11 Tips for Saving Money at Victoria’s Secret

Victoria’s Secret is the spot to buy lingerie. With the sexiest sleepwear, perfumes, bathing suits, clothing, and more, you can feel like a Victoria’s Secret Angel whether you’re on the runway, lounging at home, or running errands.

If you’ve ever stepped into a Victoria’s Secret, you know that the entire brand screams luxury–and that goes for their prices, as well.

If you want to shop like a superstar but stay under budget, look no further. We’ve got 11 amazing tips for you to save serious cash when shopping at Victoria’s Secret.

Come on!

1. Download Victoria’s Secret Mobile App

If you shop at Victoria’s Secret and don’t use the app, you’re losing money. One of the best perks is that you could receive a free VS panty with every purchase. 

The app gives you updates on new offers and sales, and as every great sales shopper knows, the best way to save is to stay up to date. In some cases, you can also receive sneak peeks and early access to in-store and online events. In addition to current sales, there are exclusive in-app sales and offers.

Whether you shop in the app, in-store, or online, you can easily manage your gift cards and coupons in one place.

Download the VS app on Google Play or the App Store to sign up and receive these free perks!

2. Shop the Semi-Annual Clearance Sale

Shopping sales is the best way to save money, and Victoria’s Secret gives its customers lots of opportunities. But the best time to find sales are in January and June when Victoria’s Secret hosts its semi-annual sale.

For the best in-store selection, go early in the sale (and early in the day!) before other shoppers have ravaged the collection of 25-50% off items. For even better deals, wait until the end to find 75% off select items.

It’s not unheard of to buy bras for $9.99 or panties for $2.99 during these sales. Compared to the rest of the year, that’s a steal.

You can also shop the Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale online, but be aware that the collection goes fast!

3. Find Coupons on Koopy.com

Avoid paying full price for any item with coupons from Koopy.com. From percentage off coupons for single items or your entire order to $10 off select items, Koopy.com has deals you won’t want to miss.

You can save money on items like brand name panties, bras, and bralettes with free coupons. Koopy.com also offers savings on select UGG items at Victoria’s Secret. And if you’re shopping online, you’ll want to get a free shipping promotion.

Never shop at VS again without a coupon.

4. Stack Coupons to Maximize Savings

Stack at least two coupons every time you shop, whether you find deals on Koopy, Victoria’s Secret website, or promo cards after shopping in-store.

You can’t combine two of the same kinds of coupons (for example, two percentage off coupons or two free gift coupons), but you can combine two different offers (plus a free shipping offer when shopping online).

The best savings strategy is to combine a free gift coupon with another percentage off an entire purchase coupon. 

5. Wait for Free Shipping

Victoria’s Secret usually operates on a model where you can get free shipping off orders that cost $100 or more. Sometimes they’ll drop it to $50-$70, $25, or even take the limit off entirely.

Check the very top bar on the Victoria’s Secret website (above the menu) to see what deal they’re offering on shipping right now.

Why pay for shipping if you don’t have to?

6. Earn Rewards with a Victoria’s Secret or PINK Credit Card

While the Victoria’s Secret credit card doesn’t offer perks for shopping out-of-store, the in-store rewards are pretty great.

After you earn 250 points (where 1 point = $1), you’ll get $10 back. Oh, and bras are worth three times as much. 

On top of that, cardholders receive exclusive free shipping on orders over $50, monthly perks, and exclusive birthday gifts. If you spend over $250 or $500 in one year at Victoria’s Secret, you’re eligible to upgrade your cardmember status to silver or gold. These cards feature all the same benefits, plus a half-birthday gift and special discounts for your card’s anniversary.

You can opt for either the Victoria’s Secret or PINK version and use them both interchangeably between brands. The only difference is that the VS credit card features a sleek and sexy black design, while the PINK credit card is a vibrant pink with its iconic dog logo.

7. Buy Fragrance Gift Sets After The Holidays

Victoria’s Secret maintains a collection of fragrances that are to die for–and the prices could make you keel over, too. If you want to take advantage of all the wonderful smells without putting a dent in your wallet, shop for fragrance gift sets in January.

Over the holidays, Victoria’s Secret offers gift sets that let you get a little more bang for your buck. If you wait, the prices will drop even more.

Whether you’re interested in buying a gift for a friend or treating yourself to something new, your patience will pay off.

8. Shop the Victoria’s Secret Catalog (aka Online)

Victoria’s Secret used to offer a mail-order catalog, but those days are long gone. Instead, you can shop their catalog online and see all the deals from the comfort of your home.

Shopping online has lots of perks. You don’t have to hunt for price tags, you can avoid the crowds, and you can easily see how much the products in your cart are worth. Avoid overspending and shop the VS catalog online.

9. Return Items You Don’t Love

The main downside to shopping online is that you can’t try on your new clothes before buying them. Luckily, the Victoria’s Secret return system via mail is incredibly easy to use. If you have more questions about online returns, check out the VS return FAQ

Holding onto items you’ve bought but don’t wear is one of the easiest ways to lose money. You can return (or exchange!) items you don’t absolutely love whether you bought them online or in-store.

If you bought something in-store, you’d have to return to the same location you purchased it in. Read more about the VS in-store return policy here

The best part about returning items to Victoria’s Secret is that you can return slightly worn bras within 90 days of purchase. They understand that sometimes it takes a week to realize if a bra is right for you.

Even if you’ve removed the tags, you can still return the bra with the original receipt as long as you’ve worn it less than ten times. 

10. Receive the Victoria’s Secret Newsletter

If you’re not already using the app, you can stay up to date with Victoria’s Secret sales via their online newsletter.

All you need to do is sign up for the VS email list to receive new product notifications, access exclusive deals, and stay updated on recent sales and discounts.

If you’d like to receive email notifications, but you don’t love how many emails Victoria’s Secret sends, you can opt to receive fewer emails. If you do this, they won’t send more than one email per week.

11. Spot Sales for Price Adjustment

Even if you’ve already paid the price for your favorite items at Victoria’s Secret, you might still be able to get some of your money back. Victoria’s Secret offers a price adjustment policy so you can reap the rewards of discounts for items you already own.

The catch is that you only have 2-3 weeks, depending on whether you purchased your items in-store or online. Oh, and the discounted item will need to be the same style, color, and size as the one you recently bought.
