Macy’s doesn’t list a teacher discount in the part of its site we could read. Its promo codes article sends you to email sign-up, its Star Rewards FAQ describes a free points program, and ID.me says it isn’t aware that Macy’s offers Teachers discounts. What we found that pays is cash back: TopCashback lists up to 6%, Rakuten lists 2%, and Fluz lists 12% on a Macy’s gift card.
If you’re shopping Macy’s for the holidays, the gift card rules decide which route fits. TopCashback and Rakuten both exclude gift cards, and Fluz’s 12% comes only through a gift card, so a purchase earns from one of them and not the others.
How To Get The Macy’s Teacher Discount
There isn’t a teacher discount to claim on the Macy’s pages we read, and ID.me’s Macy’s teacher page says it isn’t aware that Macy’s offers Teachers discounts. The Help Center articles on promo codes, Star Rewards and pricing and promotions don’t mention teachers or educators in our read of them.
The route we could confirm is cash back. TopCashback’s Macy’s page says you get up to 6% of the price back with its Macy’s Cash Back offers. That’s an up-to figure, so the number you see at checkout may be lower. The button below goes to TopCashback.
What Each Cash Back Source Says
TopCashback lists purchases of gift cards, gift certificates, Apple products and select brands in various departments and stores like Finish Line at Macy’s as exclusions. It also lists use of a coupon code not displayed on TopCashback, and it says cash back is calculated only on the item price and doesn’t include taxes, shipping or other fees.
Rakuten lists 2% Cash Back for Macy’s, and says Furniture & Mattresses will earn 1.5% Cash Back. Its terms say cash back isn’t available on gift cards, gift certificates, orders from macyswineshop.com, books or leased brand items, along with some other categories and brands.
Fluz lists Macy’s gift cards with 12% cashback, and says anyone who creates a Fluz account can purchase a gift card. Since TopCashback and Rakuten both exclude gift cards, buying the card through Fluz is a separate choice from shopping through either of them.
The Other Offers We Found
Macy’s promo codes article says to sign up for emails, and that email subscribers receive exclusive promo codes and special offers and sales alerts. It adds that promo codes are often sent to email subscribers and may be time-limited, so check your inbox regularly for the latest offers. Nothing there is tied to teachers.
Macy’s Star Rewards FAQ says Star Rewards is a free loyalty program that lets you earn points on eligible purchases and redeem them for Star Money rewards, and that 1,000 points equal $10 in Star Money. You earn points in Macy’s stores, on macys.com and at Macy’s Backstage, and the FAQ says gift cards, services and fees are excluded. It doesn’t mention teachers.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
Macy’s Deals & Promotions page and its discounts page wouldn’t load for us, so we couldn’t read them. That means we can’t say a teacher offer isn’t listed there. What we can say is that the Help Center pages we did read don’t have one, and ID.me doesn’t list one either.
We also couldn’t tell how a promo code from a Macy’s email works with cash back. TopCashback excludes a coupon code not displayed on TopCashback, so the two may not pair. Rates change, so look at the number on the page you click through from before you buy.
Q&A

How can I get a Macy’s promo code?
Macy’s says to sign up for emails, which is how it sends exclusive promo codes, special offers and sales alerts.
Which cash back pays the most?
Fluz lists 12% on a Macy’s gift card, TopCashback lists up to 6% and Rakuten lists 2%. The Fluz figure only applies to a gift card, so the other two are the shop-through rates.
