The Bath & Body Works Rewards program gives shoppers the highest value of any national loyalty or rewards program on the market today. And we know rewards programs. Getting 18.95% back in value is not only the best reason to join, but also the best reason to shop. And isn’t that the point? Well played, B&BW.
The main draw of the program is a free item for every 1,000 points you earn. And in May 2025, Bath & Body Works upped the value of that freebie from $16.95 to $18.95.
Plus, Bath & Body Works offers “accelerator promotions." This means during select promotions, rewards members can earn 2x or 3x points on purchases, offering opportunities to earn points and rewards even faster. For example, during the spring Member Appreciation Days sale in May 2025, we saw an accelerator promo for 3X points on any purchase.
Oh, and if you haven’t yet, download The Krazy Coupon Lady app and set Bath & Body Works as a favorite store. We’ll alert you with all the latest Bath & Body Works coupons and deals.
You get a freebie worth up to $18.95 when you spend $100.
Members earn 10 points per $1 spent, and once you accumulate 1,000 points, you’ll get a freebie valued at $18.95 or less. (Note that you can’t apply the $18.95 to a higher-priced item, and sale prices aren’t included.) In other words, you get $18.95 back for every $100 spent (you can think of that as an 18.95% return on your spending).
Some fragrance mists and exfoliating body washes are $18.95, so that's what to go for if you want to maximize this freebie. But plenty of aromatherapy items, body creams, and body washes are priced at $15.95 - $17.95, so you have plenty of options. Sort by price (high to low) to quickly find items below the $18.95 threshold.
To earn the freebie, you must reach the $100 qualifying spend on your total out-of-pocket expense. That means if you spend $100 and use a $10 off coupon, you won’t quite have earned your first reward.
The B&BW app (iOS / Android) is the easiest way to earn and spend points at Bath & Body Works. You can also access “My Rewards Wallet” when logged in to BathandBodyWorks.com.
You get a $10 off $30 coupon just for signing up for the rewards program.
Get a $10 off $30 Bath & Body Works coupon when you join. The coupon is delivered within 72 hours, and it expires 30 days after you receive it. Make sure you sign up for My Bath & Body Rewards at least three days before Black Friday, Candle Day, or the Semi-Annual Sale.
And if you get greedy, remember it’s one coupon per account. I can already see the Bath & Body Works app icon on your partner’s phone …
Rewards members get a birthday gift worth up to $9.50.
Get a free birthday item with any Bath & Body Works purchase just for being a member of the Bath & Body Works Rewards program. The birthday reward entitles you to a free body care item with a regular price up to $9.50 (it used to be just $7.50; however, they upped the value in 2023). Choose from travel-size hand or body creams, lotions, or shower gels.
The Bath & Body Works birthday freebie reward begins on your actual birthday and is valid for 30 days after.
You must make a purchase in order to redeem the coupon, and the coupon won’t stack with sales. So if travel-size creams are on sale buy 2 get 1 free, you would have to buy four items in order to use your free item coupon and still get the free item as part of the buy 2 get 1 free sale.
You can shop online OR in stores to earn points.
The Bath & Body Works Rewards program allows you to earn points by shopping in-store and online.
When you order online, you’ll earn points towards free items. Just log in to your rewards account, or shop using the email address registered with your Bath & Body Works Rewards account, and it'll automatically give you the points.
Shopping in a store? The registers at Bath & Body Works are smart. When I pay with my credit card, it pulls up my account. My cashier always thanks me by name and lets me know my points have been added to my account. If it doesn’t work that way for you or you’re paying another way, the cashier can take your phone number in order to link your purchase to your rewards account.
In addition to those methods above, you also have the option to open the Bath & Body Works app and show the cashier the barcode in your wallet. My store has horrible reception, so I like to open up my barcode and take a screenshot of it.
You can redeem your free product rewards in-store or online.
Now that the program is available nationwide (since 2022), everyone can redeem their rewards in-store, which is lucky for us because you don’t have to contend with trying to find Bath & Body Works free shipping.
You can redeem your reward for a free item online too, and you can ship to any store that offers in-store pickup.
Nobody wants to pay the $6.99 shipping charge that accompanies every Bath & Body Works order. Luckily, free item rewards are valid for 90 days after you receive them. That’s likely enough time to stumble across a free shipping code with an order of $50 or more.
Rewards can’t be stacked with sales or promos.
You know I tried. Bath & Body Works’ free item rewards must be used on a product with a retail value of $18.95 or less. This means you can’t buy two $8 items and call it your freebie. You also can’t use three free item rewards on a buy 3 get 1 free sale and get four items for free.
I’m not complaining. Just clarifying. A free product with no purchase required is fine by me.
You can redeem multiple (up to eight) rewards at once.
If you’ve stockpiled My Bath & Body Rewards points, they’ll let you use up to eight rewards in one transaction (one freebie worth up to $18.95 per reward). Make sure you tell the cashier when you’re ready to use your rewards.
Then when you scan your barcode at checkout, the register will automatically apply your available rewards to the highest-priced eligible items.
You'll get early access to Bath & Body Works’ top sales — like Candle Day — every year.
Rewards members get to shop the super-popular Candle Day sale, Body Care Day, and other sales before everyone else. Last year, Rewards members got a day of early access to the Candle Day sale all day in-store and online.
The rewards program also has accelerator promotions where you can earn either 2x or 3x points on a purchase.
In 2023, Bath & Body Works introduced accelerator promotions to their rewards programs. This means that during select promotional events, they offer 2x and 3x points on qualifying purchases. So say you spend $100 at Bath & Body Works, which reaps you 1,000 points and makes you eligible for a reward (a free item up to $18.95). During a 2X points promotion, you’d only have to spend $50 to hit 1,000 points to get a reward. Pretty exciting stuff.
