Macy's Pre-Sale and Friends & Family FAQ/Q&A

** Answers in red provided by SL (Kindly post revisions and other Q&A's in another color )
To the best of my knowledge and understanding of Macy's policies, I have not, nor would I purposely, divulge any information that is not already readily available to the public. I am providing information to Macy's customers and potential customers in order to promote our F&F sale to my friends here in our SlickDeals community. Free public relations/advertising can't be beat, and that's what Macy's F&F is all about! If any Macy's official deems the following information as contradictory to Macy's purpose, please contact me and I will remove my related posts ASAP.

Quote from bmccarty17 : Will it work on Dyson vacuums, thanks.

The Pre-Sale event uses the F&F coupon, which will take 10% off select electronics. We don't have any Dyson vacuums at our Macy's, so I can't tell you for sure if it will work. My guess is it will take 10% off.

Quote from WinkyMcGee : Do you need a Macy's charge card to reserve an item on presale? Or anyone can do it?

You have to pre-sale with a credit card, but it does not have to be a Macy's card.

Quote from ESQKRW : Thank you for the info abt the pre-sale. Quick question if the items I buy at the pre-sale are on sale during the f&f's will they honor the sale price and the coupon. During the last f&f's sale I purchased Ralph Lauren outfits for my son for $7.99 and that was the price for that weekend only.

If the items you purchased end up being cheaper during the actual dates of F&F, then you can simply return the items, then re-buy at the lower price. Since most prices most likely won't be less than what it was pre-saled for, this shouldn't be an issue.

Quote from stabbing : With Pre-sale, do we pay now or on the 29th?

If it's on your Macy's, you will see your overall balance online WITH the pre-sale total included, however your card will not be officially charged until the 29th. This is done to insure that a person doesn't go over their actual Macy's card credit limit. I'm assuming your credit card (non-Macy's) would place some sort of hold on the funds at point of sale. And yes, you do swipe your credit card when you go in to pre-sale, not when you pick up.

Quote from flyalexair : will this work for the sevens jeans?

if your Macy's has Seven For All Mankind, then yes, it should work. Also, you can use the F&F coupon code (also on the coupon cards itself) online (sorry, no pre-sale online).

Quote from liighettoromeo : You have to use a Macy's Card.....they wouldnt want to let everyone in on this promotion so early...just macy's card holders...and full balance must be carried on the card...like most of thier promos a macy's card is required for coupons...sometimes its without but most of the times it is..

Why must people put false information out there?

You can use any credit card, Macy's or not, for the pre-sale, as well as F&F....

Quote from GoHalos : Oh I see. But when the "official" sale starts, then I can use my gift cards and get the discount? Do I need to have an offical coupon/card?

Yes, you can use gift cards.

Quote from RWD4LIFE : How long does the Pre-sale last? Does it apply to 7 For all mankind? (i saw that F&F applied, but wasn't sure if Pre-sale applied as well) Thanks SL!!!

Everything that applies for F&F applies on the pre-sale, as the registers ring the pre-sale with the F&F coupon. So grab your jeans in your size and don't worry about searching high and low for your size when F&F finally comes around. And the pre-sale is ongoing until the 29th, when F&F begins. Stores should already be doing their pre-sale, but as I've read in the thread, I guess some stores are a bit late in starting theirs.

Quote from rpearlberg : Might be a dumb question, but does Macy's match prices? Target has the Dyson DC24 for $319 starting Sunday

You have to bring in the Target ad, and go into Macys on Sunday (when the Target ad becomes valid). They'll probably have to call a manager, since regular associates can't change prices without approval. Also, it has to be the exact same model. Point out the store policy which should be posted on the front of the wrap desk. Lastly, I don't believe Macys Online price matches,so this would have to be done B&M.

Quote from dmcgrath : will the barcodes still work even though it says, 1 promo code per transaction and the codes seem to be unique?

The store should have plenty of F&F coupons. You just have to be genuinely polite and find an associate who is the same.

