Key Takeaways from Our American Eagle Return Policy Review:

  • American Eagle does not have a time limit on returns and exchanges
  • You need to have proof of purchase (original receipt, order confirmation and/or detail page, order email) in order to receive a refund
  • The refund will be applied to the original payment method
  • If you don’t have proof of purchase, they will let you make an exchange or they will give you store credit for the current price of the product
  • Return exceptions:
    • If you buy a swimsuit and remove the hygienic liner, they won’t accept the return
    • If you buy a bikini bottom and remove the hygienic liner, they won’t accept the return
  • For in-store returns or exchanges, bring your product to any American Eagle, Aerie, or Tailgate store in the US
  • They currently do not accept returns by mail unless you ordered through the AE online app
    • If possible, use the original packaging to send the product(s) back
    • Instead of standard mail exchange, first purchase the new product and separately mail the return product to them
