American Express WishList Includes J.Crew!

"Thanks!" to Elena who shared with us about American Express' Gift WishList (click here to visit the WishList site and click here to read an article about the list). The WishList is described as "a cyber-storefront famous for making once-in-a-lifetime experiences and high-end products affordable for Cardmembers... the annual site, which returns today and runs through December 18th, features incredible deals on some of the hottest products in consumer electronics and fashion, as well as luxurious travel and experiential packages that cannot be found anywhere else".

Well, one of the items for sale involves J.Crew!

Nina Garcia Fashion Experiences

Spend a fashion-filled afternoon shopping for essential pieces for your own wardrobe with Nina Garcia. This opportunity for you and a friend includes a private lunch with the Project Runway judge, a shopping spree and style consultation at the J.Crew Collection store in New York City, two JCrew gift cards, and two signed copies of Ms. Garcia's bestselling books. On sale at 3pm ET Tuesday, December 16th for the WishList Price of $1,500.

The gift cards are valued at $1,000 each. The "experiece" also includes "round trip tickets for two to New York City, as well as accommodations for two at The W Hotel in Manhattan for two nights".

Mini-Update: "Thanks!" to Anon at 10:05 AM (in this post) who shared the following with us: "I called Amex to get the scoop on this. There is only one package available. You have to go to the website and find the JCrew package and unlock it w/ your Amex card. @ 3pm you can try to bid for it- there is a button "I want it now" and you click on that and it will pop up w/ a form that you fill out. If you are lucky you will get placed in a pool w/ other bidders and one will be selected as the recipient via an email notification- received w/ in 24 hours from the time you originally placed a bid. "

What a unique gift for any J.Crew Aficionada or Aficionado! :)

    I am wondering how this works? Is there only one avialable to purchase? I logged onto Amex but the site is slow.

    WOW! What an amazing experience would this be!

    Speaking of wish lists. . . Amazon just introduced a "universal wishlist" which allows you to add items from any site (including J.Crew) to your Amazon wish list. You just have to install a link in your toolbar, similar to the Polyvore clipper. Love it!
