    Is anyone else getting a ? mark where the captcha code should be?

    • Kayla

      It worked for me. I am just waiting for the text message. I wonder if you could try to refresh the page?

    • kali

      yes i also can’t see the captcha code!

  2. Alexcia

    Not working for me either..

  3. Amani

    I haven’t been able to get anything to scan but Ill keep trying. I am trying to scan my computer screen. Do I need the actual catalog?

  4. mae

    it’s not “scanning” how long do you leave your phone pointing at the screen before the present appears?

    • mae

      i refreshed the page and worked

      • mae

        I can’t see the captcha code! how do i get it to show so it can go through

        • mae

          I tried a 3rd time and the code appeared never mind

  5. Tanya

    Apparently my Lg revolution isn’t compatible with the app…that is lame.

  6. priscilla

    worked for me! Super easy! Thanks Collin! You always explain things so clearly 🙂

  7. Torri

    mine is saying server not available, of course

  8. Kate

    Is the gift code for online use only? I don’t see a barcode or anything to scan in store.

  9. Nick

    Worked just fine for me. Thanks!

  10. Rab

    Just a tip: just point towards Colin post where you see gift box , no need to go to macys site. You will se the gift box to tap and that will take you to the video. 🙂

    • Stephanie

      Thanks! That worked for me too! Does anybody know if this code is for online only?

    • johan

      thank you work great

  11. Debbie

    I was not able to get it to work. I downloaded a free scanner app and it worked great.

  12. Michele

    Didn’t work until I turned a light on in the room to make it brighter, then worked right away.

  13. Amber

    Awesome! Thanks so much Collin! You’re the best!

  14. Melissa

    The last four digits of my phone number start with a zero. Every time I move away from the phone field it erases the zero. So confused!

    • Renee

      I also had issue with a zero in my cell number, so I used my husband’s cell number

    • KF

      I had the same issue with a zero in my phone number … too bad… 🙁

  15. kelsey

    So, Tmobile has blocked third party texts so I haven’t received the text yet. Is there any other way to get it??

    • Christianne

      Kelsey could you find the app on Playstore?

      • kelsey

        Well I have an iphone, but it came right up. My tablet is android though and to find it, I had to google it. Otherwise it came up as a weird coupon thing.

  16. glaiza

    wow. super easy, but mine was on the first page. Thank you, Collin!!!

  17. Lydia

    When I entered the captcha code, my iPhone kept auto correcting. So I finally figured that out and had to x out the auto correct suggestion then continue.

  18. Chels

    Worked for me perfectly! Can this code be used in stores?

  19. Grace

    Thanks Collin, mine came in instantly too! Going to try hubby’s next! 🙂 You rock!

  20. dunkin

    thanks! got it 😀

  21. glaiza

    i have a question, but i tried using the gift card code online (now that they have pick up in store) but it’s asking me for a PIN number. is the code a gift card or promo code? thanks in advance =)

  22. Amanda

    Seems like it is available only online and their shipping (for me) started at $9.95. A tip: The code you get will be entered in the gift card field. In the text you get there are 15 numbers A SPACE and 4 more. The card number is the first set of numbers and the the last set of numbers is the pin.

    • glaiza

      thank you for that..i barely saw the little spacing..what i did, and worked for me was i purchased an E-gift card and sent it to my email…

      • Nick

        Great idea! Thank you 🙂

      • glaiza

        cancel what I just wrote…i thought it worked…i got an email confirmation and just now after checking my email…i got an order cancellation.. =/

  23. llc

    I’ve got my eye on the 18 piece Pyrex set (reg $49) that will be on sale on Black Friday for $27, with a $10 rebate. Apply this gift card for a whopping $7. Whoo Hoo!!

    • Ashley57

      Cool – I think I am going to look into that!

  24. Emily McEntire

    Got my text instantly! Thanks so much!!

  25. Kassandra

    I got two codes I guess refreshing does work?

  26. EG

    BTW you can use these in-store. Just write down your number + pin and any cashier can input it manually. I’ve done it before.

    • Michelle_619

      How do you obtain a pin number?

      • EG

        the pin number was sent in the text

    • mira

      What would the pin be? And by number do you mean phone number or gift code number ? Thanks!

