J.Crew is doing it again! They are giving customers who log-in to their account a little {fabulous} surprise. (Refer to here and here).A big "thanks!" to Casual Crew (in this post) who shared some wonderful and exciting news:
I signed into my acct this am to check the status of an order that has not shipped yet, there is another message for fs for today only."Thanks!" also to Silver_Lining & FFM (in this post) who confirmed receiving this morning the promotion of free shipping, as well as free monogramming! Also, "thanks!" to Just Visiting who shared with us the email above. For some customers, this offer extends until 11/22/09.
I have to say that I love that J.Crew is offering this promotion. I think this is a great incentive to open and maintain an account with them! After reading some of the comments, it sounds like those who are getting this current offer include customers who received the offer in the past month or two as well as those who have not yet. So it's definitely worth checking your account. :)
I immediately checked my account {of course!} and noticed that {once again} I was not selected. Isn't this the definition of crazy (doing something over and over again, expecting different results)? ;)
Well, thank goodness for those FB codes! ;) J.Crew is right now offering free shipping (no minimum) with promo code FACEBOOK. This offer expires 11/10/09.
Incidentally, J.Crew also sent an email this morning with the subject line, "Love J.Crew? We love you too." The email reminds us why we should become a fan of their Facebook page (click here to view).Lastly, don't forget to log-in to your account online. It's worth a try to see if you are selected to get free shipping (with no minimum!) & free monogramming on your order. :)
I didn't get one of these last time but did get one this time for FS and free monogramming. Unfortunately, there's nothing I really want to buy right now. Maybe if they beefed up the sale section I would bite on some jewelry/shoes, but it's 7 AM and no sale update. :(
ReplyDeleteThere is 1 Silk Pleated Lombard Cardigan, M in heather graphite, on "sale" for $100 in case anyone wants to grab it.
ReplyDeleteI did get the free shipping this morning in my account. I just placed an order though, so I probably will not use it this time around. I appreciate the gesture though.
I didn't get this one last time, either...this is a first for me. Oh, and I also got the free monogramming on this, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI finally have the free shipping (and free monogram) text when I log into my account.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I received the FS and monogramming this time when I logged in and went through every sale item and there is nothing I really needed/wanted at this point. Boo hoo. Oh well. I'm just glad they remembered me this time!
ReplyDeleteI just received a catalog with a FS code - that expired Oct. 4th. >.<
ReplyDeleteThank the flying spaghetti monster for FB codes!
Diana, I got that catalogue too! I received it Saturday, November 7 and the code inside expired October 4. I called and they gave me another one.
ReplyDeleteI logged in an got free shipping today, too. If the sale section updates, I may take advantage.
Alexis,
ReplyDeleteI have not gotten any of the free shipping codes either. Yes, thank goodness for all the Facebook free shipping codes!!!!
I don't think I would use the free monongramming anyway. I do get it free all the time from LLBean with my Visa.
It was there for me as well; too bad there's nothing I need or want. Hard to imagine; me without an order or a want. ;)
ReplyDeleteYay, just got the facebook email!
ReplyDeleteCan't let ite go to waste...must go shop now ;)
i like that they've added the free monogramming, but i don't even see anything that i want.
ReplyDeletea restock is definitely in order!
You said that you're glad the sale didn't say "final." I'm fairly new to all the JCrew hoopla. Please tell me why a final sale is so bad.
ReplyDeleteEveryone: Thanks for sharing! I have updated the post with your comments.
ReplyDeleteSummer: Maybe one day, we will get to see the special offer in our accounts. {fingers crossed!} :)
Sherri: Final sale means you cannot return the item. This isn't so bad if you already tried on the sale item and/or know your size & fit. However, some times an item might not run true to size. So this added condition of final sale can be a bit annoying. Hope this helps! :)
I didn't get this offer again. I always get a high minimum free shipping offer but never a freebie. Thanks for posting other codes though!
