A Surprise Inside J.Crew's March Catalog...

"Thanks!" to JenLynn (in this post), who shared the following news.

The latest J.Crew catalog sent to customers may have a unique promotional code (for something like 20% off on any order, free shipping with no minimum, or $20 off a certain amount). The offer expires March 13, 2011.

On a related note, I got the new catalog sent to me yesterday. I was so surprised that I got it (& so early) that I flipped to see if I got a promo code too. Alas, I did not. But I am thrilled nonetheless to have "made it" on their catalog list. :)

So double-check your catalog to see if you got a unique promo code too! :)

  1. Where would it be? I got a catalog too, and all I see is a big ol' insert that says ALREADY A REGULAR? Why not earn rewards? Phooey!

  2. I got the same as Elaine, which is sort of silly, because I already have a card!

  3. I received a catalog w/o a discount code.

    It sure is nice to have such pretty colors on the catalog for a change. The black print on a bright white background reminds me of Madewell's web style.

  5. Nope, no coupon code for me neither. BUT, this is my first time receiving a catalogue from J.Crew so....YAY!

    Having a catalogue on hand is SOO much better than just the website. I love the feel of paper! Plus, it feels like I can see the items a little more upclose.

    Can I just say how cute all the swimwear is? WANT IT ALL!

  6. I received not one, but TWO catalogs yesterday (one for me and one for hubs) and neither of them had an insert! I thought for sure my chances would improve since two catalogs came :-) Maybe next time....

  7. Catalog received as well but no code! BOO!!

    Got the madewell one probably b/c i've never shopped there.

    Any good samaritan that wants to email me theirs since I gave mine to a JCA feel free :)

  8. No coupon code in my catalog, either.

  9. I'd love to have a coupon- anyone wish to share? I can pay a few dollars for it. Thanks!

  10. Two catalogs here (one for DF, one for me) and no coupons. I haven't gotten coupons in a few months, but over the summer I was getting them. I wonder how they decide.

    Oh well!

    Lots of popbacks, I don't even bother checking anymore, it's like going down a dead-end alley.

    Can you tell that my husband is working afternoons this month so he is on school-run duty instead of me? So I can put on my inventory-girl hat. Like I don't have better things to do!

  13. Finally got a catalog after not shopping for a month. No special code. Just the j crew reward insert.
    I don't know why they decided to send me one again.
    The amount on my reward card or not shopping?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I received my catalog yesterday and only got the rewards card insert in it.

  15. I usually get my catalogs 2 weeks into the month so don't expect mine for a while. I never get the catalog codes though. I'm sure it is because I buy regularly so I don't need incentive.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm on the "never give her a code" list.

  17. I received my catalog yesterday but no coupon code.

  18. Seems like there's a whole lot of "no code for me on here" - we must all be too regular! :) Add me to that list - got the catalog but only the card insert for me.

    I have to say though, it was another lovely catalog. I really enjoyed flipping through it. Yay spring! :)

  19. I didn't get a code, but I was really excited to see that they have Crystal Renn modeling swimwear in the catalog. I don't recall ever seeing them use a "plus size" model for any catalog in the past, and I think it's kind of a cool thing for them to do. I'm willing to bet that Crystal would have been able to look good in a 2 piece without covering up with several layers, but it's something.
    Here's an article about it with the pictures:

  20. Kelli, thanks for the link! I noticed that the one model seemed to be normal looking... I was puzzled since JC always uses the super skinny ones. Glad to see this! Not that I have anything against tall skinny people, being that I am one myself, it is just so much better to see the clothes on different body types!

  21. I've been a card member for years and have received catalogs for even longer and I didn't get a code in my last catalog either!! I am hoping to get a pair of those gladiator wedges if anyone isn't using their code, we can negotiate.

  22. i got my catalog in the mail today & received a 20% off code!! yay!!...i've been getting the catalog for about a year now, and it's always had the promo code inside...i don't have a JCREW card, and i don't shop there too often either, but when i do, it's mostly sale items...i'm not sure why i get it, as opposed to others, but i'm definitely glad that i do :)

  23. Here's a transcript from my chat with the pop-up chat:

    Thank you for shopping J.Crew--a specialist will be with you shortly.

    You are now chatting with Danielle M.

    Danielle M: Hello! How may I help you today?

    You: hi, a friend of mine got a jcrew catalog in the mail with a code for 20% off

    You: my catalog didn't have that code

    You: is that a mistake?

    Danielle M: I am happy to help.

    Danielle M: While the 20% coupon was not mailed to every customer, we’re always looking for new ways to thank our loyal customers and will be working on other special promotions, so make sure to keep your eyes out. We’ll continue making every effort to reach all of our customers as we consider these next efforts.

    You: okay, i had to return a dress that was too big (that i used a code on) and now that code is out of date

    You: is there any way to get a code for the order i want to place?

    Danielle M: I am sorry about that.

    Danielle M: We are currently not running any promotions.

    You: except for those lucky enough to get a catalog with one in it?

    Danielle M: That is correct.

    You: that seems a little unfair.

    You: i am going to hold off on my order until i get lucky i guess

    Danielle M: I understand. Can I help with anything else today?

    You: no.


    They really don't care!

  24. I didn’t get a code, but I really like the model (Edia Vilkevičiūtė) of recent J.Crew catalog and collection photos. She did a campaign for Louis Vinton monogram and current Bluemarine.
