    I don’t get an option for the code after I watch the video. It has “buy now”, “shop for her”, “shop star gifts” options, but nothing about a code. Help?

    • amanda

      i didnt get the code either..got the same options as you…

      • Crys Jo

        It is on the last page now. Click through the entire guide and scan the last page for the gift card.

  2. Brooke

    Thanks I will email back Geet

  3. Ashley57

    Darn, not compatible with my phone.

  4. LaDonna

    Got it, Thank you so much Collin!

  5. Ciera

    Thanks! Worked for me.

  6. Erica

    I got it no problem but it was a little confusing! Scan the information page, the first page that shows up, until the little present shows up. Then touch the present and a video with Clinton Kelly should come up. After the video it should give you a link to enter your information. I got my text almost instantly.

    • autumn

      thank you!

  7. Jalissa

    Got it thanks so much

  8. jen

    took a minute but I got it, make sure you have the macys star gifts app, i already had the macys app and it does not work with the regular macys app

    • Abby

      Thanks. THAT was the missing link for me.

  9. diana

    Not working, its says the app its designer for iPhone and iphads, dont have none..

  10. Sjack

    Will they send us any marketing Text on mobile number ? I dnt have free msg plan thats why concerned .

    • Rachel

      You shouldn’t. You enter your mobile number to get the code, but there is a separate section to fill out if you want marketing texts. I didn’t fill in that info and got the code. Hope that helps.

      • Sjack

        Thank you so much.

  11. marcia

    I can’t even find the app in the Play Store to download it to my phone. I only find the regular Macy’s app.

    • Jalissa

      write Macy’s star gift it came up perfect for me on the play store

      • Jennifer

        I can’t find it either and I did type Macy’s star gift.

        • Jalissa

          Thats odd is your phone updated?

          • marcia

            Still not finding it on my Galaxy SII. Oh, well.

            • Tia

              Me either. I bet it’s for S3 and up.

            • MamaNiff

              I have a Motorola Ultra and was able to find it by searching macys star gift….. hope that helps

  12. Mourrene

    I watched the video but didn’t get a link for the $10 gift card.

    • Mourrene

      Reading is so fundamental, lol! I went back and followed Collin’s instructions exactly and was able to get it. 🙂

  13. Shari

    Will this work with an ipad? I don’t have an iPhone

    • picchu

      Yes, I did it via my ipad and put in my phone no and got the code instantly! HTH!

    • Shari

      hmmm, I got a chance to try it, but 15 minutes later, I still haven’t gotten my text. Does it matter what kind of phone you have? (I have a Blackberry)

      • Jjs turner

        I never got the text! Bummed!

  14. Faith

    I got it instantly as well. Thank you so much.

  15. Jenn

    Very cool, Collin! Thanks for posting. It was so easy!

  16. Dawn

    App is not available on my Mytouch Q (Android) in Google Play. Bummer

  17. Mrs. Waller

    Worked instantly for me! Thanks, Collin!

  18. ALEXIA SLAPE

    thanks!!! it is nice!! do you know how long it is good for?? can we save it for black friday??

  19. Paris

    As per the link above posted by Collin for the Macy’s Catalog it says the incentive ends 11/17/13 and digital gift code expires 12/17/13 (fine print at the end of the page).

    However anyone has experience using it in store?

  20. Janice

    I inputted my information but did not receive a text back.

  21. Cara Leonard (@ceeleeleo)

    Anyone know the rules on using this code? Is it online only? Expiration date?

  22. lisa

    Yeah, got mine right away! Thanks so much.

  23. L

    I was able to send a code to my phone and one to my hubby’s. Yay!

    • Haseena

      Did you each get a different code? I accidentally entered my number wrong, so not sure if the person who got the code got the same exact one as me. TIA

  24. Tracy

    I got it – thanks! However, can I use this code in store or does it have to be online only????

    • Jalissa

      Yes I would love to know I plan on using it today if it’s in stores

    • Jalissa

      I called and the lady said online only but when I don’t know where to enter code online

      • Jessica

        You have to put it in as a gift card code under the payment info online. So if you are in store tell them you have a 10$ gift card code the last four digits of the code they sent you are the verification code. If you are worried about it though order yourself a 10$ e-gift card that way you will be sure to use it in store without any confusion.

