Saks Fifth Avenue shopping guide: how to save more

Saks Fifth Avenue at a glance

Best ways to save at Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks publishes its current promotions and codes on an official Sales and Promotions page, which makes it easy to confirm what is live before you check out. As of September 2026, that page lists several ways to save, from a new-account discount to a seasonal Friends and Family event and a gift card promotion.

• 10% off as a new customer. Saks lists a 10% discount for creating a new account with a published code, and separate 10% offers for signing up for email or text alerts.
• Friends and Family event. From 9/17/26 to 9/30/26, Saks lists up to 25% off select new arrivals in stores and online, with no code required. Not all items reach the maximum discount.
• Gift card with purchase. During the same window, saks.com offers a $50 promotional gift card for every $200 spent on full-price merchandise, up to a $500 gift card, using a published code. Designer exclusions, beauty, fragrance and gift cards do not count, and the promotional gift card is valid through 11/2/26.
• Designer sale. Saks keeps a dedicated sale section with marked-down designer clothing, shoes and accessories.

Shipping

Saks offers free standard shipping on orders of $150 or more before taxes when you enter its published free-shipping code at checkout. The shipping offer can be combined with other promotions, but it does not apply to in-store purchases, Premium or Express shipping, or items that require special delivery with extra charges. SaksFirst members get free standard shipping on every order, with no minimum spend and no code needed.

Returns

Returns are eligible for a refund when they are made within 30 days of delivery, and you can return items by mail or in store. Items marked final sale and non-returnable on the website cannot be returned or exchanged, which matters most during events like Friends and Family, when some reduced items may carry that label. Check the product page before you buy.

SaksFirst rewards program

SaksFirst is the Saks loyalty program tied to the Saks Credit Card and the Saks World Elite Mastercard. You can check whether you pre-qualify on the Saks website, and card offers are subject to credit approval. Points are earned in tiers based on calendar year-to-date net purchases: the program page lists 4 points per dollar from $1 to $2,499, 8 points per dollar from $2,500 to $9,999, and 12 points per dollar at $10,000 and above. Saks also runs Double Points events for SaksFirst members, including one listed from 9/17/26 to 9/30/26.

Points are not earned on sales tax, service fees, delivery charges, beauty salon or restaurant purchases, corporate gifts, alterations, gift cards or select designers. Saks also notes that point balances under 2,500 are reduced to zero at the start of each year, so plan to redeem before January 1. The program terms can change at any time.

Special discounts

Saks Fifth Avenue does not list a student, military, teacher or first-responder discount on its official website as of September 2026. The best standing discounts are the 10% new-account, email and text offers.

Price adjustments

Saks does not offer a competitor price match. Its policy says there are no adjustments to prior purchases unless merchandise is marked down within 7 days of being purchased at full price. If something you just bought goes on sale within that window, contact Saks to ask for the difference.

Payment options and gift cards

Saks accepts its own Saks Credit Card and Saks World Elite Mastercard, which unlock SaksFirst points and free shipping. Saks also sells physical gift cards and e-gift cards, which are a common reward in its gift card promotions. Promotional gift cards earned during an event carry their own redemption dates, such as the 11/2/26 date listed for the current promotion.

Sale calendar

Saks runs a recurring Friends and Family event, with the September 2026 edition listed from 9/17/26 to 9/30/26. It also runs gift card promotions and SaksFirst Double Points periods, which are often timed alongside these events. The designer sale section is available year-round, with new markdowns added as seasons change. For exact dates, check the Sales and Promotions page, since Saks lists start and end times there.

Tips for shopping Saks events

• Create your account before an event starts so the new-account discount and saved details are ready.
• Check each item for the final sale label, especially during Friends and Family.
• Plan full-price purchases around gift card promotions, since sale items usually do not qualify.
• Keep receipts for recent full-price purchases in case a markdown lands within 7 days.
• SaksFirst members can skip the shipping code and focus on points during Double Points periods.

How to use a Saks Fifth Avenue promo code

• Open the Sales and Promotions page on saksfifthavenue.com and note any code and its end date.
• Add eligible items to your bag, checking for final sale or excluded designers.
• Sign in or create an account; new accounts can use the published 10% code.
• Enter the code in the promo code field at checkout and confirm the discount appears.
• Add the free-shipping code if your order is $150 or more, unless you are a SaksFirst member.
• Review the order total before placing it, since some items do not reach the maximum discount.
