Throughout the year, you'll find a lot of JCPenney coupons offering an extra 20% off here or an extra 25% off there. Those are cool, but they aren't as enticing as the coupon that pops up during the JCPenney Mystery Sale. We predict the next event will happen in December 2025.
The sale's online coupon has a flat value of 30% off. However, if you head in store you can ask a sales associate for a Mystery Coupon which may be 30%, 40%, or 50% off.
While you wait for the next Mystery Sale, check out the JCPenney clearance section for markdowns up to 80% off.

The JCPenney Mystery Sale is a 4-times-a-year event that typically lasts four days, with one exception.
JCPenney's Mystery Sale happens four times a year: March or April, August, October, and December. Typically you'll find that you have four days to use your Mystery Coupon. However, during the December event, you'll get a whopping seven days to shop with it.
If you decide to shop online, you can use a promo code to save up to 30% (some deals won't need a code). However, you can shop the JCPenney Mystery Sale in store. Just ask a JCP employee for a Mystery Coupon (or find one at a nearby register). The coupons are for 30%, 40%, or 50% off your purchase (some exclusions apply).
KCL predicts the next JCPenney Mystery Sale will start Dec. 5, 2024.
JCPenney hasn't announced the dates for their next Mystery Sale yet, but we have a strong hunch it will start on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024.

Can I use two coupons at JCPenney?
Sorry, folks, that's a negative. You can't stack two coupons at JCPenney. However, you can use one coupon and one JCPenney Rewards voucher in a single transaction. That's as good a reason as any to sign up for a free JCP Rewards account, where you'll receive one rewards point for every $1 spent. Once you hit 200 points, there's a $10 reward coming your way.
What about coupons on JCPenney clearance?
You can't use the mystery coupon on JCPenney clearance, which is indeed a bummer. But use JCPenney savings hacks to make the most of this sale and save on everything in your JCP cart.
