Off On A Tangent: Gap Offers 30% Off

A big "thanks!" to many of you, including Marietta (in this post), who let us know that Gap, Inc is running a "Get 30% off during our Friends & Family" event.

For four days, March 12-15th, they will be offering 30% off all items at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Gap Outlet, and Banana Republic Outlet stores.

To redeem this offer, just click here (or on the image to the left) and print it out (so the associate can scan the bar code).

Happy shopping!

  1. Thanks! There are some cute cuffed Ts at the gap that are way cheaper than JC, will buy. Wish JC would do something similar.

  2. Wow that's a great sale, I'll be checking out the metallic strappy sandals (wayyy less than JC's $98 and up).

  3. Sounds great! JCrew's tees are so overpriced. I can afford to buy JCrew tees but I won't spend that kinds of money on a tee shirt. What a waste for me! $40-50 for a JCrew tee that has holes or falls apart-no thanks. I would rather pay $90 and get a nice sale jacket from JCRew!

  4. The $90.00 J Crew jacket has holes too!

  5. I posted about this on the other thread, but Gap hasn't sent out the official invitations for this program yet, and I'd use this coupon with caution.

    Also, just my opinion, but a huge part of the program is to associate a charity to your spending (Gap donates 5% of your sales to a charity of YOUR choice), and just taking this coupon without associating your spending to a charity seems contrary to the program (offering you a discount to increase spending for charity).

  8. Jenn, it says right on the coupon that it will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

  9. @Anon 2:20 - I saw that after I posted, my bad. I'd still use with caution, given that no official invitations have been mailed out yet...

  10. I hope they offer a similar promotion online. All the items I have wanted are sold out in my sizes in the local stores- but available online! :(v

  11. Official invites are out. I got mine last week!

  12. I didn't even have anything from The Gap in my closet until a few weeks ago, but they have these soft tees that were only $10 a piece on sale. They work a lot like the tissue tee J.Crew sells.

  13. IME Gap is OK and they have some cute things but the quality is not great and they often don't look good after a few wears and washes. A discount like this makes it right on point to pick up a couple of basics like their favorite tee, which is a great layering piece.

    I'm not saying JCrew quality is always better than Gap, because that's not true. I find the Gap favorite tees to fit and hold up just as well as JCrew perfect-fit tees. Anything tailored usually doesn't look as good as new pretty fast though, whereas I find the J.Crew tailored items seem to hold their shape much better. Specifically pants, skirts and blouses.

    Thanks for the code, I'll be buying some tees.

  14. Gap tends to be hit or miss. They do have a few pieces worth a second look. I found a few cardigans which are a good buy with this coupon.

  15. I'm not sure if coupons with the online codes have been mailed out (or if they will be at all). I have a friends and family coupon that I got from a friend who works at Old Navy, and it has a coupon code and also says it can be used on Piperlime, too (yay!). I worked at Old Navy for 3 years, and whenever we had extra coupons, we'd give them to frequent customers. If anyone is interested in getting one of the coupons with the online codes, you could try going into your local Gap, BR, or ON and asking if they have any left. It's worth a try. Also, I believe the online codes only work once while the actual coupon can be used in store as many times as you'd like during the sale.

    Hope this info helps. :)

  16. I got my official one this morning, and it includes a one-time use online code.

  17. Gap pants fit me better and was pumped they are offering this again. I already bought two pairs of these pants (one for heels, other to be hemmed for flats). I am going to return and re-buy to get 30% off.
