Anthropologie does not offer a dedicated senior discount program

Anthropologie, the home décor and clothing retailer owned by Urban Outfitters, does not have an official discount for customers age 55, 60, or 65. The company does not advertise a senior pricing policy on its website or in stores, and calling their customer service line will not produce a senior rate. This applies to all Anthropologie locations nationwide and to online purchases.

This is different from many other retailers — Target, Kohl's, and some regional grocery chains do offer senior discounts on certain days or as standing programs. Anthropologie has chosen not to participate in this practice. However, the company does run sales and promotions that can reduce what you pay, and some of these are easier to access if you know where to look.

Key Takeaways

  • Anthropologie does not have an official senior discount at any store location or on its website, regardless of your age.
  • The company runs seasonal clearance sales in January, February, July, and August that offer discounts to all customers.
  • Signing up for Anthropologie's email list gives you early notice of sales and occasional discount codes before they appear in stores.
  • The free rewards program lets you earn points on every purchase and redeem them for future discounts, with no age requirement.
  • Other retailers in home décor and apparel do offer senior discounts if age-based pricing is important to your shopping decisions.

How Anthropologie runs sales and promotions instead

Rather than a standing senior discount, Anthropologie uses seasonal sales, clearance events, and occasional percentage-off promotions that explore to all shoppers. These typically happen at the end of each season — winter clearance in January and February, summer clearance in July and August — and during holiday periods like Black Friday and the week after Christmas.

The company also runs flash sales and limited-time offers that are announced through email and on the website. These sales often provide discounts comparable to or better than a fixed senior rate would be. Clearance items can be marked down 30 to 50 percent or more, which is substantial if you are willing to shop off-season or wait for inventory to turn over.

Anthropologie also occasionally releases percentage-off codes to email subscribers — typically 10 to 20 percent off for a limited window. These codes are not restricted by age and can be used by anyone who receives them.

Joining the email list to catch sales early

Anthropologie sends sale announcements and exclusive offers to subscribers before they are posted in stores or on social media. You can sign up on the Anthropologie website by entering your email address in the footer or at checkout. There is no cost to join, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Email subscribers sometimes receive early access to clearance events or a discount code valid for a limited time. This is not a senior-specific benefit, but it is available to anyone who provides their email address. Many subscribers report receiving notice of sales 24 to 48 hours before the general public, which can matter if inventory is limited.

The Anthropologie rewards program

Anthropologie offers a free rewards program that lets you earn points on purchases. You earn one point per dollar spent in stores or online, and points can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. The program has no age requirement and is open to all customers. You can sign up in store or online at no cost.

Rewards members also receive birthday offers and early notice of sales. Points typically accumulate toward $10 or $25 discounts depending on how much you spend. If you shop at Anthropologie regularly, this is a way to reduce the cost of purchases over time without waiting for a senior discount that does not exist.

Other ways to reduce the cost of Anthropologie purchases

If you are looking for ways to spend less at Anthropologie, consider shopping during the clearance periods mentioned above, using coupon codes that the company periodically releases to email subscribers, or checking resale sites like Poshmark or Depop for gently used Anthropologie clothing and home goods. Resale sites often have items at 30 to 50 percent below retail price.

Some credit cards offer cash back or points on purchases at certain retailers. Checking whether your card has a partnership with Anthropologie or its parent company, Urban Outfitters, may provide an additional small discount at checkout. A few cards offer 2 to 5 percent cash back on department store purchases, which can add up if you shop there regularly.

Retailers that do offer senior discounts

If senior pricing is important to you, many other retailers do offer discounts to customers over a certain age. Target offers a 5 percent discount on Wednesdays for customers 65 and older with a RedCard. Kohl's offers 15 percent off for seniors on certain days. Many regional grocery chains, pharmacies, and local businesses also have senior programs. Some home décor retailers like certain Bed Bath & Beyond locations and independent furniture stores also offer senior discounts.

It is worth asking at any store you visit regularly whether a senior rate is available. Policies vary by location and change over time, so what one store offers may differ from another. If you shop for home décor or clothing at multiple retailers, comparing which ones offer senior discounts can help you decide where to spend your money.
