Bath & Body Works Sales FAQ
When are the biggest sales of the year?
The two major events you need to know are the Semi-Annual Sale (starts right after Christmas and again in June) and Candle Day (first weekend of December). These offer the deepest discounts across the whole store.
What is the Semi-Annual Sale (SAS)?
It’s a massive clearance event happening twice a year—January and June. You’ll find bins filled with retired fragrances, seasonal leftovers, and body care marked down by 50% to 75%. It’s the best time to hunt for discontinued favorites.
Does Bath & Body Works price match if an item goes on sale later?
Yes, they offer a one-time price adjustment if you bought an item at regular price and it goes on sale within 14 days. You’ll need your original receipt, and the adjustment must be done in the store where you bought it.
Is Candle Day really the cheapest time to buy candles?
Almost always. On Candle Day (early December), 3-wick candles drop to their lowest absolute price of the year (usually under $10 USD). The only time you might see them cheaper is during the Semi-Annual Sale, but that’s only for specific clearance scents, not the whole collection.
How often do soaps go on sale?
Hand soaps are discounted frequently, rotating every few weeks. The best promo to watch for is the $2.95 (or similar low price) Soap Sale, which pops up once or twice a season. Never pay full price for soap; a deal is always around the corner.
Can I stack multiple offers online?
Generally, no. The website usually limits you to one promo code per order. So if you have a “20% off” code and a “Free Shipping” code, you have to pick the one that saves you more money.
What is Body Care Day?
This is a big event, usually held in mid-December, where body lotions, mists, creams, and shower gels drop to a flat discounted price (often around $4.95–$5.95 USD). It typically takes place just before the holiday season.
Do rewards members get early access to sales?
Yes, joining the loyalty program unlocks early access to major events like Candle Day or Summer SAS. Members might get to shop the deals online a day before they open to the general public.
Why are some scents online but not in my local store?
Stores have limited shelf space, so they mostly stock new arrivals and core bestsellers. The website acts as a warehouse for retired fragrances and “online exclusives” that aren’t carried in physical locations anymore.
Do sale items return to full price?
Yes, many promotions (like “Buy 3, Get 3 Free”) are temporary. Once the specific sale window ends, those items bounce back to their standard ticket price until the next rotation starts.
