Bath & Body Works Member Fest: How to Shop the Members-Only Sale

Home

Tips

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 Days (also sometimes called Member Fest or Member Appreciation Days), happening twice a year for rewards members only. We usually see it in May and August, but the 2026 fall sale happened in September (Sept. 14-16).

While the deals vary every sale, you can usually expect a free 3-wick with $50 purchase, BOG deals, as well as bonus point offers.

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 Fest is a nice addition to the Bath & Body Works sale schedule.

What is Member Days?
How to Join & Shop the Sale

Bath & Body Works Member 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 Days (it's also been called Member Fest and 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.

To get the deals, you need to be a rewards member. If you're shopping online, just make sure you're signed in. If you're shopping in a store, you can give your phone number at checkout or show your rewards barcode on your phone.

During past sales, we've seen:

100-point bonus when you redeem rewards points
Full-size mist and 3-wick candle for $17.95 (in select scents). Normally, you'd pay $45.90 for a 3-wick and a full-size fragrance mist, so you saved 61% with this bundle.
$12.95 throwback totes (includes a mini tote keychain).
FREE 3-wick candle when you spend $50 or more. Normally a 3-wick costs $26.95.
$5.95 '90s throwback body care. At full price, full-size body care costs $16.95 or $18.95, so it was a savings of up to 68%.
3X rewards points, which got you closer to the 1,000 points needed to get a free item worth up to $18.95.

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.
