Outside these major events, you can still save with Friday Clearance Markdowns up to 70% off. You can always browse ongoing deals in the Sale and Clearance sections across every category. They include Home, Women, Men, Young Adult, Baby & Kids, Jewelry & Watches, Beauty & Salon, Handbags & Accessories, and Shoes.

Sign up for either the JCPenney Credit Card or the JCPenney Mastercard now through November 30, 2026, and you'll get $35 off your first purchase of $35 to $499.99, or $125 off your first purchase of $500 or more. JCPenney regularly offers cardholders an extra discount on top of sale prices, too. During the Billion Dollar Jewelry Sale this September, cardholders using either card got an extra 30% off select jewelry, while shoppers paying any other way got 25% off.

The bottom line:

Do you only shop at JCPenney? Their branded credit card may be the best choice for you. Shop other places, too? Get the Mastercard to earn extra points and perks while shopping at JCPenney and other places.

A few things to know before you apply:

• The limited-time sign-up bonus cannot be combined with other coupons, but it does stack with rewards you've already earned.

• Purchases need to be on one receipt, and you can't pay with cash, gift cards, Amex, or Discover.

• Items you return lose any points or CashPass tied to that purchase.
