Tips for Shopping Macy's After-Christmas Sale
1. Macy’s After-Christmas Sale is less about timing and more about the department.
A lot of Christmas clearance sales are graduated. That means that as time goes on, the store follows a regular schedule that will gradually decrease the price on any remaining inventory, starting out with a low percentage off more items, and ending with a high percentage off fewer items.
Macy’s is an exception to this rule. They roll out their best clearance prices all at once, no further need for a calendar.
The discounts do vary by department, though, from 50% - 80% off:
-
The highest discounts (up to 80% off) are usually on winter formalwear (it's the end of the season, after all).
-
Home decor usually sees 60% - 75% off.
-
Bedding is generally 60% off.
-
Beauty can be up to 50% off, but mostly holiday gift and fragrance sets.
2. The Macy’s After-Christmas discount is 50% - 80% off.
Technically, you’ll find some discounts at Macy’s that start at 20% off which is … meh. Because you could find that on on any given Tuesday. The really good stuff that makes up the meaningful part of the After-Christmas sale is 50% - 80% off.
Last year we saw some big-time deals, like Yankee Candle 3-wick candles for $8.73 (regularly $26.50), a Bionik DreamGear Essentials Bundle for Nintendo Switch at $7.46 (regularly $24.99), and a Bella Popcorn Popper for around $10 (regularly $30).
3. Use a promo code for an extra 10% - 20% off coupon (the discount varies by department).
As if 50% - 80% off weren’t enough, Macy’s is known for issuing an additional 10% - 20% off coupon. This is notable because not all Macy’s coupons can be used on clearance merchandise, but this coupon offered during the After-Christmas Sale is built for it. You can access this coupon if you’re a Star Rewards member or if you receive Macy’s mailers. Other times the coupon code is right up there in a banner at the top of the Macy’s homepage.
The 20% off coupon is a graduated discount depending on which department you’re shopping.
4. Earn rewards points on your purchase by joining Macy’s Star Rewards.
There are two ways to join Macy’s Star Rewards: there’s the free way, and then the credit card way.
The free way gives you one point for every dollar you spend, which is essentially 1% cash back on all your purchases, including the ones you make during the Macy’s After-Christmas sale. You have to spend $1,000 to earn a $10 Star Money Reward.
The deal gets sweeter if you have a Macy’s credit card; you receive 2% rewards with no spending threshold, 3% rewards after you’ve spent $500, and so on. But then you’ll have a credit card, which could cost you a whole lot more in interest than you’re earning in rewards if you’re not careful.
5. Look for deals on artificial trees — we've seen them for up to 80% off.
Every year, we’ve found $100 trees for as low as $20 in the days after Christmas at Macy’s. Other items you’re likely to see at 80% off are ornaments and holiday decor.
