J.Crew Bounce Back Program {rewards card & maternity too}

"Thanks!" to rcb.shops & AD MD (in this post) who let us know that J.Crew is running a new in-store only promotion. Customers who make a purchase at a brick & mortar store will receive a 20% off coupon. This coupon can be used in stores, or online starting August 9th, through September 15, 2013.

I have not seen a promotion like this from J.Crew before. J.Crew sure is offering a lot of great offers lately and I am liking it.:)

And while I am at, there are a few other things worth mentioning...

"Thanks!" to rosie (in this post) who let us know about the following related to J.Crew's rewards card:
Update! I did a chat and just found out: "Good news - the rewards card were actually sent out today. A digital copy of your card will be sent to you email on August 5th."
So if you are a card member, *check* your mail in the upcoming week to see if you got your Rewards Card! :) 

Lastly, "thanks!" to cortney_joy (in this post), as well as rosie (in this post) who let us know that J.Crew has a new division: Maternity! Click here to shop online.

Very exciting to see J.Crew branch out into maternity!

  1. Popsugar has a few more details on the maternity collection here. They say "The folks at J.Crew just informed us that while the initial rollout just includes the two pants, they plan to add a few denim styles later in the season, so be on the lookout!"

  2. Ooh, this is interesting! Thanks so much for the info. I hope every one who makes a purchase gets the bounce back card.

  3. I wonder if you have to purchase a full price item. I purchased a sale item using my JC card and got nothin

  4. I saw them giving them out yesterday when I was doing returns. I bought three Baggu bags for a grand total of $12 after I did my returns so I guess I didn't qualify - or both me and the SA forgot. Not sure.

  5. My husband bought a full price shirt yesterday and didn't receive any coupons.

  6. I received a coupon and exchanged a skirt for another skirt (both were the same price) and purchased the wool hat with the emblem because my store had just received them. HTH

  7. Just called my local JCrew to check and see if they were participating in this promo. I was told that they are and that they will give out the coupons as long as they last, no minimum purchase.
    Thanks to all who shared this info. I haven't been to a store in ages, this may be worth the drive. I'd love to try the Andie chinos and see the new Tippi colors IRL.

  8. Although I am happy to see more promos, this promo actually made me pretty mad since they closed our only J.Crew store. They are excluding everyone that does not have access to a B&M. I am very unhappy with the
    crew. :(

  9. i was just at my jcrew and bought 2 things... no coupon for me... i even "innocently" asked and the SA said that it was for factory.

    soooo... i don't know what the deal is, but i walked away sans coupon.

    :(

  10. So weird that they're not consistent! My store (Copley Place in Boston) did have the promo, but I didn't see any signs advertising it and no one mentioned it until I specifically asked. The SA didn't mention anything about a minimum purchase requirement. So I guess call your store ahead of time to confirm if they are running the promo, unless you were planning to shop anyway?

  11. Anyone have any insider info (SA's or VPS's) as to what we can expect after Sun...when the 40% final sale finishes ? As Monday is a holiday in Canada...wondering if they will throw us a bone ? they have offered free shipping before . I feel a FP promo coming on...or is it just because there is nothing I want right now. Bring on the fall sweaters please.
    I did stop by both of Vancouver's downtown stores...both lacking in sale stuff. Last year at the end of Aug I made out extremely well at 50% off sale and prices were less then US store prices. Somehow I don't see this happening as there is minimal stock . Anyone have any predictions?

  12. I'm not happy about the new maternity plans. It's bad enough that my catalogs contain crewcuts and men's selections- now with maternity women's will be cut down even more. I think they should have separate catalogs and that way people can "subscribe" to what they're interested in.

  13. Stopped by my local store and waited for the SA to offer it but nothing. I saw them and asked. The SA played dumb but I told her they were right there. She finally gave me one. Not sure how they select who to give it to but I wasn't happy about having to ask.

  14. I'm sad to hear JCAs aren't getting the cards. I will say that thanks to info here at The Mothership, we are often better informed than the sales associates. I once watched a sales assoc walk past the clearance section with signs screaming 30% off, get to the register and be surprised when a mgr informed her that a 30% promo was still in effect. Did you not just walk past all those signs?

    I say cheerfully inquire about the promo if you don't receive one. There's a chance the sa simply doesn't know about it. I didn't see them at the register when I was in the store yesterday. A mgr broke them out of a packet. So who knows what's going on.

    I have a pic of the bounce back card in this post. Along w/reviews of the Indian cotton patchwork plaid popover & whisper peasant tunic.

    1. Now I'm really not happy because I even emailed CS about it and I got a long story about promotions for crew cuts and credit card but no bounce back promo. Grrrrrrr.

  15. That's pretty awesome! I won't be able to make it into a store for the next several days because I'm on a business trip, so if anyone received a card but doesn't plan on using it could you let me know? I'd be forever grateful!

    1. I was able to get a card -- thank you again to all the JCAs and Alexis for spreading the good word. :)

  16. I wonder if this promo is like the Factory excursion vests, put out too soon in a few places and now they're trying to pull it back.

    1. I had the same experience. They were out before the 40% promo, so I went to pick one up with the 15% teacher discount as well, and they had pulled them off the floor!

  17. I can't believe they are not offering them up to everyone when they purchase something. That is just insane. I just can't believe that they don't know about them or have them.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Does anyone know how long that they are giving out these cards in stores or does it go just through the weekend. I placed a charge send order Friday so hopefully the SA will be kind enough to throw one into my package!

  19. The in-store cards were definitely going yesterday. I purchased one of the Face Stockholm lipsticks yesterday on sale and was given a 20% off coupon. If that qualifies, I would think everything else does too.

    1. And i purchased the exact same thing and was not offered a coupon! Go figure!

  20. I plan on stopping at the store next week and ordering something on the red phone. I can't even find enough stuff online to get free shipping, so I'm stopping in. I'll ask about the coupons and see if I can snag one even though I'm not purchasing from the store. I would....but they don't carry the item I want. Go figure, right?

  21. Just came back from the store, Miami, Dadeland mall. Bought some sale items and got the discount card, yay! Tax free too!

  22. If anyone has a bounce back code that they're not planning to use, I'd love to have it.

  23. I would also welcome a bounce back code, as I have a pair of shoes in my cart that is not carried in store.

  25. What's the deal with the bounce-back card? Went to the store Sunday and spent $$$ but nothing was offered.

  26. I too would love to have a bounce back code if anyone is not planning to use it!

  27. I am kind of annoyed because in the past week I spend around 550 dollars in BM and online I made BM purchases on Friday and Saturday at two different stores asked for the card and didn't get one.

  29. Thrilled about the new maternity pieces! I'm four months preg and dreading the inevitable shift to maternity clothes. The offerings from mat retailers are just so bland. Can't wait to see what else JC offers - I hope they keep expanding this new collection!!
