J.Crew Offers 20% Off Holiday Sale {hazaah!}

A big "thanks!" to many of you, including Kristi, lululady & Marisa (in this post), Sophie (in this post), as well as SC Crew & Athena, who let us know about the following offer.

J.Crew is offering 20% off (no minimum) their Holiday sale online (click here) and free shipping (on $150+ *after* the discount is applied– a bit sneaky here) using promotion code EXTRA20. This offer expires Sunday, 11/29/09.

The following are the actual terms for this promotion:
Just for our fans (we’re telling you early)… get an extra 20% off all items in our holiday sale plus free shipping on orders of $150 or more* when you use promo code EXTRA20 at checkout. http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale.jsp

*Offer valid online only. Offer does not apply to previous purchases, alterations or to the purchase of gift cards. 20% discount applies to sale items only. Free shipping offer valid through Sunday, November 29, 2009 11:59pm ET on Internet orders shipped via regular shipping (4 to 7 business days). Free-shipping applies to online-only orders of $150 or more after 20% discount on sale items and before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Free ground shipping and online savings are applied at checkout with promo code EXTRA20. Offer not valid on telephone orders. This offer cannot be combined with any other promotion.

This is just the offer that some of you JCAs (including myself!) have been waiting for. :)

Are you planning to take advantage of this promotion? Are there any sale item you are looking to get? If so, please share. :)

  4. sorry scratch my last comment- it was weird when i did EXTRA20 w/ normal priced items it just gave free shipping...

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm looking at it right now, and it seems like you have to have a regular priced item in your order to get the free shipping along with the EXTRA20, because when I do the EXTRA20 w/OUT a regular priced item in my cart- no free shipping!!! . . . This is really confusing!

  6. I placed an order early this morning (before I knew about the EXTRA20). I just called CS and they are going to honor the Extra 20% off by issuing me a gift card for the difference. Thank you, J Crew!! And thank you everyone in this post who shared the EXTRA20 code!!

  7. meh. there isn't enough in the sale section to get me up to the 150 and i am not buying anything without free shipping.

    hopefully there is a pretty decent restock around the corner.

  8. spy serge trench coat!! any idea if it is a warm material? or is it more of a fall coat?

    ReplyDelete
  9. i was able to use the 20% on sale items without any problems. i used it to get the questionable tissue stone necklace tee in weathered stone...with the price reduction, 20% off and the fs promo that popped up when i logged into my account, i couldn't resist. Wahooooo!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I don't think there's enough in the Sale section that I want. Right now my cart is full of items for my Hubby's Christmas presents, and they're all FP.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I love all the codes, but at this point I've grabbed everything from sale I was interested in. A code on full price items would be very tempting for me.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I reordered everything from this morning's purchase (both Jeweled garland bracelet colors, Multistrand fireball necklace), plus added the Cossette Mary Janes in black. I gor 20% off plus FS. I'll just return my entire order from this morning when I receive it. :-)

  13. I used the EXTRA20 to get the Tivoli Boiled Wool Cardigan in Amber Grey and the Scalloped stripe scarf. I liked the way Bigger Closet styled this sweater in a recent post on her blog, so I thought I'd give it a try. Love the amber color. Didn't get free shipping on this deal b/c I didn't have any full price stuff in my cart. Happy Thanksgiving all you JCA's!!! :-)

  14. Just got a price adjustment on my order from this morning, even though, as a result of the coupon, I didn't make the minimum. Yay for J Crew's customer service agents (or at least yay for Jane!)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I ordered the wool twill pants, colorblock cardigan, ruffled hem sundress, and the collier tee. Oh, and nail polish to qualify for the fs, lol.

    Everything ends in .99, but nothing is marked final sale, so I hope I can return anything that doesn't fit (I'm a bit worried about the pants and sundress being too big).

    Also, I'm still hoping in vain that the stadium cloth belted coat or Friday coat will go on sale. Then I think I'll be done for the fall/winter season :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. meh. I couldn't get anywhere near $150. Things looked pretty picked through, as well - I was hoping for some other items to pop up, such as some of the patterned skirts or perfect pencil skirt in some of its colors.

    On the other hand, I was planning on getting the Stardust skirt yesterday only to see it sold out - now some are back, but not my size. Would it be better to call customer service, or to go to my local B&M (which isn't stocking it) and ask them to find and ship me one? I'd prefer to avoid the mall this weekend but am willing to do it for the skirt.

  17. Cherry Bomb, someone did a review on that coat a while back and IIRC she said that it was not super warm--more of a fall coat.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Like Patina, I also ordered the tissue stone t, which I was waiting to go below $50 before ordering. It's been sitting in the sale section forever; I bet a lot of other people were waiting for the next price drop too.

    Also got 2 prs of shoes for half the orginal price, the ivory evie for $16, and the merino ethereal cardi. I did not have any FP items in my order and it did give me FS plus the 20% off. I held out ordering after this morning's update since I knew they were going to have to have some sort of % off for t-giving. Luckily everything I wanted was still in my cart!

  19. I already have the Tivoli Boiled Wool Cardigan in charcoal/black and I've been eyeing the amber/grey, so I was excited to see it marked down this morning PLUS the code for 20% off & free shipping! The Tivoli cardigan is soft and comfy but still structured-looking, so it's perfect for the office. My only complaint is the shedding. I wore it with a white shirt last week and had black lint all over the shirt.

