  • Star Money is valid for 30 days
  • Points and Star Money can be tracked at macys.com/mystarrewards

 

For upcoming Bonus Days, visit macys.com/starmoney.

Online and phone orders: Points are issued when the order ships.

 

Pre‑sale items: Points are issued once the purchase is finalized.

Star Rewards Status & Benefits

There are four Star Rewards status levels:

  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum

 

Customers without a Macy’s Credit Card are Bronze members. New Macy’s Credit Cardholders start at Silver status.

Upgrades are based on annual qualifying Macy’s Credit Card purchases:

  • Silver: $1–$499.99
  • Gold: $500–$1,199.99
  • Platinum: $1,200+

 

Status upgrades occur automatically within 7 days of meeting spend requirements (after returns). Status is reviewed each January for the new calendar year.

Yes. Only qualifying purchases made with a Macy’s Credit Card count toward Silver, Gold, or Platinum status.

Expiration & Returns

Star Rewards points:

Points expire if:

  • Your Macy’s Credit Card is closed, or
  • You make no qualifying purchases for 12 consecutive months

 

Star Money:

Star Money expires 30 days after issuance and will automatically be removed from your Wallet after expiration.

If you return an item purchased using Star Money, the Star Money portion will be refunded as a:

  • Macy’s Happy Returns Gift Card, or
  • Merchandise‑Only Certificate

Points earned on returned items are removed from your balance. If insufficient points remain:

  • Outstanding Star Money may be reduced by $0.01 per point
  • If all points and Star Money are depleted, the return value may be reduced accordingly

Troubleshooting & Support

If you believe rewards are missing, inaccurate, or not applying correctly, please contact Customer Care at 1‑800‑289‑6229 (TTY: 711).

 

Before calling, verify that:

  • Rewards weren’t impacted by a return
  • Star Money hasn’t expired

Special Programs & Purchases

Yes. Macy’s Cardholders earn points on every purchase. Non‑cardholders can enroll as Bronze members in store, online, or through the Macy’s app.
