Bath & Body Works shoppers tend to be loyal and in the know about every single Bath & Body Works hack out there. With that in mind, the retailer reciprocates the love with Bath & Body Works Member Fest (also called Member Appreciation Days), happening twice a year for rewards members only.
We last saw the sale May, and Bath & Body Works announced in their app it'll be back Aug. 25. Based on the app teaser, you can expect discounts on throwback scents and even a free 3-wick candle when you spend a certain amount (we're confirming the details).
The one gripe we have with the weeklong deals is that you can't stack a free ship code with other Bath & Body Works coupons when you're shopping online. Still, Member Appreciation Days are a nice addition to the Bath & Body Works sale schedule.

Bath & Body Works Member Appreciation Days is a twice-yearly weeklong event where Rewards members have access to exclusive deals.
Starting in 2023, Bath & Body Works began hosting the weeklong Member Appreciation Days to thank Rewards members for, well, being members of the rewards program. In 2024, they upped the sale's frequency to twice a year — happening in both May and August. Not a rewards member yet? You can join for free.

Bath & Body Works Rewards is free to join.
If you aren’t already a Bath & Body Works rewards member, it’s completely free to join. Plus, you earn 10 points for every $1 you spend at Bath & Body Works (online and in stores). Once you hit 1,000 points, you’re eligible for a free product of your choosing (up to $16.95 in value). Basically, for every $100 you spend, you’ll get a full-size freebie. Points only expire after 365 days if you haven't had a single Bath & Body Works transaction within that time. Otherwise, you can keep accumulating points until you hit that reward threshold no matter how long it takes.
Now keep in mind that if you return an item, the points you earned from that purchase will be deducted from your account balance. Fair is fair.
But it isn’t just those rewards points that are great; you also get access to new products first. For example, when Bath & Body Works dropped its new laundry line in 2023, members could purchase Bath & Body Works laundry detergent during an early access sale. Plus, each bottle was just $11.95 (regularly $19.95).
Use free in-store pickup to avoid shipping fees.
Bath & Body Works free shipping isn't so easy to find, especially without a steep order threshold to meet. If your store offers free in-store pickup on the products you want, choose that to avoid the $6.99 shipping charge.
