American Eagle Real Rewards
When you sign up for American Eagle Real Rewards, you’ll start off at Level 1 of the three-tier loyalty program. Spend a certain amount each year to graduate to Levels 2 and 3, where the perks are even better. Check out the chart below:
How to Earn Points & $5 Rewards
Every dollar you spend at American Eagle and Aerie will earn you 10–20 points; for jeans, you’ll earn double the points. Every time you “close the loop” on reaching 1,250 points, you’ll unlock a $5 reward to spend on your next order. The higher your membership level the faster you’ll earn these points.
Earn Points Faster with Real Rewards Credit Cards
If you really want to rack up points, enroll in one of American Eagles credit cards (subject to approval). Cardmembers will automatically start at Level 2 of Real Rewards. You’ll also get 20% off your first purchase at American Eagle or Aerie, earn double points on everything (4x points on jeans!), and get access to exclusive cardmember sales.
