Department StoreOnline Shopping

Macy's is the largest U.S. mid-tier department store, with about 500 full-line stores plus Backstage outlets and a heavy promotional calendar. Most shoppers buy at heavy discount, so the cashback rate stacks on already-reduced prices. Macy's codes as a department store at the register and as online shopping on macys.com, which means cards bonusing on either category can earn here. The Macy's American Express has its own Loyallist points layer for shoppers doing several thousand a year at Macy's specifically.

Picks without a tag earn at Macy's both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on macys.com.