      • Michelle_619

        I found this information on: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20131105006025/en/Macy%E2%80%99s-Enhances-Mobile-Consumer-Engagement-Offerings-Launch

        *Open to residents of the 50 United States and (and Washington, D.C) only. Cannot be redeemed for cash (except as required by law) or applied as payment or credit to any credit card account.

Digital Gift Code is not replaceable if lost or stolen.

        — I’m guessing we just need to show them the code, but I am not 100% sure…

      • EG

        the gift card number.

    • J

      EG
      I am wondering the same thing as mira. How does this work. Can I show them the number sent to me in the text? Thanks

      • EG

        Just hand them a piece of paper with the full giftcard number. During that Macys spin and win game the winners only got an email with the giftcard and pin number. no barcode to scan. So I just printed out the email and gave it to the cashier.

  27. liddy

    thanks Collin! money is a little tight this holiday which i know Christmas isnt about the money but with your tips and hot deals i know my family will have a fun frugal Christmas!

  28. Torri

    I feel like I’m the only one this isn’t working for.. any suggesions? I’ve tried Collin’s post, the first page, the second page, two different computers, lights on, lights off.. I either get server unavailable or cannot find item.. I’m so confused :/

    • Andrea

      You’re not. Tried different browsers, laptop, iPad. Lights on lights off, a different scanner app – nothing. Waited until my screen blacked out. Now that I know you can only order online and pay shipping I feel a little better about not being able to get it. I’m using an iPhone, I thought it would be able to handle this kind if thing..,

  29. Jjs turner

    I did this on my phone and didn’t get a text. Did on my husbands and came instantly. Hope mine eventually shows up.

    • Brandon

      Yeah I did mine and no text but sent it to my wifes phone # from my phone and it came instantly. Weird!!!

  30. Liz

    Took me a few minutes to figure out what I was doing but I got it! I’m so excited ^_^

  31. Tarin

    Awesome thanks!

  32. Ari

    Its not working for me, idk how to do it, can someone help me?

  33. Leah Gough

    Thank you for the great tips and savings Collin!!!

  34. Shirley

    Hello, this worked perfectly, thank you! One question.. can this code be used in store? Are they able to type the info in?? Thanks bunches!!! Love the site!

  35. kim

    went through the whole thing but at the end I did NOT have the Get your $10 Digital Gift Code Now option. I am bummed!

  36. J

    I had no issues getting this to work and the test came instantly but I wanted to use this in store? how can I do that? I do not live very near a macy’s, but will be at one tomorrow shopping.

  37. Amie

    Did it several times but never got the ten dollars. 🙁

    • Melanue

      My $10 never came. I did this yesterday @ still waiting

  38. Cathy

    Worked on then first time for me…thanks

  39. Katy

  42. Nl

    I can’t stand all this text messaging. Doesn’t work w/an iPod. Darn

  43. Marley

    I didn’t get anything after watching video!

    • Laurie

      Figured it out! You have to scan the instruction page to watch a specific video. Then you get the $10 link!

  44. Laurie

    Nothing after the video! What did I do wrong?

  45. Christie

    Any tips on entering your phone # when the last four digits begins with a “0”? It keeps blanking the 0 out, causing me to enter only a 6 digit number. 🙁 Flaw in the ap already.

  46. Geet

    Hi carol send me your number and I will do it from my ph.
    Its very easy.

  47. Geet

    Who want $10.
    I can do it from my ph.
    Let me know if anybody need help.

    • Dani

      Please I need help. 7863271592

      • Dani

        Never mind I got it. Thanks

    • Laura

      Hi Geet—I tried to download the app and it said not compatible with my Android device. If you are still willing, could you please email me at lvhwa at yahoo.com? I will provide my mobile number privately to you. Thanks in advance for your help if you are still able to do that —I really appreciate it!

  48. Brandi

    When is the expiration date of this card? I couldn’t find that anywhere. I did everything ok and got the code – the pin is the last 4 digits. I’m guessing we can only use it online. I wanted to save for Black Friday when they have free shipping and good deals…how long is the gift card code good for?

  49. Geet

    But in order ti recieve text message I need your phone number.i akready emailed you.
