You can get a free $10 code to use at Macy’s when you download the Macy’s Star Gifts App. It does require a few steps but I just did this myself and the $10 code came instantly via text message.
It is a code and I tested mine by entering it only as a gift certificate and it worked perfectly. I do not know if it works in store.
Here is what you do:
- On your phone, download the Macy’s Star Gifts App and then launch the app. (make sure you download the star gifts app and NOT the regular Macy’s app.) *Make sure you get the gifts app NOT the regular Macy’s app.
- Next go to the Star Gifts Catalog on your desktop and point your device at any Star Gift throughout the catalog. (I scanned page 2 which is where they mention this offer and that worked for me.)
- Scan this page and then you should see a short video on your phone and finally an option to claim the $10 gift code.
- Click that, enter your information and you should receive a text with the $10 code.
So a few steps but really it didn’t take very long at all.
This offer ends 11/17 and the code expires 12/17.
Cherali says
I didn’t see the offer after scanning & selecting a star gift? Not sure why?
Charlene says
Cherali, there was a little red present that was on my phone. I clicked that and there was a short video. Try scanning page 2 and see if that works.
Janey says
I scanned page 2. The red gift popped up on my phone, clicked on it and the video came up. After the video was over, it popped up a screen with a “Buy Now” button then there are 3 things below it – Shop Ralph Lauren, Shop Star Gifts and Watch Video.
Did I miss something? I didn’t see anything during the video. I’ve tried other pages too.
Charlene says
Janey- I did this at about 8am and now it is nearly 2pm. It could be that the promotion ended…
Janey says
I figured it out. You have to watch the video with Clinton in it. 🙂
I got the text with the $10 code in nanoseconds after I requested it.
D says
I did it around 3:45pm EST and it worked for me. It only works for the $10 offer if you scan page 2. I tried scanning another page and nothing happened. I got the text message within minutes of entering my information.

i did get the gift card but when I went to Macy’s they didn’t know anything about it. After calling they told me it isn’t $10 off anything but rather $10 off a star item. i didn’t think this was made clear in ad or thru text message. I emailed them and waiting to hear back.
des says
I did it. I received a text and i clicked on the link and it directed me to fed ex. It says not found! what can I do?
Charlene says
Oh darn! I randomly grabbed an item to test it before posting- it was something from Lenox on the homepage but I didn’t notice if it was a star item. I’ll try again when I get home on something else .
DeeMed1na says
my online order got cancelled, says a FULL refund was issued. ( i used 2 giftcard codes + cash) i wonder if i can use the codes in store or if they are dead? anyone know??
Charlene says
Dee- maybe because you used 2 gift codes? It was advertised in the catalog so it should have been a legitimate offer. Did they say why it was cancelled?
DeeMed1na says
it just says your order can not be processed and to call a number…
im thinking it is because i used 2 on one order. i will call monday.

On my smartphone (Droid Incredible) I went to the Google Play store and did not see the app today 11/10. Is the offer dead? I tried google search and some websites say the offer is dead because people abused it, like obtaining 25 codes, etc.
Charlene says
Sorry I don’t know Cathy. I checked the Macy’s Facebook wall and that is tiring to read through. A lot of angry and mean people complaining about something or other. The reference to the gift code is listed on the catalog. It says the Macy’s Star Gifts app is available in Google Play but they may have taken it away due to abuse.
