What Chico's Offers Seniors

Chico's, the women's clothing retailer, offers a 10% discount to customers age 60 and older on regular-priced items. The discount applies in stores and online, though the process differs slightly between the two. You do not need to be a member of their rewards program to receive the discount, though having one can stack additional savings.

The discount covers clothing, accessories, and shoes at regular price. Sale and clearance items are typically excluded, as are items already marked down. Some locations may have additional local promotions that layer on top of the senior discount, so it is worth asking a store associate what else might be running that day.

Chico's stores are located in most U.S. states, with the highest concentration in the Northeast, Midwest, and California. You can find your nearest location and hours on their website, or call ahead to confirm the store participates in the senior discount program.

Key Takeaways

  • Chico's offers 10% off regular-priced items for customers 60 and older, both in stores and online.
  • You will need to show a valid ID with your date of birth in a physical store to receive the discount at checkout.
  • Online, you enter your date of birth during checkout or in your account profile to receive the discount automatically.
  • The discount does not combine with sale prices or clearance items, but may stack with other promotions depending on the store's current policy.

Getting the Discount in a Chico's Store

When you shop in person, bring a valid photo ID that shows your date of birth—a driver's license, passport, or state ID card all work. At checkout, let the cashier know you are 60 or older and present your ID. The discount is applied to your total before payment.

If you have a Chico's rewards card or account, you can link your date of birth to it ahead of time. This can speed up checkout, though the cashier may still ask to see your ID to verify. Some stores keep a list of regular senior shoppers, but this is not required—you will be asked for ID each visit.

The discount applies only to items you are purchasing that day. You cannot explore it retroactively to a previous purchase, so if you forgot to mention it at checkout, you would need to return and repurchase the item to receive the discount.

Using the Discount Online

On Chico's website, you can enter your date of birth in two places: during checkout as a guest, or in your account profile if you have created one. Once your birth date is on file, the 10% discount calculates automatically when you add regular-priced items to your cart.

If you are checking out as a guest without an account, you will see a field asking for your date of birth before you complete payment. The system verifies your age and applies the discount to may be able to access items. You do not need to upload or verify your ID online—the site takes your word for your birth date.

If you have an existing Chico's account without a birth date on file, log in, go to your account settings, and add your date of birth. The discount will then explore to all future purchases. If you forget to add it before checkout, you can contact Chico's customer service to request the discount be added to a recent order, though this is not may provide.

What Is and Is Not Discounted

The 10% discount applies to all regular-priced merchandise: tops, bottoms, dresses, jackets, shoes, handbags, scarves, and jewelry. If an item shows a regular price with no strikethrough or "sale" label, you receive the discount.

Items marked as sale, clearance, or final sale are excluded. Gift cards, shipping charges, and taxes are also not discounted. If an item is on sale for a price lower than 10% off the regular price, you pay the sale price instead—the discount does not stack to give you both.

Chico's occasionally runs promotions like "take an extra 20% off sale items" or "free shipping on orders over $50." These promotions are separate from the senior discount and may or may not combine with it depending on the terms. Ask in-store or check the website's terms before checkout if you want to know whether a specific promotion stacks with your senior discount.

Membership and Rewards Programs

Chico's has a rewards program called Chico's Rewards that offers points on purchases, birthday rewards, and early access to sales. The senior discount and the rewards program are separate—you do not need to join rewards to get the senior discount, and joining rewards does not change your senior discount rate.

If you do join Chico's Rewards, you earn points on all purchases, including those where you use the senior discount. You can redeem points for discounts on future purchases. Some members also receive bonus point events or special promotions, which could add value if you shop at Chico's regularly.

Signing up for Chico's Rewards is free and can be done in-store or online. You provide your name, email, and phone number. There is no annual fee or membership cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to show ID every time I shop?

Yes, in-store you should expect to show a valid photo ID with your date of birth at checkout each time. Some cashiers may recognize regular customers and ask less often, but policy requires verification. Online, you enter your birth date once in your account or at checkout, and the system verifies it automatically.

Can I use the senior discount on items I order online and pick up in the store?

Yes. If you order online for in-store pickup, enter your date of birth during checkout and the discount applies. When you pick up your order, bring your ID in case the store asks to verify your age, though the discount is already calculated in your receipt.

What if I am under 60 but shopping for someone who is 60 or older?

The person who is 60 or older must be the one making the purchase and presenting their ID. You cannot buy items for them and use their discount. However, if they are with you, they can complete the purchase themselves and receive the discount.

Does the senior discount work on Chico's outlet or clearance stores?

Chico's has both full-price stores and outlet locations. The senior discount typically applies at both, but outlet stores may have different policies on which items are may be able to access. Call your local outlet store ahead of time to confirm, as clearance and final-sale items are usually excluded everywhere.

Can I combine the senior discount with a coupon code?

This depends on Chico's current promotion policy, which changes. Some coupon codes exclude the senior discount, while others allow both to explore. Check the coupon terms before checkout, or ask a cashier in-store. When in doubt, contact Chico's customer service to ask whether a specific code stacks with the senior discount.
