J.Crew Rewards Card {be on the lookout}

"Thanks!" to many of you, including RatsOnParade and audball (in this post), as well as Lindsey B., Elizabeth in MO, & Leslie (in this post), who let us know that they received their J.Crew Rewards Card (click here to learn more) by regular mail recently.

Audball let us know that "The card is entitled "Spring Rewards" and states 'please enjoy by March 15, 2009'".

RatsOnParade (in this post) also shared with us that "According to my Personal Shopper (via email on January 13th): "The Winter Rewards cards will be sent out in about 2 weeks for delivery on or before February 5, 2009.'"

Laslty, JLiz/Lizpoms (in this post) was kind to share with us images of a mini-Look Book (but not the Look Book) that was mailed along with her rewards card. To view the images, click here to visit her post.

So if you are a card member, chances are you will be receiving your rewards card in the mail in the next couple of days, so keep "an eye out" for it. :)

Have you already received your J.Crew rewards card? If so, please let us know! :)

  7. I live in california and i just got my rewards card today also with a cute 2009 spring collection booklet. I have a question though, my spring rewards card is for $150 "good towards any purchase made with your J.Crew credit card". Now, is it a one-time-use only, meaning i need to spend more than the $150 at one time and have the remaining balance charged to my cc for it to work? What if i wanted to use half of it? Does it keep a balance? (I know..is more than one question) I usually got the $25 and $50 cards so this really hadn't been an issue before but right now i'm not too crazy about any of the pieces j.crew has put out so far, nothing really has caught my eye except for maybe a couple of tees but nothing really major, at least not enough to spend the whole thing. Oh well, in any case i have until march 15 to use it so i might just wait and see if something i like comes up. Thanks!

  8. I'm also in San Diego and didn't get mine, nor did I get emails about the extra 30%..very frustrating!

  9. luvslife,

    Chill, it is not that big of a deal use what amount you want when you want...there is even a few days grace period after 3/15 to finish off your $.

    I got mine yesterday in IL.

  10. Got mine and I am going to wait until March to use mine...two new roll outs by then and some of the new items I have seen do not inspire me to spend...WHERE are all the cute JCRew things??? I am just not seeing anything I really really like right now.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Interesting...the lookbook in the store only had pictures, but it appears that the books received in the mail have names and prices...

    ReplyDelete
  12. No reward card yet (in Cali) but I did manage to snag the sweater I was hoping for on sale this morning! Whoo hoo! Too bad the express shipping charges and the tax about canceled out the 30% off! Oh well, at least I got the sweater I was lusting after finally!

    ReplyDelete
  13. did it update this morning?? i dont think it did :(

    ReplyDelete
  14. Anon 8:18 It did update this morning. I thought it didn't either but when I entered item numbers instead of item names into the search box, I came up with all the goodies I was looking for.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I got mine yesterday in MO! Yeah! Now, of only J.Crew would get new spring items on their website!!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thanks JLiz/Lizpoms! I went ahead and updated this post with that information. I didn't know it was a different look book they sent you- thank you so much for sharing! :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. FFM: the lookbook that came with our rewards card was more of a "booklet"...it's very small and only shows a few pieces. I did notice that they have different names for some things, which leads me to believe these books were made using "pre-production" item names. Also, they say some things like, "shoes and necklace not available". It's definitely not a large showing of the spring items, just sort of a taste.

  18. no rewards card in MD yet.


    this is usually the point when i am sicken about how much a spend at j. crew.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I am in Oregon and I actually got a phone call from a sales associate telling me the amount and that my rewards card is in the mail. Is that common?
    It arrived the same day.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, IF there was an update it was only a very few items b/c none of mine that I am looking for were there and the numbers of items did not change.

    So, truly, no update today again.

  21. for those in DC, i got a call yesterday from Pentagon City saying my rewards card is on the way. does that mean the store sends them out?

    ReplyDelete
  22. No rewards card in NY yet, but I can't wait!

    About the site update, I found that if I went to google and typed in the product name, it brought up a direct link to the item page. I was able to get some of my wishlist items! IMO, this works way better than typing it into the JCrew site. Give it a shot!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi All - Associate here. It should be common for you to get a call about your rewards card. Each store receives a list of customers in their area who have received cards. That way we can call you to let you know that they are coming and maybe schedule a personal shopping appt for you to come in a take a look at our new merchandise and some wardrobing ideas.

  24. anon at 9:16 - Thank you!!! I love discovering secret new ways to shop the jcrew site! I'm such a nerd, but I don't care...... :)

  25. I just moved on Sunday so I'm not sure if my rewards card will be delayed or if I will even get one! I had the post office forward my mail and JC has my new address for my credit card but with all the issues JC has, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up getting screwed out of my rewards card- yes I did call CS but they weren't very helpful.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I got mine Monday! My PS called to tell me she mailed out yesterday, and I got it the same day. I'm in Dallas, Texas. I just can't decide when to use it. Should I wait for new stuff to come in?....HMMMM

  32. I am in San Francisco and I haven't received mine yet

  34. Has anyone had problems with NEVER receiving cards? I should have received at least 4 cards by now, but have yet to actually get a card in the mail.

