This is the shared American Eagle (AE) US policy page, which also covers Aerie. The 30-day window is for a full refund; merchandise credit is allowed up to 60 days. Online purchases get an extra 7 days (the page gives no total). An extended holiday policy applies to purchases made on or after Oct. 23: returns are accepted until Feb. 1, 2027 or 60 days from purchase, whichever is later, with proof of purchase or a gift receipt. Online returns cost $5, but are free for Real Rewards Level 3 members, credit cardmembers, Aerie bras, bralettes and swimsuits, and third-party footwear. Returns in store are free. In-store purchases cannot be returned online. Refunds go to the original payment method, and proof of purchase is needed. The page links to a separate "AEO Price Adjustment Policy" but does not state its terms. The FAQ question about returning clearance or sale items has no answer on this page.

More than this page shows
Aerie also publishes 5 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.

No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever Aerie offers, and sometimes gives you more.

Pricemend reads your receipt, works out your last day to act, and tells you when a price drops.
