The Macy’s Black Friday sale is one of our favorites each year. After a wave of early deals in mid-November, their official sale usually runs the Sunday before Black Friday through the Saturday after Black Friday (then switches to the Macy’s Cyber Monday sale on Sunday — the day before Cyber Monday).
Deals are available in-store and only (although, they'll be closed on Thanksgiving Day). Early Black Friday deals at Macy’s are up to 70% off and they add new deals when the official Black Friday week sale begins along with an extra 20% off coupon.
Use our new Deal Planner™ feature in the free Krazy Coupon Lady app to set alerts for all the Black Friday sales! We'll remind you when they start so you don't miss out. Download the KCL app now. And take a look at all the Macy's Black Friday deals.
Macy's Black Friday 2025 sale is a weeklong 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.
KCL predicts the next Macy’s Black Friday sale will begin on Nov. 23, 2025.
Black Friday deals typically start the Sunday before Black Friday at Macy’s. That’ll put us at Sunday, Nov. 23 in 2025. We do see early deals from Macy’s a couple weeks beforehand, so expect Macy’s early Black Friday deals on or around Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025.

Doorbusters are no longer a thing for Macy's Black Friday.
Macy's doesn't do the exclusive in-store doorbuster thing anymore. However, they do have some great Black Friday bonus offers, like 75% off 14K gold jewelry
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 that KCL shoppers bought at Macy’s on Black Friday 2024.

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 or more is needed to land free shipping. Store pickup is always free.
Returns: We predict that purchases made on or after Oct. 6, 2025 at Macy's or Macys.com will be eligible for return until Jan. 31, 2026 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 2025, that means it’ll start on Nov. 30.
Use a 20% off coupon from the Macy's Black Friday ad.
Macy's will likely have a special coupon that gets you 10% or 20% off, depending on the department. The Black Friday ad has a bar code that you can use in-store. Online, look for items marked as special deals and you'll get the discount in your cart.
Note that you can’t stack the coupon with Specials or Bonus Offers.
Look for "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 2024, they offered diamond earrings for just $29.99 (regularly on sale for $200) when you make any $25 purchase. That’s an 85% savings.
KCL TIP: 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.
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.
