"Thanks!" to Elena who shared with us about American Express' Gift WishList (click here to visit the WishList site and click here to read an article about the list). The WishList is described as "a cyber-storefront famous for making once-in-a-lifetime experiences and high-end products affordable for Cardmembers... the annual site, which returns today and runs through December 18th, features incredible deals on some of the hottest products in consumer electronics and fashion, as well as luxurious travel and experiential packages that cannot be found anywhere else".
Well, one of the items for sale involves J.Crew!

Mini-Update: "Thanks!" to Anon at 10:05 AM (in this post) who shared the following with us: "I called Amex to get the scoop on this. There is only one package available. You have to go to the website and find the JCrew package and unlock it w/ your Amex card. @ 3pm you can try to bid for it- there is a button "I want it now" and you click on that and it will pop up w/ a form that you fill out. If you are lucky you will get placed in a pool w/ other bidders and one will be selected as the recipient via an email notification- received w/ in 24 hours from the time you originally placed a bid. "
What a unique gift for any J.Crew Aficionada or Aficionado! :)
Now if only J. Crew would introduce a wishlist!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, fun day that would be! Wow:)
ReplyDeleteThis would be an amazing trip for anyone!
ReplyDeleteThis would be so much fun! I wonder if anyone on the blog will get to do this???
ReplyDeleteI am wondering how this works? Is there only one avialable to purchase? I logged onto Amex but the site is slow.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of wish lists. . . Amazon just introduced a "universal wishlist" which allows you to add items from any site (including J.Crew) to your Amazon wish list. You just have to install a link in your toolbar, similar to the Polyvore clipper. Love it!
Hi Everyone- Thanks for your great comments! :)
ReplyDeleteAnon at 10:05 AM: I just updated the post with that info. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
The Sweet Life: that is so cool about Amazon having that wish list software! I am going to check it out right now. :)