ReplyDeleteSherri: "FINAL SALE" means you are not able to return or exchange that item noted FS on your receipt. You can be stuck with items that don't fit you well and sometimes they send you a wrong size or damaged/defective ones since the warehouse team does not seem to do a thorough check on what they receive. However, if you call CS they pretty much take back damaged/defective ones. HTH.
I received the same email this morning, thanks JC! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just logged in to check and I also got the free shipping and free monogramming message! It says "for today" so I don't know if it will last until the 22nd as the email says (I haven't gotten the email yet).
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI, I got the free shipping code last time (but not the earrings).
I did get the free shipping offer, but seriously, there's nothing I wanna get. :(
ReplyDeletethanks all for the info. on what's a "final sale."
ReplyDeleteBTW, I heard a rumor that new merchandise will be in the stores around Friday the 13th. Has anyone else heard this?

ReplyDeleteI agree with all the comments. There is nothing I want from JCrew. I cannot believe I just typed that sentence!!!
ReplyDeleteI again received the free shipping code--until 11/22. I think the added monogram offer is fabulous and pretty great for Christmas BUT (there always seems to be one) it can be dangerous unless you or your gift recipient indeed knows it, loves it and indeed fits it;) For myself--this could be okay but I would hesitate with certain gifts. Also, I have never seen so many free shipping codes..it's as though they finally listened to all the bitching we do LOL!
ReplyDeleteOT
IMO I highly doubt we are going to see a percent off full price this holiday season. They seem to be sticking to their theory of trying to change minds on this front. As you can see, there isn't even anything new in the sale section and for once it doesn't even have to do with a percent off sale but truly a lack of merchandise! Perhaps, gone are the days of holding out for that coat to go down to $99 bucks:( Inventory is down..period. I bet we will see the percent off a certain item (usually coats and sweaters) but not so much off anything our hearts desire (which I would LOVE.) I hope I am wrong. They are going to HAVE to move some slackers over to sale soon...aren't they? please? *whimpering*
Kudos to J.Crew for offering this. I may buy some Christmas presents, but I don't see anything I really need (or want, for that matter).
ReplyDeleteI got it too! I got the first one but missed the second round and I guess I am important to them again. I poked through the holiday sale but it seems a little sparse. Hopefully there is more to come because I really want to get the wool twill pants in heather latte but refuse to pay $138 for them.

I'm not shopping right now but it feels nice to be included! I didn't receive the e-mail but did receive the notice when I logged in. I wonder if the FS will last through a sale update or two.
ReplyDeleteI agree with others that even if I don't shop it was very nice to get it, but since lately my JC emails are sporadic (as opposed to almost daily?!), is it really good for several weeks, or just for one day. I'd be very happy if it is more than one day. This is first time I have ever gotten ANY perk or reward despite a history of spending a lot, and is ironic since I don't buy much now with the sizing issues. I wonder at the timing as I just placed an order (small, one necklace), on the weekend.....
ReplyDeleteJust tried logging in, no freebies for me today. On the flipside, there's nothing I need or, gasp, really want right now. I'd think about maybe getting a new peacoat in a fun color if there's a TURKEY or HOHOHO later this year, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI actually received the silver Lexi clutch and it is suh-weet! I know opinions on the clutch are divided, but it's just right for me. I love the non-blingy yet fun finish, it's not saggy like the matte leather Lexis, and the size is perfect for when I don't want to lug around too much junk. It's also a completely different size and shape than anything I already own. The removable and adjustable strap is easy to use, and doesn't seem too flimsy IRL. I'm not worried about the round magnet closures looking a bit off, since I'll only use this with the bag folded it won't show. I'm really glad I snagged this quirky gem at around 70% off and free shipping!
so sad..i did not get either offer when i logged in. hopefully i'll be in the next round!
