Throughout the year, you'll find a lot of JCPenney coupons offering an extra 20% off here or an extra 25% off there. Those are cool, but they aren't as enticing as the coupon that pops up during the JCPenney Mystery Sale, which is back April 16 - 19.
The value of this sale's in-store-only coupon varies between 30% - 50% off. Each store also has a Golden Coupon worth $60 off a purchase of $60+. Can't make it to a store? You can get up to 30% off online with code VIOLET.

Best JCPenney Mystery Sale Deals
The JCPenney Mystery Sale is a 4-times-a-year event where you get a Mystery Coupon — it typically lasts four days, with one exception.
JCPenney's Mystery Sale happens four times a year: March or April, August, October, and December. Typically you'll find that you have four days to use your Mystery Coupon. However, during the December event, you'll get a whopping seven days, based on what we've seen in the past.
The in-store coupons are for 30%, 40%, or 50% off your purchase (some exclusions apply). For the spring 2025 event, JCPenney will also have a Golden Coupon at each store, worth $60 off a purchase of $60 or more. Coupons will be available when doors open, until they run out.
The JCPenney Mystery Sale runs April 16 - 19, with coupon giveaways each day in stores.

Just like last year, the JCPenney Mystery sale is running the week leading up to Easter.
Check out how we got the in-store coupon on April 16!
Can I use two coupons at JCPenney?
Sorry, folks, that's a negative. You can't stack two coupons at JCPenney. However, you can use one coupon and one JCPenney Rewards voucher in a single transaction. That's as good a reason as any to sign up for a free JCP Rewards account, where you'll receive one rewards point for every $1 spent. Once you hit 200 points, there's a $10 reward coming your way.
The best coupons are available in stores only, but you can get 30% off online
The coupons will be handed out at the door, and the possible values are 30%, 40%, or 50% off, or $60 off a purchase of $60 or more. If you're shopping online, you can use the promo code for 30% off.
If you get the in-store coupon, you can use it online if you prefer (the online promo code is printed on the coupon). So you might just want to pick it up at a store and then shop online with it, if that's more convenient.
What about coupons on JCPenney clearance?
You can't use the mystery coupon on JCPenney clearance, which is indeed a bummer. But use JCPenney savings hacks to make the most of this sale and save on everything in your JCP cart.
