Where to Buy Macy’s Gift Cards: Deals, Rewards & Miles

What a Macy's gift card gets you

Beyond the obvious Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s registers, the same card spends at the outlet banners — Macy’s Backstage and Bloomingdale’s The Outlet — and across every department: apparel, beauty, shoes, home, furniture, and mattresses. Unlike a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card, there are no activation or per-purchase fees, and the balance never gets whittled down by dormancy charges.

two formats:

• Physical card: Mailed in a card sleeve. $5 to $500 per card via macys.com.
• E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or shown on phone in store. $5 to $2,000 per card via macys.com; $5 to $500 via Dyme. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.

You can stack multiple cards in a single transaction in store or online, with no documented cap on how many.

Where to buy: four channels compared

Discounts and multi-pack pricing rotate by location and season. Verify before you buy.

Can I get a Macy's gift card at a discount?

Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Macy's e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles, paperless delivery, and supporting renewable energy projects, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:

• Costco or Sam's Club, in store. Periodic multi-pack discounts on physical Macy's cards. Supply rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
• Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold gift cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
• Macy's direct promo codes. Rare. Macy's runs occasional sitewide promotions on macys.com but typically excludes gift-card SKUs.

The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Macy's Star Rewards at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.

How to stack rewards

Three rewards programs fire on a single Macy's gift card purchase through Dyme.

Credit-card rewards

Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.

Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.

• Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
• Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)

• Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
• Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply

Macy's Star Rewards

• Join cost: free
• Applies at: redemption
• Earning rate: 1 point per $1 on merchandise
• Reward threshold: 1,000 points = $10 Star Reward

Star Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the merchandise when you redeem, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit.

Dyme Miles

• Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
• Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
• Expiration: never
• Blackouts: none
• Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners

$100 Macy's e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Star Rewards member

• Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
• Macy's Star Rewards at redemption: 100 points toward the next $10 Star Reward threshold
• Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)

Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on macys.com

1. Go to macys.com/shop/gift-cards.
2. Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
3. Add to bag and check out. Macy's does not run a member discount on gift cards, and Star Rewards points do not accrue on gift-card purchases.

How to buy in store

Any Macy's or Bloomingdale's register sells gift cards. Tell the associate the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. There's no minimum and you can load any whole-dollar amount from $5 to $500.

How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket

Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack Macy's gift cards at a discount. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.

Designs and personalization

Physical cards: multiple designs in the Macy's online catalog, including seasonal options for holiday, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and graduation. A card sleeve and a personal message printed inside are available at checkout.

E-gift cards: multiple designs, customizable subject line, and a recipient message.

There is no corporate-branded or co-branded option for individual purchase. For orders of 25 or more, see corporate ordering below.

Delivery and timing

• E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Add to Apple Wallet or Google Pay directly from the email.
• E-gift via macys.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
• Physical via macys.com: 5 to 10 business days standard. Express options available at checkout.
• Physical in store or at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.

Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a physical card in hand, macys.com or a retail aisle is the path.

Corporate and bulk buying

Macy's runs a corporate gift-card program for orders of 25 cards or more, with custom denominations, branded sleeves, and bulk invoicing. Contact Macy's corporate gift-card team to start an order.