ReplyDeleteOff Topic-
ReplyDeleteI just received another item (third time!) in the mail that was "Waitlisted" and I had cancelled via phone. There seems to be a major disconnect in the orders placed on line and the order history available to the sales reps on the phone. So annoying! Also, the item in question had been available in my color & size for weeks online and they were just now getting to my Wait List order.
FYI...
sweetsy,
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that we probably won't see a percent off regular price overall. I also, highly doubt that there will be any TURKEY or HOHO promos like last year. JC had excess merchandise and needed to move it esp. with the poor economy. They planned better this year, inventory is low, and full price (at least until after the holidays) is probably going to be the name of the game.
Interesting! I logged in this morning and got the free shipping/monogramming message. A few minutes ago, I logged in again, and it is gone! With a mock checkout, I did not get free shipping. Did anyone else have their offer taken away?
ReplyDeleteIf you think you have free shipping, you'd better double-check: When I saw this post on JCA this morning, I signed in, and sure enough, upon sign-in I had a message offering free shipping and free monogramming. When I went back to the site just now, the message didn't appear, nor did the free shipping appear when I did a mock-checkout. I tried it on a couple of different browsers and had the same result. (Hmm, it's like they *saw* my comment that I wasn't shopping this week and yanked it back.)
ReplyDeleteAppGal! same thing happened to me too! I logged in this morning and it was there... I even got the email too! But now when I try to do a mock check out like you, there is nothing! I wonder what happened? I'm glad its not just me. I was going to email CS later on. If you hear any news please let me know! TIA! :)
ReplyDeleteAppGal...
ReplyDeleteI logged in this morning and got the free shipping/monogramming message.
I figured I'd check it out later and a few minutes ago, I logged in again, and it was gone too! I didn't even do a mock checkout. Oh well I knew it was to good to be true.
Yep mine is gone too, it was there this am.
ReplyDeleteI agree - there will be no HOHOHO or TURKEY promos this year. But I do wonder if they will feel any of the heat of pretty much all of the other major lines already offering 30% off with free shipping? (AT, ATL, BR, Gap, M&O, Boden, etc, etc.) Maybe their inventory is that tight that they wont... but already this shopping season, a much larger % of my shopping dollars have not gone to J Crew than in the past. I am happy they are waking up to Free Shipping w/ no minimum! That is huge in my book :)
ReplyDeletemack,
ReplyDeleteI agree. I have basically cut shopping at JCrew by about 75% and have been spending at Boden and Land's End and LLBean way more than normal! Lots of great deals to be had elsewhere and cute items.
The free shipping from JC is great but since the sale section is so limited I haven't used them. I would have liked to have had the free codes a few months ago.
The Cotton check shirt item 23050 is already backordered until Dec 12. I agree we will not be seeing any % of this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for a 20% off promo. or I'd even take 10% off!!! I'm loving some of the jackets and coats but J Crew is asking too much $$$ for them right now.
ReplyDeleteSummer - that's the catch! What is different this year than last year - all of those retailers have really upped their offerings. They have some really cute things! While I will always love J Crew - I have no problem buying something way cheaper and just as cute for way less :)
ReplyDeleteAlexis, OT, I think a fun post would be models you would suggest for J. Crew's catalogs. My first thought would be Tina Fey (not saying she would) just because she has that cute/smarty pants look I associate with classic J. Crew.
ReplyDeleteI did get the free shipping the last time around, and I also got it this time. I really feel like I should take advantage of the free monogramming -- I've never had a single thing monogrammed....ever. I can't imagine why I'd start now, but, you know, free and all.
ReplyDeleteI just got it through the 22nd, and I didn't get FP before, nor did I get the earrings. It's nice to get this even though there's nothing I really want right now.
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of discounts from competitors, BR/Gap/ON is doing another Give & Get, 30% off everything plus 5% to charity from the 12-15. I will be partaking. :)
ReplyDeleteIf anyone still needs the invite for the Gap promo^ I'll forward it, my 5% is going to Lymphoma research. Email my your address, klg_12@hotmail.com
