I just got a job at Macys…they haven’t explained the employee discount to me yet, so I need to know. They pay practically nothing (this is by far the lowest I’ve been paid in my life), and if the discount isn’t good I might not go to training. Do I need to use my Macys credit card? What departments don’t get discounts? Can I use the discount at sister stores?
I’ve previously read that you need to have the credit card to get the discount. I know it’s 20% but it doesn’t include all departments. If Coach and Movado aren’t included, I’m out of there.

I don’t know the specifics but generally retail store discounts I’ve seen have ranged from 10 to 20%, depending where you work. I assume that Macy’s probably has a discount of 15%, and can be used at all Macy’s locations. You probably don’t need to use the Macy’s card, and I am not sure if they accept it at Bloomingdale’s.

Drink for less with the Smarter Card
As an employee for Macy’s, you use your Macys card and you’ll recieve a 20% discount on almost anything you purchase. The discount is back office which means you won’t see the discount until you get the statement. Macy’s often has double discount days where you’ll recieve 30%-40% off merch at the store just for using your card. If you talk to your HR department you can also use your card at Bloomingdales and recieve the same 20% discount off your purchases.

It is likely that some departments are excluded. This doesn’t sound like a job you are looking forward to very much, so maybe you should consider whether you really want to work when you view the value as being just the discount. You’d have to spend an awful lot at Macy’s each year to earn enough to make up for what you view as very bad income.

The discount is part of your pay. If you cannot ask the employment office or personel office, what you have asked strangers, then I wouldn’t want to employ you.
