Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Bloomingdale's.
Friends & Family 30% Off + Loyallist Certificate
The Friends & Family sale is the single best stacking moment at Bloomingdale's. Apply a banked Loyallist certificate to your order on top of the 30% discount, then earn points on the net discounted price.
Bonus Points Event + Large Purchase
Time a significant designer purchase during a bonus points event. A $500 handbag during a 3x event earns $15 in reward certificates instead of $5. Add credit card points on top for further value.
Beauty GWP + Loyallist Points + Gift Promo
Beauty brand GWP offers typically require a spend threshold. Hit that threshold on a sale-priced item, earn the free gift, and accumulate Loyallist points on the full pre-discount amount.
End-of-Season Clearance + Loyallist Certificate
Bloomingdale's January clearance (post-holiday) and July clearance (post-summer) feature the deepest markdowns of the year. Apply a reward certificate for an additional dollar-value reduction on already 60-75% off designer pieces.
Price Match Policy
Bloomingdale's's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.

Clearance & Markdown Schedule
Bloomingdale's follows a predictable markdown cadence that savvy shoppers can use to time purchases. Understanding how clearance works lets you decide whether to buy now or wait for a deeper cut.
Markdown Progression
Initial Sale Markdown
Items first enter clearance at 25-40% off with a red clearance tag. Best selection — full size ranges typically still available at this stage.
Second Markdown
