Ann Taylor Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: If you’re getting ready for Ann Taylor’s Cyber Monday 2025 sale, here’s what to expect, including the sale dates and the kinds of items likely to be discounted.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates & Duration

Ann Taylor is expected to launch its Cyber Monday 2025 sale immediately after its Black Friday event ends. The promotion will likely begin on Sunday, November 30, 2025, and run through Monday, December 1, 2025, ending at 11:59 PM PT. The event is expected to be offered exclusivity online at anntaylor.com (excludes retail and outlet stores).

Expected Offers

The central offer will likely mirror past events: 50% off sitewide along with free standard U.S. shipping when applying a promo code (typically CYBER). In recent years, Ann Taylor has also added a bonus discount for larger purchases, such as an extra 15% off orders of $200 or more. If that repeats, it means some pieces could effectively drop by more than half their original price.

As with most storewide promotions, there will be exclusions. Gift cards, previous purchases, and certain new arrivals are typically not eligible. Discounts are applied before tax and shipping, and orders placed outside the United States usually don’t qualify for free shipping. Returns may also adjust the discount value, so it’s important to double-check the terms once the sale goes live.

American Girl Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com 2 Comments

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: American Girl’s Cyber Monday sale is just around the corner. Based on previous years, you can expect sitewide discounts with some exclusions, and a few limited-time deals that go even deeper. The event will likely be even better than the Black Friday sale, since Cyber Monday has historically offered a more generous discount across the board. Here’s what you can expect to see this year.

Cyber Monday 2025 Timing & Structure

The Cyber Monday sale thus year should begin early on Monday, December 1, 2025 and run through the end of the day, exclusively at americangirl.com. We expect the main offer to be 30% off most items sitewide, with a few highlighted “Deals of the Day” at 35% off. This format follows what American Girl has done in past years and is set to be better than the tiered “buy more, save more” promotion that ran during Black Friday in 2024.

To redeem the discount, you’ll likely need to enter a promo code at checkout. As before, there will be a maximum discount cap (last year it was $75) and only one offer per household. Exclusions will apply.

Exclusions to Keep in Mind

If the sale terms match previous years, here are the types of items likely to be excluded:

American Girl × Disney, Harry Potter, and NFL collections
Girl of the Year dolls and their collections (2025 Summer and 2024 Lila were excluded in 2024)
American Girl 18” dolls
Create Your Own dolls
Collector edition sets, such as Kirsten’s Surprise Holiday Collector Doll & Book Set
Services such as the Doll Care Center, dining, special events, salon experiences
Gift cards, shipping, sales tax, and gift wrap

It’s also worth noting that American Girl reserves the right to limit quantities or end the sale early if technical issues occur.

What to Focus On

The best deals are usually found on playsets, accessories, gift sets, and last-chance inventory. These tend to be included in the sitewide discount and occasionally show up in the deeper 35% off deals. Larger bundles also become more affordable when the discount applies to the full purchase.

By contrast, newer collections, specialty collaborations, and high-value collectible dolls are usually excluded. For these items, you should not expect Cyber Monday discounts.

Featured Deals From Last Year

Looking back at past sales gives a good sense of what to expect. In 2024, the Cyber Monday promotion offered 30% off across most of the site with exclusions. In addition, specific items were spotlighted at 35% off. Examples included:

Get Outside Camper (HGL95) at $212 (35% off)
Bitty Baby Doll Care & Play Set (GYL34–GYL39) at $65 (35% off)
Flamingo Fun Play Set (Bitty Baby Splash, SKUs HNM17 or HNM19) at $52 (35% off)

During Black Friday 2024, the promotion followed a tiered structure: 20% off orders of $100 or more, 25% off orders of $200 or more, and 30% off orders of $300 or more. While that offered solid savings, Cyber Monday’s flat 30% sitewide discount, plus 35% deals on select items, made it a stronger overall event.

American Eagle Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Here in 2025, American Eagle is once again expected to launch its Cyber Monday event right after their Black Friday sale ends. Here’s a look at the deals usually appear and when the event is expected to take place.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

American Eagle has followed a pattern for years, starting Cyber Monday deals the day before the official date. In 2025, that means the sale is expected to kick off on Sunday, November 30, 2025 and end on Monday, December 1, 2025 or until items sell out. The event is expected to run exclusively at ae.com.

What Discount Levels To Expect

For 2025, the store is likely to repeat offers similar to last year’s event. That includes 40 to 50% off across American Eagle and Aerie lines, with jeans, sweatshirts, and new arrivals all part of the promotion. Sweatshirts in particular often reach the 50% mark, making them one of the better categories to look out for. Free shipping usually kicks in on orders over $75. Clearance sections may see markdowns stacked on top of these base discounts, with some items reaching as much as 70% off.

Featured Deals From Last Year

Last year, a Whoa So Soft crew neck sweater dropped from $49.95 to $29. A barrel jean style went down to around $30, which was roughly 40% off. Aerie sweaters and quarter-zip sweatshirts also sold for $29, about half their original price. Even smaller accessories like slip-on slippers were included, falling from $45 to $27. Outerwear such as faux fur jackets and sherpa pullovers were also discounted around 40%.

Possible Exclusions

There are always a few caveats to keep in mind. Many of the best deals are marked as final sale, meaning they can’t be returned or exchanged. Some new arrival pieces, especially collaborations, may be excluded. Stock can also vary by region, which means not every deal appears everywhere.
