Bath & Body Works | MY Bath & Body Works REWARDS MEMBER FEST - May 12th - May 18th



Bath & Body Works | MY Rewards MEMBER FEST — May 12–18

My Notes:

Next week is shaping up to be exciting — Member Fest will run from May 12 through May 18, bringing a full week of special products, incentives, and experiences exclusively for Rewards Members.

Sales associates are being encouraged to remind members that the reward value has increased from $16.95 to $18.95, which should allow more flexibility in what we can redeem. That said, my recently earned rewards still show the $16.95 value — so we’ll see how that rolls out.

As always, the details of each day’s offerings will be revealed daily, so expect some surprises along the way!


Coming Soon: Summer 1 — Member Appreciation Candles

I mentioned last month that two special candles were coming, and here's what to look out for:

🌴 Caribbean Escape — Vault Candle
🌸 Orchid Blooms — Brand New Candle

Both will be part of the Summer 2025 Limited Edition line and feature pink lids — a cute seasonal touch for collectors and scent lovers alike.

Value of Being a Rewards Member

Here’s a refresher on the perks of the program:

  • ✨ Earn points with every purchase — 1,000 points = 1 free product (now up to $18.95 in value*)

  • 🎉 Annual birthday gift

  • 📲 100 bonus points when you download and sign into the app (first-time only)

  • 🛍️ New members get a $10 off $30 coupon in their wallet immediately!

*Excludes: wallflower heaters, candle & soap accessories, pocketbac clips, car fragrance holders, sponges, and socks

A Note on Exclusions:

Some confusion arose this week after a blurry photo began circulating showing new exclusions at the bottom of a promotional memo. Rather than sharing that image, I typed out the paragraph word-for-word to give proper context.

While the notice lists certain accessories as ineligible for rewards redemption, I want to point out that we’ve always been able to redeem for many of those items before. So it’s unclear whether the fine print will truly change what’s available — sometimes exclusions are printed on marketing materials and don’t reflect in-store practice.

Either way, I'm not going to stress over what is or isn’t included in a free gift. The company sets the rules, and we each decide how we shop. Personally, I spent for years before my area even qualified for rewards, so anything extra now is a bonus.

Let’s enjoy what’s coming, stay tuned for daily reveals, and keep the Member Fest excitement going strong!
