I was provided with inconsistent information from different phone associates, some of which was not even confirmed by their supervisor. This is what I wrote to JCrew Customer Service this morning. I took some comments I found on various online blogs, and included it in my email:<BR/><BR/>Dear JCrew Customer Services,<BR/> <BR/>I am a frequent shopper at JCrew stores and online. Recently, I've been provided with different information regarding the applicability of the student discount to my online/phone orders. In stores, when I make a purchase or order (through the red phone), regardless of the current promotions, extra percentage off, I am always able to show a valid student ID and get an additional 15% off my entire purchase. However, on the phone, this seems to be extremely inconsistent and confusing. At times, I am able to apply my student discount without a problem, but during other times, the associates give me an extremely hard time and does not allow me to use the student discount, making the shopping experience very unpleasant. <BR/> <BR/>When trying to place an order on 3/10, a sales associate from the Lynchburg call center told me I would NEVER be able to apply my student discount if I am to use ANY other promotion codes. This was inconsistent with what I experienced on the phone on my previous orders are well as the shopping experiences in stores. To address this concern, I called customer service on 3/10 and 3/11, and I was told that I would not be able to combine "same" types of coupons (e.g. coupons that applied to my entire order), but I would be able to apply the student discount if the coupons applied to "specific" items in my order (e.g. a specific final sale item). I was also told that IF I made my order ONLINE myself and not through the phone, I just have to send in an email from my student address, and the discount would ALWAYS apply - is this true? If this is true, I would certainly not want to go through explaining to the sales associate over the phone if I can apply the student discount to any purchases or types of orders I make online. To reiterate, all this information is extremely confusing and laced with inconsistency, especially when the information provided by the associate on the phone (can never use student discount with any promotions) and in-store (can apply student discount to ANY purchase) don't even match up!<BR/> <BR/>Before writing to voice this concern, I did some research online, and I noticed that many other students are also having this same issue with online/phone orders:<BR/> <BR/>"After spending $600, I was extremely disappointed that J Crew would not apply the 15% student discount. I was told that because I used the TURKEY code, it could not be applied. However, I had a friend who received the discount on top of the TURKEY code the day before. The thing that irks me is that nowhere on their website does it say that the student/teacher discount cannot be applied w/other discounts, which they readily admit. I will think twice the next time I want to make a J Crew purchase. 15% for a student desperately needing business casual attire adds up when you're spending a significant sum."<BR/> <BR/>"As a store associate, we've heard great responses to this and we DO combine BOTH the teacher's discount as well as the student discount with sale promotions such as the additional 30% that's on now."<BR/> <BR/>"But, they DO need to be consistent. Some cs will give the extra (in addition with other discounts) and some will not. This is the aggravating part. BE CONSISTENT. I do have to say that I have no trouble using it in my b&m, just online and over the phone (both home and red)."<BR/> <BR/>"I was recently told that I could use the student discount if I didn't also use a free shipping code, and then after I placed the order (without free shipping), I was told that I could not apply the student discount after all!"<BR/> <BR/>"Never had a problem combining discounts in the store. I recently got a J Crew Credit Card and used the 10% new card discount + 15% student discount + 40% final sale at my B&M store and didn't have a problem. I have had a problem getting them to combine discounts for online orders. I usually just try for a different CS until I one that will apply all the discounts. A little time consuming...."<BR/><BR/>As you can see from the compilation of comments I retrieved from various online blogs, alot of other students have been experiencing the same issue. I am writing to suggest JCrew Online/Phone to have consistent policies with the stores. If the stores are able to apply a student discount to ANY orders made by a student with a valid ID, why is it that students are given such a hard time when making phone or online orders? I understand that promotions could vary between stores and online; however, students are still students when we make phone or online orders, I don't understand why the policies are so discrepant and inconsistent. If there is a consistency in the applicability of the student discount to any phone/online/in-store purchases, our shopping experience would be more pleasant.Thank you for your time. <BR/> <BR/>**This may be a waste of time...they probably won't do anything about it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-63761554925866543272008-12-30T21:02:00.000-05:002008-12-30T21:02:00.000-05:00The decision is indeed arbitrary :(I got student d...The decision is indeed arbitrary :(<BR/><BR/>I got student discount + extra 30 on a Final Sale item.

I have had the discount applied MANY times. Once I was told that it couldn't be applied, and I came back to the same store later and it was applied successfully. <BR/><BR/>A manager explained it to me: if you use a coupon to get 25% off (like when they send a coupon in email), then you can't also use the student discount. But since the current 25% off is automatic, you can use it. Sometimes employees are confused about this. Just take your receipt back in and ask for the discount to be applied. They should be able to do this for you. Maybe call ahead to make sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-44260894881907910922008-07-05T00:46:00.000-04:002008-07-05T00:46:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for this info!

I will endeavor to be as helpful and supportive in return :)<BR/><BR/>Btw, I went to my local b&m to exchange some things I got last weekend for size, and they told me they would only do the discount on non-final-sale items. In other words, full price and sale items can have the discount, but not final sale because they get the extra 25% off.
