Our 6 Favorite Clothing Stores With The Best Rewards Programs
As inflation continues to rise, stretching our wallets has become a concern, especially when it comes to unnecessary shopping. But if you love retail therapy as much as we do, you’ll find a way to make it work!
One of the best tips for saving money while shopping is to shop at stores that reward you for being a loyal and consistent customer. Rather than buying your clothes from a ton of different stores, find a few that match your style and budget, and buy from them consistently. This shopping method saves you money through coupons, bonus points, and rewards.
So if you’re shopping this season on a budget, here are the best stores to have on your list!

Abercrombie
Not only does Abercrombie have adorable basics and trendy statement pieces for a reasonable price, but they also have an amazing rewards program for members! As a free Member, you get access to sales, a generous birthday discount, and earn a $10 reward for every $250 you spend. But as a VIP, you receive those benefits, and also get free shipping on every order! Member-only sales, bonus coupons, and a great clearance section: just a few of the reasons why Abercrombie is an affordable place to shop.
Keep an eye out for influencer sales as well! Every few months, a group of influencers will have a secret code for 15-25% off your purchase, and it can be stacked with other deals and rewards.
Now that you have signed up for myAbercrombie, here are some of our fall picks to use your rewards on!

We love H&M for their affordable prices and large variety of styles, sizes, and home décor. But we also love H&M for their loyalty program! It’s free to sign up and you get 10% off your first purchase as a loyalty member. Consistent item coupons, free shipping deals, and extra discounts are offered through the app. And if you’re a student registered through your account, you can get an extra 15% off any purchase, in-store or online!

If you find yourself scrolling through beauty videos or looking for product recommendations, the Sephora Beauty Insider program is your new best friend!

Wondering what the perks are? Regardless of your loyalty level, you receive free shipping on every order and have access to coupons if you sign up for text alerts. Sephora offers three different birthday gifts that you can pick up in-store or online at any point during the year! You can use your points (1 point for every $1) at the Rewards Bazaar, which is filled with skincare, makeup, and hair trial sizes, which range in point value. Or, 500 points can earn a $10 reward instead.
In addition to those year-round perks, Sephora offers member-only sales and discounts a few times annually, especially during Black Friday, depending on your loyalty level. Does your makeup bag need a refresh?
