  1. I just placed a large order this morning, using the FS code. I wonder if the SHHH code could be applied as well? I guess there's only one way to find out!

  2. I had 2 things in my shopping cart but now they're gone... which is for the best b/c I really should not be buying anything (unless it's on deep discount at tjmaxx, hehe!)

  3. I placed a large order this morning as well and got the 20% code about an hour later! I just called CS and they applied my coupon code for me, so just call and ask! HTH

  4. was anyone able to get free ship + discount?

  5. I wish J.Crew would make a permanent stance on whether or not they allow people to combine codes.

    I blame J.Crew, but it bums me out when people post on here that they were able to combine codes when others are told no.

  6. I know some people said that some items end up as not showing up Final Sale when they get the receipt. Has anyone noticed this with the lattice print dress?

  7. no luck getting both the free ship and the 20% coupon to work. now i have to decide whether my order is worth it!

  8. Before the site redesign, I completed a couple orders where the CS rep combined % off with a FS code, but ever since the site redesign, I have been told no to combining codes.

  9. I tried to get fs for under the $100.00 amount since I returned a large parcel and I got turned down 2x.

    So I used the $100.00 code and I was able to order a waitlisted item that is hidden on their site. I wished I could have spent more to use the 20% code but I have to wait to order the capris.

  10. Dina,
    I have some things that don't show up as final sale too. I called customer service and the CS rep told me that if it did not have the * by the item then I could indeed return it.

  11. Grr...I used this code. I couldn't help it! My blue Zoey came back!

  12. Has anyone purchased the Scattered-boule necklace? Shown here http://jcrewaficionada.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-inspires-jcrew-every-day.html

  13. Since I saw this code I went online and looked at all the items in my shopping cart... but since you can find current expensive items now for pennies at TJMAXX it really makes me not want to buy anything from JCrew. If I am buying something this expensive at JCrew when it could possibly also go to TJMAXX for a ridiculously low price, well, let's just say the brand has effectively been delvalued for me. I have had a love affair with JCrew for a long time and spend 90% of my money there. But I am seriously not spending anymore money there at all. It is one thing to have items from many seasons ago, but the same season? At a place like TJMAXX!? There is nothing wrong with shopping at TJMAXX, but since JCrew has current items there, well, it makes me never want to shop at JCrew again.

    Disclaimer: I am not trying to start anything on here, like I said I am not degrading people who shop at TJMAXX, what I am saying is that since current items are available there that JCrew, the brand, to me, has been devalued.

  14. I ended up going with the FS code for $100. Honestly the only thing I really wanted was the eyelit print mini that just went on sale. Its really beautiful! I also ordered a waitlist item. I thought about using the 20% off but the other thing I want were not low in stock and bound to drop in price. I am not all that jazzed about the spring collection. I like the fresco mini but I bet it will drop in price too. The eyelit really is a quality looking piece.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Just thinking, how can you tell if an item is low in stock?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Does anyone know where to get the contact information (email) for Mickey? I got the note one time with his email address or phone number, I don't remember, but I threw it away... I want to write an email to him. Anyone have any help on where to send it?
    Thanks!

  17. Brand has been devalued: I think J Crew had excess inventory and they decided to sell it off to TJ. One way to get rid of inventory IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  18. casual-crew, thanks for the response! :)
    but IMO
    They could have lowered the prices online. There are shoes that are being sold for 19.99 at TJMaxx that are still online at J.Crew for 100.
    If they want to get rid of excess inventory without devaluding the brand, they could have just done a bigger sale. Percent off sale, or lowered the individual price points.

  19. Anonymous @ 3:15, do you know how the sizing on the eyelet mini is? It is really pretty! I have a 20% code from opening a J.crew credit card that expires today. I tried combining this code with free shipping but it doesn't work.

  21. Does anyone know if the stores have additional % off sale right now?

    ReplyDelete
  22. anon 3:30: Type 99 in the quantity box and the amount that shows up is the quanitity, usually this is the case, sometimes it can be wrong depending how often the inventory is updated with the call in orders.

    anon 3:48: They could have lowered the price unless they had such huge inventories it might have been quicker to TJ to take it off their hands and their books.

  23. Screw this codes minimum of 175$ We should figure out who lives nearby us and combine orders!!!! Even if we had to ship stuff ourselves it would be cheaper than j.crews costs. AND we could split the J.crew shipping cost and SAVE BIG.

    I LOVE COOPERATION

  25. Anybody want to try?? lol. I think its a neat idea

  26. Love this. Thank you J.Crew.

    I've been holding off in getting the Selima glasses. Now...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Can this go with the educator's discount? I never know...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Does anyone know if the Crackle-metallic Mary Jane heels? I'm thinking of purchasing the metallic sherbert color using the 20% (it's the only color available in my size). Also, if you purchased these did you really like them?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oops I meant to ask if anyone knew if the Crackle-metallic Mary Jane heels run true to size?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh JCrew how you tempt me!

    I had every intention of being good & NOT buying too much stuff. Then they post a discount on sale items & have stunning photos of Michelle Obama in Vogue... I'm right back on the site.