        • Jessica

          Also if you convert it to a gift card you get a longer expiration period.

  25. Zosia

    Got mine. Thank you!!!!

  26. susan

    You have to scan the page with Clinton Kelly and then you can retrieve the code via text in a minute

    • Alla

      Thay’s what I did too. I scanned few things and nothing came up but then I scanned the box near Clinton Kelly on 1st or 2nd page and it came up right away 🙂

  27. mel

    Thanks! That was super easy and took less than 5 minutes from start to finish! Going to JCP to use my $10/10 & $10/25 coupons, now I’ll pop in Macy’s to see what I can get for dh!

  28. susan

    CAN SOMEONE CALL CS AND SEE IF AVALIABLE FOR ONLINE USE also

  29. Michelle

    Anyone have trouble inputting their phone number? In the last box for the number it will only take 3 digits. I have tried everything & it still will only take 3:(

    • Jalissa

      when I put 4 it kept saying error and put 3 then it kept putting a comma on it
      Eventually it worked for me
      So keep trying are you on an apple device because it messed up only for my iPod not my android

      • Michelle

        Thanks Jalissa I will keep trying. I wonder if it’s because I have not updated to iOS 7 yet. It worked in my hubby’s iPhone 5s.

        • Jalissa

          i did it from iPod touch and havnt updated in a year and it worked. You can sign up from his phone but just put your number and it’ll work I signed my mom up from my phone and she got code instantly

  30. Jennie S.

    Keeps freezing on my Galaxy SII. 🙁

  31. Faith

    I went online and ordered a Gift Card with the $10 gift card, and will be giving it to a family member that lives near a Macy’s

    • Jalissa

      where did you enter the code at?

      • kim

        There’s a place to enter at the top of the screen when you reach payment. Enter the
        GC info. Then type the last set of numbers in the pin. Hope this helps 🙂

      • Sjack

        U have to use this as a macys gift card for payment. Plz add at least $11 worth of gc , use $10 code and rest on credit card. Otherwise ur order will get cancel. Dnt use on $10 gc.

        • JGM

          its asking for a CID but this doesnt have a CID. I trying to make this egift card purchase online for the $11 like you said…HELP!!!

        • JGM

          Nvrmind….GOT IT!!!

        • Emmy

          Do I have to make the gift card worth at least $11, is that what you’re saying? Will it not work on a cg of only a $10 value ?

          • Sjack

            Yes buy gc of $11 worth.

        • kim

          My order was cancelled like you said. But were you able to replace the order using the same gift card because even making the GC amount $11 it won’t let me even enter in the e-GC info. It keeps saying
          “Hmm… the characters you entered did not match. Please try again.” 🙁

          • Paris

            happened to me as well, change browsers, worked for me

    • vicki

      i just did the same thing! will save it in case i need a last minute stocking stuffer for my teenage daughter or something else. great idea! btw: you enter the code at the payment screen….under gift card payment info. hth! 🙂

    • jennifer

      Faith..how did you process this as payment? It is asking for a CID # from the gift card…please help 🙂

    • Paris

      I ordered a GC as well but have not received a confirmation email yet? Did you receive one right away? Im skeptical that the order will be cancelled

    • amy

      were you able to buy a gift card or an e-gift card? I don’t want the order to get cancelled. thanks!

      • Paris

        my initial $10 GC got cancelled, but as stated above I ordered a GC for $11 instead of $10 and it went smoothly after, even got a confirmation.

  32. Kristen

    weird. it said i would get a code and nothing has showed up. 🙁

  33. selina

    Thanks Collin it was so easy. I actually download the app and while I was on the hip2save website it took a pic of the box and started watching the video. Lol

  34. notyouraveragehomeschool

    How long does it take for the code to come thru? Is it via text or email?

    • selina

      Via text right away for me.

    • Johan

      Text

    • Jalissa

      instantly for me and recieved by text

  35. Kay

    I haven’t received my text yet. Is anyone having any issues not getting it instantly?

