Rewards, App and Thanksgiving Day Parade
Macy’s promotes its app for sale alerts and order tracking, email and text signup for promotions, and Star Rewards (Bronze members earn 1 point per $1 spent). Opening a Macy’s Card for the first time can include 30% off the first use, according to the guide. On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade airs on NBC and Peacock at 8:30 a.m.
Our Take
Macy’s is running a long runway into Black Friday rather than a one-day scramble: the sale is already live, Friday drops keep the assortment moving, and the $25 free-shipping window (November 19-21) is the clearest online perk before the holiday. The free tote is in-store only on November 27 and 28, so plan that trip if you want it. Compare with JCPenney Black Friday 2026 and our running list of Black Friday subscription box deals.
