Does Bloomingdale's price match?

No. Bloomingdale's does not match other retailers' prices, including Amazon. Its price adjustment article covers only Bloomingdale's own prices, and none of its pricing help pages mention matching another retailer. The only lower price it honors after you buy is its own: if Bloomingdale's cuts the price of your item within 10 days, you can claim the difference.

How many days do I have for a price adjustment at Bloomingdale's?

You have 10 days. For bloomingdales.com orders, the clock starts on the order date, not the ship or delivery date; for store purchases, on the purchase date. Sister company Macy's also counts 10 days from the order date.

What if the price drops after the 10-day window?

Bloomingdale's won't adjust it, but you may still be inside the 30-day return window, which counts from the day you receive the item. Of Bloomingdale's markdowns that dropped again within 30 days, askprice tracked 56.1% whose next drop came on days 11–30, past the window for anyone who bought on the markdown day.

Do Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Friends & Family prices qualify?

The official article doesn't exclude them. Third-party guides say Bloomingdale's excludes special-event prices such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Friends & Family, and purchases made with a coupon or promo code, but Bloomingdale's article "Am I able to receive a price or promotion adjustment?" lists neither. It offers adjustments on "eligible merchandise" within 10 days and names only third-party seller items as ineligible. It doesn't define eligible merchandise, so ask when you request.

Are third-party "Sold and shipped by" items eligible?

No. Bloomingdale's says items shipped and sold by a third-party seller are not eligible for price adjustments or exchanges. Returns on those items run 30 days from receipt.

What happens to my Loyallist points after a price adjustment or return?

Your points can go down. Bloomingdale's Loyallist terms say "returns and other adjustments, such as a price adjustment, may reduce or eliminate your Points Account Balance." On a return, the points earned are removed; if you don't have enough points, your Rewards are reduced by 1¢ per 2 points. In a January 2025 r/MacysStores thread, a Bloomingdale's shopper said $350 in rewards earned on a Black Friday purchase were taken back after the return.

Can I return it and buy it again at the sale price?

Usually, yes, if the item is inside the return window and isn't final sale. Most purchases can be returned within 30 days of receipt; Final Sale items, including items marked "The Final Offer," cannot. The catches: you may lose Loyallist points from the original purchase, and your size may sell out.

Is the price the same online and in store?

Not always. Bloomingdale's says the website and stores "may choose to offer items at different prices or may run different promotional events at different times," and in-store prices and promotions can't be applied to bloomingdales.com purchases. An online sale may not apply to the store tag either. askprice tracks bloomingdales.com prices, so its alerts reflect the online price.

How to request a price adjustment at Bloomingdale's

  1. Check the date: you have 10 days from the order date (online) or the purchase date (store).
  2. Check eligibility: the item must be sold by Bloomingdale's, not a third-party seller.
  3. Online order: Bloomingdale's says to request it "through our email assistance" ([email protected] on its Contact Us page), with your order number and the current price. For help, call 1-800-777-0000, 8 AM to midnight ET.
  4. Store purchase: the request must be made in a Bloomingdale's store; bring your receipt.
  5. Refund: the difference goes to your original form of payment.

FAQ

Is a price adjustment the same as "price protection" at Bloomingdale's? Yes, shoppers use both terms. Bloomingdale's own help article calls it a "price or promotion adjustment."

Does the Macy's price adjustment policy apply at Bloomingdale's? Not exactly. Both are Macy's, Inc. companies, and both give 10 days from the order date for online orders. The details differ: Bloomingdale's takes online requests through email assistance, Macy's through chat or phone, and Macy's counts furniture and mattresses from the delivery or ship date. See the Macy's price adjustment policy.

Will Bloomingdale's match a lower price at Macy's? Bloomingdale's doesn't match other retailers' prices, and the sources we checked list no exception for Macy's.

I paid with a gift card. Where does the difference go? Bloomingdale's refunds adjustments to the original form of payment. Its article doesn't address gift cards specifically, so ask customer service how a gift-card refund will be issued.

Can I get more than one adjustment on the same item? Bloomingdale's article doesn't state a limit. Each request still has to fall inside the 10-day window.

I bought a dress three weeks ago and it's on sale now. Can I get the difference? Not as a price adjustment: three weeks is past the 10-day window. If you're within the 30-day return window and the item isn't Final Sale, a return and rebuy is the remaining option.

Does askprice request the adjustment for me? No. askprice checks bloomingdales.com prices daily and alerts you in the app when the price drops; you make the request with Bloomingdale's yourself.