Quote from lindaqxl : Shoped at macys.com last night to avoid crowd and swine flu you know. When checkout, you can only use one coupon. Eg. MACYSFF, yes 25% was off. But you CANNOT use FORMOM to have free shipping over $99. It's kind of misleading and false advertising when you see that 'free shipping over $99" banner on every page of macy's website. I added more than $100.00 in the shopping cart but I had to pay $15.00 for shipping. NO. I have to dump the cart. If anyone knows how to use both FF and Free shipping coupons when shop online, pls share. Can never have time to shop in the local store. Thanks

Did you have everyday values in your Cart? Are you adding the regular prices, or the prices after the markdowns (but before the 25% off)? The advertisement isn't misleading, a lot of people who have trouble just can't comprehend the qualifying terms.

Quote from rukster : F&F sucks....all prices jacked up...you can get the same price on regular days in some cases even less using a 20% coupon. Bought alfani suit seperates last week for $139.99-$25 coupon for $114.99 and today the damn jacket is $164.99 and with the 25% it's $123.74....

Last week you could have bought it for $139.99 - 25% pre-sale = 104.99.... F&F > ____

employees, especially those that work in commission departments, can sometimes deny special sale opportunities to people. such things such as a pre-sale are technically only offered to "friends and family" and from the looks of your apparent distaste for Macy's and its employees, you might not just be pre-sale worthy.

Quote from amptor : Do they exclude Lacoste as they usually do? Most of their clothes are mediocre by far unless you go to one in a big city such as San Francisco. I used to work at one of their stores and barely anything was of any interest in the store I was at.

Lacoste is included in F&F. And each Macy's carries merchandise based on the demographics of your city and surrounding area. So basically, the stuff in the store reflects the type of city the Macy's is in...for the most part, anyway.

Quote from idlebrain : can i use this coupon on sunglasses at "sunglass hut" which is inside macy's store? thanks.

Hmmm, not sure. My Macy's just has an accessories section that houses sunglasses. If it's a Sunglass Hut designated area, it might not be accepted, as we have those Apple automated kiosks and F&F doesn't apply to that. However, if you can use your Macy's card at the Sunglass Hut area, then F&F probably would apply.

Quote from sally.tn : HECK YES! 25% on top of our 20% it's the best!

]Yes, it is! My billing statement will be screaming at me this month.

Quote from 07BBS2K : Quick question:[/B] Do I need to be a member or need a Macy's credit card in order to use this coupon?

No, you don't need a Macy's card. However, if you don't have one and sign up for one and get approved, it would be 25% off (F&F) PLUS another 20% off on the day you are approved and the day after as well, so roughly 45% off! Basically, this week is the best time to open a Macy's card!

Quote from slickDe@ler : Why am I not seeing free shipping over $99 online when I use the 25% off code? It does not allow me to put 2 codes in either..

Are you looking at the After Tax total, or the actual merchandise only total? Prices of merchandise must total over $99 before taxes, and must total over $99 on the final sale prices, not just the original retail prices.

Quote from ESQKRW : Thanks SL for answering all the questions, just wanted to tell you the macy's in my area sucks. They never heard of a pre-sale for friends and family. Ok I moved on from that b/c I was told I could do a price adjustment. I go in today one of the Macy's said they couldnt do it b/c the coupon excludes previous purchases. The other macy's does the price adjustment but for the current selling price. Many things I purchased were on sale and now they are not. I told the manager jacking up the price and giving me 25% off is not a sale, she didnt understand that. Oh well I have lots to return. Thanks again SL.

Could you PM me with the information on your store? I'd like to bring this up to my store manager and regional representatives to see if they can shed light on this matter. Thanks!




This coupon is different since this has the least amount of exclusions. VERY different from the coupons in the paper. Meaning, you can go and buy that Coach bag you've been drooling over. Or that Dooney & Bourke wallet. Finally you can purchase that Lauren suit, Lacoste shirt, or Kenneth Cole shoes.