    • Shari

      I’ve waited over 20 minutes, and no text…but I used an iPad, so maybe that’s my issue?

      • jack

        i used ipod for downloading the app, since i don’t have a smartphone.worked fine for me. try again

    • Kayla

      I have been waiting close to 9 hours now for my text 🙁 I called CS and they seemed completely clueless about the whole promotion. Hopefully the text comes thru

      • Jjs turner

        Mine hasn’t come and it’s been 2 days!

  36. Tiffany

    if this is a gift card can it be combine with the $10 off $25 in store purchase sun and minday???

  37. Sara

    Got it! Thanks Collin!

  38. Amy (@couponmommynj)

    Do you think we can use this with the $10 off $25 coupon that macys puts put frequently?

  39. Stephanie

    Got it, thanks! But what’s up with Clinton calling me a “last-minute Santa”?! It’s November 8th, man… don’t make me all panicky already!

  40. amy

    I’m going today to pay my macys bill so i’ll try to use it instore and let you guys know if it worked! I am not going to print the card, just going to present it at counter because i don’t even see how you are supposed to print it form your phone!

    Here’s what it says about using E gift cards.
    Can I use my Gift Card/E-Gift Card at Macy’s stores and online?
    Yes, Gift Cards can be used online and in any Macy’s store.

    REDEEMING E-GIFT CARDS IN-STORE

    E-Gift Cards may be redeemed in-store by printing your unique E-Gift Card barcode and presenting it to a Macy’s Store Associate at checkout. Simply click “GET BARCODE” in your E-Gift Card email and print the entire page that appears. E-Gift Cards may also be redeemed online by entering your E-Gift Card number at checkout in the PAY WITH GIFT CARD box.

    • amy

      how do you get a barcode?

  41. ML

    It’s not fair that app is not compatible with some phones! 🙁
    For those who can’t find it in play store – that’s the reason.
    If you still want to find it, type in google on your phone “macys star gifts”, you will see a link to hip2save offer and from there it gives you 2 options to download for iphones or android. But I got the message on the app page… frustrating!!

  42. Jeff

    Thank you very much Colin

  43. notyouraveragehomeschool

    Ok for it to text me… I had to opt in for text and input my # twice… seems to work multiple times so heres to hoping

  44. yana

    There is also a free shipping coupon available if it is your birthday month and you are signed up for macys.com emails.
    Great deals available in store as well as this is a gift card and therefore you can combine it with the 20 percent off coupon on macys.com today OR you can wait for one of the 10 off 25 and get 25 worth of stuff for 5!! thanks Collin

    • Paris

      can you use a gift card as a form of payment with the 10 off 25 coupon. I was told by a sales associate that you can not use a coupon with a gift card?

  45. Janice

    I keep watching videos but never get an option for a gift code 🙁

  46. Ashley

    I watched multiple videos and was never able to get it to work, until I scanned the first page, Macy’s directions, #5, says you have to scan that particular page… hope this helps someone.

    • Summer

      I watched the video several times yet never got the option to enter the code. Can anyone help?

  47. ND

    I used the online chat through Macys and was able to use multiple gift cards.

  48. Brandi

    cool thanks!! anyone know when this code expires? I do not se it anywhere! I see where some of you are ordering giftcards….

    • Char

      How exactly do we use the digital code in the store?

      • Char

        I got the code on my phone, but do we just show the phone when we are in the store?

      • selina

        I have the same question. Do we show them the text and then they manually type it in or what?

    • CW

      The digital gift code expires 12/17/2013. It says this on page 2 of the ad in fine print under the photo of Clinton on the phone.

  49. mommy2maddy

    i got 10 codes. i see that people are ordering real gift cards with them. now my dilemma is should i order one huge gift card or seperate ones as gifts!

    • jack

      i ordered a 10$ e gift card with this gift card . but my order got cancelled

  50. Lynne

    Yay! Great weekend to do some free shopping!!! I got the $10/10 JCP and kohls, a $10 sephora card from crowdtap and now $10 to macys!
