One of our favorite Black Friday deals is back: Get a $75 Saks Fifth Avenue promo gift card with $150 purchase
This Black Friday, Saks Fifth Avenue is rolling out one of the most enticing deals for savvy shoppers: spend $150 and receive a $75 promotional gift card. This offer, which can be enhanced by spending more, is valid for online purchases through Saturday, November 29, and in-store purchases through Sunday, November 30. The promotional gift cards can be redeemed from December 14 to December 24, making it a perfect opportunity to snag gifts just in time for the holidays. To take advantage of this offer, customers must use the promo code “BFRIGCSF” at checkout. Notably, the promotional gift card amounts increase with the total spend—$125 for $500 spent, $250 for $1,000, and a whopping $750 for $3,000.
To maximize savings, shoppers can stack this deal with additional cash-back offers. For instance, Rakuten is currently offering 12% cash back on eligible Saks purchases, which can significantly reduce the overall cost. New Rakuten users can also enjoy a $50 cash-back bonus on their first purchase of $50 or more. Furthermore, if you possess an American Express Platinum Card, you can activate a $50 statement credit valid at Saks, allowing you to further decrease your out-of-pocket expenses. By combining these offers, shoppers can effectively reduce the cost of their purchases while significantly enhancing the value received from Saks.
For example, if you choose to purchase the Dagne Dover large Dakota backpack priced at $150.50, applying the promotional code will earn you the $75 gift card. Using Rakuten for cash back could yield approximately $18, and if you pay with your Amex Platinum Card, the effective price drops to around $82.50 after accounting for the $50 credit and cash back. This means that for a total cash outlay of approximately $82.50, you could end up with over $225 worth of merchandise, especially if you target items already on sale. This savvy shopping strategy not only ensures you get quality items but also maximizes your savings during the busy holiday shopping season. As always, be sure to check the terms of the promotion and any exclusions on sale items to ensure you are getting the best possible deal.
One of the absolute best Black Friday deals is to spend $150 at
Saks Fifth Avenue
and receive a $75 promotional gift card in exchange for your well-timed purchase (or even more, depending on how much you spend).
All you have to do is shop using the promo code: “BFRIGCSF.” This deal is great all on its own, but if you want to get creative, you can make it even better.
This deal
is available for purchases online through Saturday, Nov. 29, and in stores through Sunday, Nov. 30. The promo gift card terms say it will be eligible for use from Dec. 14 to Dec. 24.
Here’s what you need to know about the Saks Black Friday deal, as well as how to stack deals and discounts to make it even better.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE
The terms say one thing, but the promotional gift card was emailed to me within a few hours this year; the subject line read “You’ve Earned a Saks Gift Card.” Interestingly, it seemed to act like a regular gift card, not a promo one, and it was available for immediate use. Of course, your experience may vary, but mine has already been received and redeemed.

RAKUTEN
Right now, you can start your Saks Fifth Avenue purchase at
Rakuten
and get 12% cash back (or 12
American Express Membership Rewards points
or
Bilt Rewards Points
per dollar spent) on eligible Saks purchases.
This amount may vary during the Black Friday shopping frenzy, so it’s best to compare cash-back rates via
Cashback Monitor
to get the best deal.

Use your $50 Amex Platinum statement credit
If you have the
American Express Platinum Card®
, you can receive a statement credit of up to $50, valid at Saks Fifth Avenue, every six months (up to $100 annually). Your second credit of the year expires Dec. 31, whether you use it or not, so this is an opportunity to stack these savings.
Essentially, you need to activate that benefit in your Amex account and then pay for your order with your Platinum Card. If you still have a $50 statement credit to use, it should be automatically posted to your Amex account. Enrollment is required. (If you have other questions, check out our guide on
how the Saks statement credit works

What to buy at Saks
Yes, Saks has $5,000 dresses and other humorously priced items. However, there are other items that are nice but not outrageous. If you need ideas about what to buy, here are a few items and brands I’ve enjoyed at Saks over the years:
Dagne Dover large Dakota backpack for $150.50 (normally $215)
Rag & Bone Blake wool-blend beanie for $81 (normally $108)
Ray-Ban 62mm rectangular sunglasses for $124.60 (normally $178)
A few other more affordable-ish brands Saks carries that we like are
Skims
,
Beyond Yoga
and
Adidas
. Of course, scouring the
sale section
and sorting from least to most expensive is another effective strategy if you’re really unsure what to get.
Putting it all together
Let’s say you get the
Dagne Dover backpack
. It’s $150.50 right now — just about the perfect price for the gift card deal.
Add the promo code to receive the $75 promotional Saks gift card, and you should see it in your cart if the code is applied correctly. Start your Saks
purchase at Rakuten
for 12% cash back. You’ll pay Saks $150.50 plus tax and shipping and get about $18 cash back in your Rakuten account.
If you use an Amex Platinum with a $50 Saks credit to pay, you’ll drop your effective price by $50, all the way down to about $82.50 after the $18 cash back from Rakuten (before tax and shipping). Factor in the $75 promo certificate you’ll receive, and you’ve basically spent $82.50 in cash for over $225 in goodies from Saks.
Hopefully, you are buying something that’s already discounted to make it an even better overall deal. Please note that some sale items may not be eligible for the gift card. It should show in your checkout screen. Also note that some shoppers have been targeted for a 20% discount on Saks items in their inbox, so keep an eye out for that.
I was able to stack that 20% back deal with redeeming the promotional gift card I earned via the Black Friday deal.
If this is the way you get something like the Dagne Dover backpack that I’ve owned and loved for years, then you’ve done really well indeed.
