Darlings, is it time for a J.Crew coupon code?

Yes, it is that wonderful time!

A big "thanks!" to Sarah who was kind to let us know that J.Crew is offering free shipping on orders of $150+ with promo code HCK97M. This offer expires 2/1/10.

P.S. I have noticed that other blogs & websites post J.Crew codes & coupons *after* this blog does. If you happen to get codes & coupons from the JCA blog & post them at your site, could you please give give a "shout out" to the JCA blog? This way more JCAs are inclined to share. TIA! :)

  1. I'm just curious about these coupon codes. How do people come across these random ones? I know we all get the emails with the other ones, like "Extra20", "Holiday", etc. but these are so random, just a bunch of letters and numbers, and I was wondering how these come about...

  2. Would I be awful if I posted BOOOOOOO I want free shipping with no minimum? Like you said in an earlier post, I'm happy to help clear out those stragglers from Winter/Holiday 09, I just need a little bit o'Mickey magic to help! :-P

  3. What a relief/disappontment. The heading loaded but not the body of the message and I totally thought it was going to be for a % off. I have a cart full of "eh" that I might move on with % and FS BUT I did just score some coveted
    popbacks and I would have been kinda ticked if *now* there was an addtl %. Only a JCA would understand this... ;)

  5. To follow up on Molly Darling's comments, the 30% off sale is valid through Wednesday, 1/27.

    My guess is JC is running this promotion to make room for new arrivals online on Thursday, 1/28?

  6. I have a question if anyone is still up. Would you order the spicy guava featherweight cashmere considering it's probably a popback? I love that color, but I don't want a return. What are the odds that a spicy guava has been sitting around the warehouse untouched all this time?

  7. Oh, J Crew, you hurt my feelings! And to think, I just placed an order on Friday morning... Anyone have any luck with getting JC to retroactively apply a promotion to a previous order?

  8. Yeah for 30% off. If there was no minimum for free shipping, I would bite but I just placed a HUGE Lands End order so will have to pass...plus, I am not worried my LE order will be wrong or have holes in any sale items:) Happy JC Shopping to others though. LE Canvas is now contected to the regular LE site so can now combine savings for free shipping etc.

  9. I did order more cashmere sweaters. For $69. and FS, yes, I'll do that. Now I just hope I get the right sizes and colors.

  10. jbird: I just did this. I placed an order this morning that is currently in "released" status. I called CS about a half an hour ago, pled my case, and she agreed to apply the discount "just this once." :)

  11. I'm so glad you guys got the promo price, when it's so close to the time of your order, same day and all, it just causes sour feelings otherwise.

  12. o'smom:

    I placed the order this morning and it has already shipped. (Quick for them!) I sent a nicely worded email; I hope they'll consider.

  13. I placed a large order of sale items last night and called CS tonight to see if they could apply the extra 30%. They were really nice and agreed to do it as a one time courtesy. HTH!

  14. Sorry to be OT, but where can I see inventory numbers on items? I was reading the posts from the 7th, where you were discussing the times at which updates occur online, and there were a couple of mentions of being able to see how many are available. Unless I'm reading it incorrectly...not unlikely.

    Any help is appreciated - I will be up all night waiting for a pair of shoes to pop back up!

  15. Oh, thank you Jcrew for the 30% extra discount + Free shipping...More cashmere sweaters, frances shirt, and perfect pencil skirts for me!!! Yeah!!!

  16. opheliasmom, what most typically do is keep adding 9 to the cart of an item. If you go to your cart and it added 9, you might try adding another 9. Go back to cart and refresh. Somewhere in there it will probably say only X number are left and that's what they have.

    It's helpful when there are several things you want but can't afford them all.

  17. Elizabeth: That makes sense, thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Just curious has the site updated yet? I think there was a small update earlier? Probably will be another one sometime this morning but it seem to be more around 7:00/7:30 am Eastern time the past week.

    Opheliasmom, so you might not want to wait up all night:) You are a super duper fan if you do!

  19. Elizabeth,
    Are you truly sure about the cashmere even at that price?
    Personally, I would highly rec. the LE cashmere and their sale price is the same with better quality IMO. (I know there is up to an hour to cancel your order online at JC). There is a free ship code out too with $50 purchase and lots of colors.

    If you like the JC cashmere then great! Just wanted to offer up an alternative.

    I just keep remembering Gigi saying she has a note on her credit card not to buy JC cashmere no matter what the price:) I am trying to hold to that too.

    I did buy some LE in my large order.

  20. Summer,
    As god is my witness, I WILL have those shoes! I know they exist in my size, and were shipped back to corporate on Tuesday. Knowing that updates tend to take place in the wee hours but not on any regular schedule, I'm prepared to stay up for them!

  21. I hope you get them:)I am off to bed and will offer up a big JC shoe prayer for you:)

  22. Genny I'm never sure about anything, hahah. But I have an embarassing number of J. Crew cashmere sweaters. I don't fault Lands End at all and I'm very very interested in their Canvas line. But I like the J. Crew colors. I'm looking at the Featherweight this time and in any given year I don't wear a single sweater that often so they don't typically have a ton of wear. That's because I've been buying them for years. And I do have color regrets and I have had ones that didn't wear well. Sometimes I make an issue and return it but most of the time I don't. Give me a light algae cardigan, a white top a necklace and I know how to get dressed. It's the sparkle vests that confuse me :)

  23. Elizabeth,
    Sounds like a plan:) Good for you.

    ReplyDelete
  24. How about the "sparkle" shorts. Now that just throws me for a loop!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ha! I would be dumbstruck by the sparkle shorts. I'm happy the bold dresser has the sparkle clothes, I admire them for it but I could never pull it off. Maybe New Years Eve?

  27. EXTRA30 code off final sale ends on 01/27/2010!

    Meanwhile, I am awaiting a promo code on suitings! Keep my fingers and toes crossed.

  28. Hooray for extra 30% off sale - free shipping applies to orders $150 after the promo is applied.

  29. Summer, your good thoughts helped! The shoes became available at 4:15 this morning (west coast) and I was able to snag them. I think. Now let's just hope the order is completed correctly and actually arrives on my doorstep!

  30. Glad you got the shoes--and here's hoping they ship ASAP. I was right though about the approx. time the site would update:)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yes, you were. I was able to nap from 1-4am :)