    BTW, it's not necessary to buy a full priced item to get free shipping. My cart was 100% sale items. Just make sure your total is >$150 AFTER the coupon is applied.

  20. Amanda- I noticed a bunch of Stardust skirts on ebay this morning! I think someone in another post said they thought the fabric on it was pretty thin, though.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @Jeanne- you're right, maybe that was my problem . . .I haven't placed my order yet but I will keep that in mind when I do. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  22. OT...It is a long shot , I know, but still....If you see the Beaded ribbon-front top, item 19176, in the stores in size 2 could you please, please put it on hold for Diana and let me know at dianastoica at hotmail dot com. Thank you!

  25. Is it OK if I only commit to Cyber Monday for shopping? Holiday shopping kind of terrifies me. Is there an official fear of that?

    ReplyDelete
  26. the had a bunch of the darker stardust skirts at my B&M at towson last week.

    just a fyi

  27. Hi All.. I was thinking of ordering the wool cashmere station coat..does anyone have it ? Could anyone throw some light on it..

    ReplyDelete
  28. Thanks for the code! I did manage to stack up enough things in my cart to get the free shipping, too. The Olive top finally went on sale!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I think it's a J Crew first: the perfect pencil skirt is now offered in Tall sizes. Since I'm almost six feet tall, I hope J Crew continues down this road. Hopefully the minis, which are too mini for me, will be next. Go J Crew!

  30. If I still had clothing money leftover for the year, I'd be biting at this offer. I've had the Amber Tivoli cardi and the DS pencil skirt (tropical aqua) in my cart for a while now. Someone let me live vicariously through them! :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. anyone know how the Nanno cardi runs? TTS? thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  32. st,
    JCrew used to offer tall shorts as well. I have about 6 pairs from around 2003ish time frame. Still going strong....good quality chino fabric and pretty colors from that time.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Grr, I couldn't get a price adjustment on my order from this am, since I got a one time adjustment earlier this fall, so I reordered. Black Cosettes, a Jaspe long sleeve polo for DH, a few CC goodies for DD. I also got the origami CC necklace (probably for me) so I'll just return the entire order I placed earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jeanne, thanks for the comments about the Tivoli Boiled Wool Cardigan. Not happy to hear about the shedding problem, but glad that you think it makes a nice sweater for the office. I also didn't realize that the total needs to be $150 or more AFTER the discount. Sneaky, J. Crew, very sneaky. Grrrr....

    ReplyDelete
  35. Meh. An e-mail offer to buy a really average-looking bag at full price, and 20% off FS with absolutely nothing in it that I really want. And earlier in the week, a bad experience with the cheap glitter minaudiere shedding all over me at my office party! Not much to be thankful for this year for this JCA!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Cheesy:
    I think you deserve a price adjustment if you placed an order early this morning. I had the same issue last week where they would not honor the additional 20% off considering they sent out the email just 2 hrs after I placed the order. I argued that if the promo started the SAME as my order date it is NOT considered a previous order. If JC is going to get all strict about price adjustments then they should right in fine print when the promo starts as they do with the expiration time and date.

    I placed an order this morning too before the code and hopefully JC will do a price adjustment...we'll see how they respond to my email.

    I just can't reorder some of the items since they no longer have it.

  37. Nice promo - hope they update the sale section over the next few days. There must be some merch coming back from the B&Ms with all the holiday rollouts.

    Sure would be nice to get some awesome Thanksgiving deals J.Crew.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thank you for this code! I just got the tortoise shell pumps and gold bow flats...love and saved almost $100 :)!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. There are a couple of items that I'm hoping pop back during this sale. If they come back, then I'll also order the olive top (I've wanted to try this top since it first came out) and the multistrand fireball necklace which I've seen and love.

    ReplyDelete
  40. If anyone is looking for a ride-along to hit the $150 after discount, you may want to consider the wool-blend ribbed tights #87970 @$26.50. I have them and they are really nice. Made in Italy, 60% nylon, 35% wool, 5% spandex. Super comfortable, no itch from the wool, streamlined look and really warm. Very well made, they still looked brand new after two wears and handwashes.

    Wore them for a third time today with a denim mini, Glenbrae flat boots, turtleneck sweater and peacoat. Will definitely add another pair or two to my cart on the next order and stock up if they go on sale later in the season.

  41. There are lots of hidden items on the site, both hidden sale items and items that I am assuming are coming out in the next rollout. For those interested, you might want to do general term searches. Nothing I saw excited me but I have to admit, despite my reticence about JCrew bags, I'm liking the new Grandma chain tote! I wish it came in better colors.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Heidi, basically you have to know what you are looking for. For example, the Pearl-cluster necklace is on sale for $75 (has been for a while) but it doesn't appear in the sale section. If you search for "pearl-cluster" it will come up (and of course the 20% will apply). HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Thanks so much for posting! I finally snagged a Maya cardi that I've been pining for - as well as a couple pairs of Juliets. The extra 20 and free shipping pushed me over the edge!

  44. Does anybody know how sizing at martin+osa compares to jcrew? I wear xs at jcrew, looked at martin
    +osa sizing chart and it seems like I should go with S. Any advice?

  47. The Cotton denim safari jacket is back online in all sizes, and on sale $79.99.

  48. Elena, I size up from my J. Crew size at M&O. I find M&O runs smaller generally. I am XS and 2 usually in J. Crew, and I buy S and 4 in M&O usually.