    In the end, I pushed my colour comfort zone with a tea rose sweater, skirt & tee. I intende to mix 'em up with some grey, brown or tan pieces. Even so, I'm not certain if I'll look as great as Michelle. On the plus side, the sale associate was kind enough to apply my educator discount. I guess it will make up for the shipping$$$

    Hope all my fellow addicts errrr aficionada's find their perfect "can't resist" piece as well.

    Happy shopping,

    Heather:D

  31. Does anyone know if I can get the student discount online somehow? Maybe if I call them? I live in Canada and HATE getting screwed on the student discount because I can't shop at the B&M stores.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Great to see a code, but can't stack coupon codes for the FS :(
    Wish they would also update their site earlier or later like they used to. Miss the update when at work.
    I think someone else mentioned previously- would be nice if they gave a discounted shipping for cardholders or free shipping period.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Can't do it. Have no money left... I wish that JCrew would come out with a chic 'hobo' barrel. That is my next look. Seriously though, how much longer will this bad economy last? It is getting to be a real drag. I am moving into my van. I may liquidate my JCrew wardrobe...

  34. The eyelit mini seems to fit TTS. Its a really nice piece. I loved it so much I was going to buy at full price but then thought about it. I have been stalking it ever since.

  35. melissa,

    I have heard stories on here of people calling and getting the discount applied over the phone, and in some cases email. I think if you explain your situation they will be happy to do it for you because it keeps you as a repeat customer. I could be wrong but I would call and try it. If you get a no, call again and try it with another J.Crew Associate. Its all about if you get the right person at the right time.

    HTH!

    Also, you can't do it online. An associate has to key it in for you.

    Just keep calling and hopefully you get the right person.

    good luck

  37. I was able to get 20% + Free shipping by calling into CS:) I ordered the Aubrey in Berry, the pearl cluster bracelet, victoria in Camel stripe and a few FS tees.

  38. I received this email but won't be using the code.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sadly, I placed an order for the $100 free shipping last night. :( Oh well. :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Man, the sale section is down to the dregs, isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  41. I just pulled the trigger and used the SHHH code to order the melody dress in sweet lavender, the cotton pelisse dress in dusty rose and the soft jersey sara dress in dark slate. I hope there's nothing wrong with the sara dress, they put it in final sale pretty quickly...

    ReplyDelete
  42. I happened to be in my B&M (to return the hexagon jacquard mini) when I received this email on my cell :) So I took advantage of the code and ordered a few items via the red phone. The personal shopper there was kind and enthusiastic to offer FS in addition to the 20% off so it was double great.

    I also picked up the Palermo metallic jacquard sandals and a few crown bangles. These bangles are absolutely adorable and more vibrant in real life. The website pictures do not do them any justice at all.

  43. Sorry for the OT:

    Any idea on the differences between "slub cotton-silk" and "cotton slub silk"?

    I finally made it to my local NYC TJ Maxx. No signs of JC anywhere though the associates said they definitely received JC shipments in the past.

  44. I am so proud of myself. I have been on a shopping ban and sticking to it! Normally I would have been all over this code and bought something but it is still freezing here and I have plenty of JCrew to tide me over. I know others are on a shopping ban too so 20% which is not that great really is easy to pass up...

    I am glad those of you that can use this do but for me this is a pass!

  45. Great coupon! My fiance was planning on getting an Aldridge suit for our wedding and when this coupon showed up in the email, we jumped on it. And to our surprise the suit was being marked down $100 bucks anyway -- I saved more than $200 with this coupon!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hi Just wanted to say I'm sooo glad we have this blog. I never get the emails for the coupon codes until around 3pm. Many thanks to all that share on this site.

  47. i've recently become a j crew fan and i'm looking to buy some items online. has anyone purchased the eyelet mini? does it run small? i'm usually a size 0 in banana republic and most other stores and wanted to get an idea as to what size to order? thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Anon @ 11:55, the eyelet mini runs TTS. I am also a size 0 in skirt and dresses in BR. I took the 4 because the 2 was too short at the back for me. I am 5'7". The waist of the 4 is not terribly loose so it works out fine.

  49. twiga: you will LOVE the pearl cluster bracelet! i cannot wait to wear mine :)

  50. Have any of you ladies purchased the Jack Purcell sneakers? I wear an 8 in women sizes. What size should I purchase? Please advise...

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'm an 8 and wear 6.5 Jack Purcells.

    HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Thanks Lee... I just ordered mine in 6.5 on waitlist can't wait to get them :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. I too just ordered the jack purcells and had no idea the white was selling out. The CS rep in the phone told me SOLD OUT, not backordered or waitlisted. She did a find it for you search and found them in my size and they are on the way! I wouldn't wait...if you want them I would just call and have them do a search, it took the girl 10 minutes and she had the shoes. I also got the regular ones that GAP is selling. I want to pick between the 2 pairs because I am not sure how different the "distressing" is. Anyone with info on that? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I originally ordered the white Jack Purcells in 6.5 & called back to change them to a 6 today (they were on waitlist for Monday shipping.)I usually wear a 7.5 or 8in shoes, but I went to TJ Maxx to see if they had any JC shoes (which they didn't) however they did have some Converse & I tried on the 6.5 & they were big & the 6 fit just perfect they had them in various colors light pink, navy, black but no white. HTH
