Because of that, Carter’s has long been a favorite among children and their parents. Their clothing is durable, cute, and ready for anything! However, it’s easy to spend more than you’d hoped after a shopping trip there – especially considering how fast kids grow!
Well, thanks to these savings hacks, you’ll be able to outfit your kiddos in the latest fashions for prices that won’t break the bank. Read on for all the best tips to stretch your dollar and save you more at Carter’s.
1. Sign Up for their Rewards Program
Carter’s understands you have many places to shop for your children’s clothing needs, and they appreciate it when you give them your business. Because of that, they’re pleased to offer their Rewarding Moments program, and you’ll be pleased with the savings!
It’s so easy! For every dollar you spend, you get one point. And for every 150 points, you earn $10 off a purchase! You can earn rewards on two of their other brands as well – OshKosh B’gosh and Skip Hop.
There are other perks, too – you’ll get extra savings, opportunities to earn even more points, AND you’ll get to see new arrivals before everyone one else.
2. Apply for and use a Carter’s Credit Card
Carter’s has their own credit card, and you get special perks when you use it! Carter’s really likes to reward their customers, and this credit card takes the excitement even further! Score these awesome perks when you use your Carter’s credit card:
- A special offer just for signing up – recently, newly-minted cardholders were welcomed with a 25% discount when they used their card!
- Free Shipping on your purchases!
- Get a Sneak Peek before everyone else does – Carter’s will give you early access to special events.
- Double Points! Remember the “Rewarding Moments” program we just talked about? Well, if you use your credit card for purchases, every dollar you spend will get you TWO points instead of just one! That means you get your $10 reward after you spend $75 instead of $150. That’s TWICE as fast, just for using your card!
- Extra Surprises. Carter’s will reward you with offers and bonus points. When and how much? That’s why it’s a surprise! We don’t have the details, but knowing how well Carter’s rewards their customers, we’re sure it’ll be amazing.

16. Buy packs for the best deal
Their onesies are adorable! And the prices aren’t bad before you apply all of the hacks here – recent sale prices listed single Doorbuster onesies from $7-$10 each. But this is Koopy, and there are better prices to be paid!
