again in 2023 they offered diamond earrings for just $29.99 (regularly on sale for $200) when you make any $25 purchase. That’s an 85% savings.
By the way, Macy’s limits the amount of bonus buys you can take home. It’s a limit of 10 per customer in stores or one online.
Skip long lines on Black Friday with “Macy’s Pay,” available to Macy's cardholders.
Macy’s cardholders, did you know you have an exclusive feature in your app that allows you to skip the lines? It’s called Macy’s Pay.
If you haven’t already, download the Macy’s app and sign in to your account. Tap “Store Mode,” scan items you want to buy as you’re shopping, and then pay through the app with a unique barcode.
You’ll visit a designated Scan & Pay Checkout to get security tags removed and find bags for your items.
If you’re a Macy’s cardholder, save your 25% off Star Rewards coupon for Black Friday.
Truthfully, Star Rewards is only exciting if you’re a Macy’s cardholder. Cardholders get up to 25% off any day with a Star Pass once they reach 1,000 points.
Once you reach that point, save that 25% off coupon to use on Black Friday for something you really want. However, you can’t stack it with other coupons like the ones found in their Black Friday ad.
