One Gesture - Many Rewards

Thanks for Sharing gives Macy's shoppers the opportunity to do their holiday shopping and help make wishes come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions at the same time. Beginning September 19 th , shoppers may enroll in the Thanks for Sharing program for $25, enabling them to receive a reward card valued at 10 percent of all their Macy's credit card net purchases made through December 31, 2007 . The rewards will come in the form of a gift card sent to participants in March 2008. For each Thanks for Sharing program member enrolled, Macy's donates $10 to charity. The first $450,000 generated through Macy's East enrollments will be donated to the American Heart Association. All additional enrollments will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
