If you would like to receive daily offer directly into your mail box, I recommend you subscribe on the left side of this page by entering your email address. Also, I highly recommend you follow me on Twitter or like me on Facebook page to get the latest offers and to avoid missing out on valuable and free gifts. I update the pages regularly.
The promotion times are very popular in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Things to keep in mind:
If you are living in those countries and especially if you are in a big cities, I would recommend you pre-ordering the bonus.
There are dates for each bonus period, BUT there is also a notice: “while supplies last” for each promo. That’s the reason why pre-ordering isn’t a wasting of time. As soon as I know about a new offer I will add it to my schedule list.
How to pre-order and secure the bonus gift?
You can reserve a gift like I do; you basically go in-store and say what you want. Ask about the bonus, they will inform you about the minimum amount so you know how much you need to spend in order to get the gift.
Are the GWP offers available online only?
It depends. Usually, the promotions are available online, as well as in-stores. When talking about Clinique bonus time promotion at a particular department store, I think the bonus is always available at the Clinique counter (in-store) and sometimes for online purchasing.

Almost the same stores are participating on the other GWP offers provided by Estee Lauder and Lancome.
Did you see more promotions on Estee Lauder and Clinique this summer compared to last in stores like Macy’s and Bloomies? Seems as though the malls are pretty slow right now…
I only ever buy my products when there is a GWP. It has become so helpful because I never have to buy eye shadow, mascara, eye make up cleaner, lipstick/lip gloss, etc. I love it! The best part is that I use different products from different brands, so I have a large collection of great designer products that I received as bonuses. You can even maximize your gifts sometimes. I just spent about $100 on Estee Lauder at Macy’s. I needed several skin care products and foundation. They have 15% off beauty, a GFW and add-ons to the GWP when you spend more. AND a tote from Macy’s for spending $65 on beauty. I love it!
Clinique has a wonderful Smart Rewards program for free (on Clinique.com), and you get free shipping for most of their eligible free GWP orders.
Also, it’s a good idea to sign up for the loyalty programs on each of the other sites. Sometimes they give you free shipping. Nordstrom online offers free shipping for almost all their purchases anyway, so you can order even if you live in a different city.And if you live in the city where the free GWP is offered, it’s better to go instore and pick up the free gift early rather than wait or have it shipped. The supplies are usually gone within the first 5 days, even if the promotion is supposed to last 2 weeks.
I love your website and ever since i joined in march this year i have been able to take advantage of 2 clinique promotions and 2 for lancome…thank you!
I would love to see if there are also GWP from Dior or Chanel, let us know if you hear anything!
Yes I have received a free gift, like when I order a certain amount of something at Target they have a gift card w/ purchase those are my favorite so I can choose something else I want or need.
I have purchased gifts with purchase at Nordstroms and Macy’s. I love the fact that I can try samples of new or different items and therefore buy the products I enjoy.
I love Clinique GWP! It’s how I justify the purchase of pricey skincare products. For me, it’s a little like gambling…I have to decide if I want to go for the bonus right now, or hold out and see if a better one is going to be offered at a different department store.
Love clinique products!! No fragrance, no residue, not oily, & perfect line of something for everyone (even the guys!)
I’ve gotten a few gifts with purchase from Macy’s. A couple with perfume purchases and a couple with makeup purchases. I love them!
Love GWP & Clinique! I received one from Macy’s and enjoy trying new things. Usually try to stock up on my usual items when there is a GWP. Thanks!
I’ve been using Clinique products for years! Absolutely love the foundations they offer, especially the Even Better Makeup:) The free gift with purchase is always a nice treat! Thanks for this opportunity!
Its been a long while since i splurged on dept store makeup, let alone got a gwp. But, its super cool that you have put together this awesome list, so if i do decide to treat myself, i know when and where to go!! Thanks 🙂
Yes, I have received a clinique bronzer and it was great! Perfect shade for the summer!
i got a free tote with a purchase and others and have never been unsatisfied
I only buy Clinique when there a super gift, that way I try new things.I wish you would have more time to get gifts. Bring them on!
I got a free gift when i bought some perfume at Dillards. The free gift was a pouch and a sample of perfumes.
I love gift with purchase–I’ve gotten them with perfume and makeup. Always pleased with them
yes! i always get the clinique bonus and i love it! although, i have a closet full of those little bags they come in!
I have received a gift with purchase from a few places, such as Estee Lauder. I was pleased because it included amazing mascara.
Yes, actually I got a make up bag with some eye shadow, mascara, a travel mirror and lipstick with a purchase of an Estee Lauder foundation set. Probably one of the best gifts I’ve received with a purchase.

I used to get them all the time with Clinique purchases. However, in today’s economy I just can not afford the high line cosmetics to get those extra freebies. I did love them when I got them.
Ive gotten Lancome and clinique GWP’s before the perfume is really good in the Lancome and the eye shadow in the clinique.
I got a free nail polish when I bought two at Ulta. I liked it. But it depends it has to be something you want.
i havent received any gifts with purchases yet. but sounds like i am missing out on alot. would be great to get
Yes, I’ve gotten the gifts with purchase. I don’t always end up using all the products, but still love having the chance to try them.
My wife always shops for her cosmetics this way. Love’s the gifts
I love Clinique makeup!
I received a tote bag with a purchase of Hippy Chic True Religion brand fragrance.
I like when companies offer gwp, we all love a bonus. that said a giveaway is so much fun to win, everybody loves a gift
If I remember correctly I have not received a gift with purchase.
I always used to get the Clinique gift with purchase! I actually always try to get a gift with purchase if it is something I would purchase anyway!
I’ve never gotten anything with a purchase, that I can recall. It’s a great idea, though. Thanks for the info!
I love getting gifts with purchase as it allows me to try new products.
I got as presents your Bonus Gifts of skin care and sunblock products from a good friend of mine who received it when purchasing a mascara from Clinique. I love your products after using it for a trial. Will buy for sure.
Glad to hear it, that you like Clinque, Tara
thanks for the info. Do you know whether the minimum dollar we have to spend to qualify to get the bonus? I need some stuff but may want to buy them when bonus is available.
which bonus offer do you mean, Melanie? but it is around 20-30 USD but sometimes (in Australia for example) it can be 60 AUD.
I haven’t receive any bonus or gift yet. But I want! will definitely go to for the Clinque bonus at Nordstrom!!