    I never actually took it up with J.Crew before bc I thought they'd think I was lying and just trying to get more $, but seriously, this is becoming an issue.

    Anyone else ever have this problem?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Courteny M. - they can track your card and whether it has been used. If you haven't received the card, call. If it went to someone else and they have used it, that will come to light as well. You are entitled as a J.Crew credit card holder.

  36. Mine just arrived! I'm in DC - the booklet is nice to have since I haven't received the spring catalog yet.

  37. Courtney,

    Got mine fine for a long time but then one along the way last year did not show. I just called and got it applied to an order at the last minute before it expired. I had forgotten all about it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Anon. 9:59 in Dallas.

    I shop at Stonebriar and Willow Bend (where my PS is-it's better). I actually live in McKinney. The Stonebriar store usually has a higher % off their sale stuff (i.e.-50% as opposed to Willow Bend's 30% a while ago)

    Hope you get yours soon!

  39. My mom got hers in NC today. I just opened a JC credit card a few days ago so I'm looking forward to getting some rewards next quarter!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Courtney--I've had the exact problem on my last three rewards cards. Each time, I've called the credit card number, and they send me a gift card. I would DEFINITELY call them about this.

    ReplyDelete
  41. FYI: If any JCAs are using their rewards card toward purchases during the current sale (with the extra 30%), I was advised to hang onto my rewards card *just in case* the items you are requesting in the order don't come through. This way, the amount you spent on the awards card may be credited back to you easily. As always, having a paper trail with your order, (the fact you tried to use your rewards card and the follow-up email about your order from jcrew, totals, etc.) will help tremendously, should this happen.

    I did notice that some things came back - the satin fleur clutch in black and the nola I was hoping for did too...Fingers crossed I actually see them. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yay, I got mine today (in Alexandria, VA)! :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Got it in PA...whew-hoo! Just in time for the 30% off, and some new spring stuff, too.

    Good Timing, J.Crew!

    Thanks,

  44. Thanks for the heads up, audball! Love the name, BTW! ha! :)

    I always file away all J.Crew rewards/gift cards until I see it reflected on my statement.

  45. Yay! Got my reward card!

    I also got a card from Banana Republic saying that LUXE card members get 10% off of everything on every purchase between Feb 1 and April 30. Now if only they start selling things that I like again...but a nice gesture!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. So you have to have a J Crew credit card to get this? Darn!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yea, I got mine today! Shipped from St Louis, I believe. I'm in San Diego, so it seems that they're making their way to all corners of the country :)

    I'm off to the B&M to finally check out the new arrivals IRL.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yey, got mine today. Embarassed to admit how much it was.
    Was at the store today to get a new chiffon rosette tee- very cute, but besides taht- eerything else was uninspiring. Walked out with 1 tee in hand. I am kind of feel relieved.
    "Shop you closet" is my new motto. I have created nealry 200 sets on Polyvore, high time I start wearing them.:)

  49. Got mine today in Texas. Yeah! Let's see how many days (hours, minutes, ???) it takes me to spend it!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I got mine today! (CA) So excited and a bit surprised too. I guess I really did do a lot of orders in Dec!

    ReplyDelete
  51. got mine today but the inventory is lean, so I'll hold onto the card for awhile

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think someone in SoCal was looking for the new chiffon rosette tee? San Diego has both the ivory and blush colors, lots of sizes. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  53. smarty - thanks! I was the one looking for the rosette tee at South Coast. They finally got it and shipping it to me.

    I went to Brea store tonight to get more of the scoopneck painter tees (I think now the only colors I am missing are the greens), and saw the rosette tees there too. I nabbed another one just in case the South Coast people screw up and send me the wrong thing.

    Not sure if anyone is interested, but the Brea store has a pair of pink (warm blush?) satin carmen shoes in size 8. I would have gotten them if it's size 7 or 7.5. They are so pretty. There are also several pairs of size 7 and 8 one of shoes. I think they are mostly returns.

    Also saw a size 00 cafe capri in the warm blush color there, so it's true that they are carrying 00.

  54. ^_ that was South Bay Addict...

    P.S. Spent all my reward card amount already on final sale stuff

  55. SF/Bay Area...haven't recvd mine as of today.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm totally going to the Brea store tomorrow! I love J Crew shoes and I can wear anywhere between a 7 and 8! Yay! Thanks Anon @ 11:15!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Lynzeero -

    Call first to make sure as there were about 5 pairs total. There's also a pair of moccasin in the front display I think it's metallic - didn't check size.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Call me crazy...BUT I did not earn enough reward points during this past quarter and still received a card. Strange! It was called a rewards card too.

    I think I still may have gotten it because I have spent a ton of money in the past, but paid off my card in November and have not spent any money on my card since then. Balance as of today? $0!

    However, if anyone could find the Madeline ruffle dress in black...I would GLADLY run up the balance again! By the time I go to a store, I couldn't find my size (4). HELP :)
