Macy’s doesn’t have a teacher discount, and ID.me doesn’t list one for Macy’s either. The best way for a teacher to save is cash back: TopCashback lists 15% on Macy’s online purchases, Rakuten gives 2%, and Fluz gives 10% when you pay with a Macy’s gift card you bought through it.
If you’re shopping Macy’s for the holidays, the gift card rules decide which route fits. TopCashback and Rakuten both skip gift card purchases, and Fluz only pays on a gift card, so for any one order you’re picking a route, not stacking all three.
How To Get The Macy’s Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher discount to claim, so here’s how to get the highest cash back, through TopCashback:
- Join TopCashback for free and search for Macy’s.
- Start with an empty shopping cart, then click through to Macy’s from TopCashback.
- Shop and check out as usual. TopCashback tracks the order and pays you after Macy’s return period is over.
Check the rate on the page before you click through, since it’s the one you’ll earn, and the total at checkout before you pay.
What Each Cash Back Route Pays
TopCashback, 15% on online purchases. Marketplace items, mattresses, furniture and fine jewelry earn 3%. It doesn’t pay on gift cards, gift certificates, Apple products or select brands in certain departments, such as Finish Line at Macy’s, and it doesn’t pay if you use a coupon code that isn’t shown on TopCashback. If you return an item or get a partial refund, you lose the cash back for the whole order.
Rakuten, 2%. Furniture, mattresses, Marketplace items and electronics earn 1.5%. Rakuten doesn’t pay on gift cards, gift certificates, books, leased brands, or health and fitness products, among other exclusions.
Fluz, 10% on gift cards. You buy a Macy’s e-gift card in the Fluz app for $25 to $200, then use it to pay at Macy’s, online or in store. The 10% only comes on the gift card, so it doesn’t apply to an order you pay for another way.
Other Ways To Save At Macy’s
Macy’s is advertising 30% off macys.com purchases when you open a Macy’s card, with savings up to $100. That’s a credit card offer open to everyone, not a teacher deal, so read the card terms before you decide it’s worth it.
Macy’s also invites you to sign up for its emails, and its Star Rewards program is free to join. The Bronze level earns 1 point for every $1 you spend.
