Build-A-Bear Coupons & Pay Your Age Offer

1. Join the Bonus Club and spend your $10 certificates

   $10 certificate per 100 pointsLow effortAdults 18+ in the US, Puerto Rico or Canada

   Membership is free, and members earn one point per dollar on regular and sale items in participating Workshops and on buildabear.com, counted after coupons and discounts and before tax. Each 100 points brings a $10 Reward Certificate by email; it can be combined with valid Build-A-Bear offers but can't pay for gift cards, taxes or shipping, and any value left after the one purchase is lost. Points expire after a year in which no new points reach the account, and the Bonus Club Terms say members may earn double points during select promotion periods.^{[3, 4, 5]}

   1. Join online with an email address; it's one membership per person.
   2. In a Workshop, give your phone number, email or account number; online, sign in before checkout.
   3. Spend the whole certificate in one purchase before the expiry date in its email.

2. Bring the birthday child in for Pay Your Age

   Their age in dollars, from $1Some effortBonus Club members with a child's birthday this month

   On October 29, 2026 Build-A-Bear's promotions page listed Pay Your Age (also called Count Your Candles) as a store exclusive: in the child's birthday month, the Birthday Treat Bear, regularly $14, costs the age they are turning, with a $1 minimum. It's for Bonus Club members, the child has to come along, and no coupon or proof of age is needed; it's one per guest, can't be combined with other offers, and outfits and accessories cost extra. Workshops inside places such as Great Wolf Lodge and Rainforest Cafe don't take part, and since stores can run out of the bear, Build-A-Bear suggests calling your Workshop first.^{[1, 2, 6]}

   1. Have an adult (18 or older) join the Bonus Club for free.
   2. Visit a Workshop with the child during their birthday month.
   3. Give the member's email, phone number or account number at checkout.

3. Collect online orders in a Workshop for free

   Skips shipping of $10 or moreLow effortShoppers near a Workshop

   Delivery from buildabear.com starts at $10.00 for Economy on orders up to $100, while Buy Online, Pick Up in Store carries no shipping charge. On October 29, 2026 the promotions page listed free pickup as a limited-time online offer that can't be combined with shipping or gift card offers, and the items must be in stock at your chosen Workshop. Collect within 7 days of the Ready for Pickup email or ask the Workshop for more time; otherwise the order is canceled.^{[1, 7, 10]}

   1. Check Workshop availability on the product page.
   2. At checkout, choose Pick Up and select your Workshop.
   3. Bring the Ready for Pickup email; anyone who has it can collect the order.

4. Pair two furry friends during Buy One, Get One for $15

   Second furry friend for $15Some effortShoppers making two furry friends in a Workshop

   On October 29, 2026 the promotions page listed Buy One, Get One for $15 on select Make-Your-Own furry friends as a store exclusive for a limited time, with no end date shown. The $15 price goes on the furry friend of equal or lesser value, outfits and accessories are sold separately, and the offer can't be combined with other offers or applied to earlier purchases. Because the cheaper of the two gets the $15 price, pairing two similarly priced furry friends gets the most from it.^{[1, 2]}

5. Add a $10 gift card for $5 to a $25 order

   $10 gift card for $5Low effortOrders of $25 or more, online or in stores

   On October 29, 2026 the promotions page offered a $10 gift card for $5 when you spend $25 or more, online and in participating stores, with no end date shown and only while supplies last. The card is valid on a future visit, so it suits a family that already plans to come back. Build-A-Bear's FAQ adds that gift cards pay only for orders that include furry friends, clothing or accessories, not for purchases of gift cards alone.^{[1, 2, 9]}

6. Set the party budget with the Make-Your-Own package

   From $16 per GuestSome effortFamilies booking a birthday party

   The Super Smiles, Awesome Adventure and Ultimate Experience packages cost $30, $40 and $50 per Guest, while the Make-Your-Own Party starts at $16 per Guest and lets you choose the per-Guest budget, with the Party Leader helping you keep to it. Every party needs at least 5 Guests, and you pay only for those who attend, with a 5-package minimum. US bookings require a deposit, and you receive a $50 e-card at booking that can go toward the bill on the day or be saved for later.^[13]

Build-A-Bear's FAQ sends shoppers to its current promotions page for every valid offer, and on October 29, 2026 none of the five promotions there used a code. We list only codes and deals Build-A-Bear shows on its own site.

1. Coupon-site codes may not be Build-A-Bear's

   Build-A-Bear's FAQ warns that coupons and offers shared on crowd-sourced platforms such as RetailMeNot and Honey may not be official, and points to its current promotions page as the place where every valid offer appears. On October 29, 2026 none of the five promotions there needed a code.^{[1, 9]}

2. Embroidered gifts are final

   An embroidered furry friend can't be returned, its design can't be changed after the order is complete, and it adds a business day of processing. Order it with time to spare rather than counting on 2-Day Express or Next-Day delivery.^[9]

3. Pay Your Age needs the child there in person

   The offer runs only in Workshops, for Bonus Club members, with the birthday child present, and Workshops inside other businesses such as Great Wolf Lodge, Rainforest Cafe and the Build-A-Dino Experience at T-REX Cafe don't honor it. Stores can run out of the Birthday Treat Bear, so call ahead.^[6]

4. Shipping charges stay spent after a return

   Build-A-Bear's return policy calls shipping fees non-refundable, so a mailed order you send back still costs its delivery charge. Online orders can be returned to any US Workshop within 90 days.^{[8, 9]}

5. Uncollected pickup orders are canceled

   A Buy Online, Pick Up in Store order waits 7 days after the Ready for Pickup email; if nobody collects it or asks the Workshop for more time, it's canceled. Pickup and shipping can't be mixed in one order.^[10]
