"Thanks!" to Silver Lining (in this post) who shared the following news with us:
Hey JC cardholders, keep an eye on your mail - I received a new card yesterday (not sure why, since they don't have an expiration date on them) and included in the envelope was a coupon for 20% off your next purchase of $100+ online or in store when you use the JC card. Good until 11/18/12. The coupon says "Here's a little something special (after all, we did promise you perks)". Hee hee!"Thanks!" to FirefighterWife who also shared that news and the image above which shows the backside of mailer.
That is a pretty nice surprise to find! So keep an eye out in the mail for your new credit card and coupon from J.Crew! :)
I got one too but I wonder something? Is receiving this new black card and coupon based on a acheving a certain spending level? I for one have spent more than usual at Jcrew this year. Not really proud about that though when I think of all the other uses for that money!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is going out to all cardholders, or if it's only going out to cardholders with an older version of the card. I've only ever had the black card, so I will be surprised if I get a new card & coupon, but I will keep an eye out for it just in case.
DeleteIt's a new credit card? I got a new one not too long ago. Hope I'm included. Any news on the rewards cards?
ReplyDeleteI got mine in the mail yesterday with coupon enclosed. Now if it had free shipping with it I would be more inclined to use it!
ReplyDeleteShopping Celle and Cate,
ReplyDeleteI have barely used my JCrew card at all in the past two years--very disappointed in their offerings and poor quality.
Before getting this new credit card yesterday I had a silver card b/c I used to buy A LOT for many years and used to get very large rewards cards!
That's interesting. So you think they downgraded you to the black card because you haven't shopped there a lot lately? I'd hate to see how much I'd have to spend to be moved from a black card to a silver card!
DeleteNo. That is not what I meant. It is not a downgrade. My limit is still crazy high??? I called and new cards r being issued.
DeleteHi Shopping Celle - I think that this is something we could all speculate on (like who gets certain gifts/perks) but there's probably not much rhyme or reason to it. I've moved from a green to silver to black card throughout the years, but haven't spent much at all in over a year. This card looks identical to the one currently in my wallet.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't mean that! I was just hoping everyone gets one so it is fair to all cardholders. Lately some of the recent promotions didn't really seem very equitable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Silver Lining! Now if I do get a new card I won't be wondering what's going on.
ReplyDeleteWonder if I will get this. I've had the same green card for well over a decade now. I opened it in college and never got upgraded to the silver or black cards even though I used it quite a lot and my limit increased exponentially over the years. Not sure what the criteria are for moving up in the color scheme, but I apparently never met them. These days I use the card almost never since the 5% rewards are a joke IMO, and since I'm continuously excluded from every promo despite complaining to customer service time and time again, I'll keep my expectations low. In a way, I almost hope they leave me out of this too so I can feel better about the mound of returns I have sitting at home and have reason to go back on my boycott. JC is hard on my wallet when they're actually keeping me happy.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that there were black, green and silver cards. I got a card two months ago and they sent me a black one. Does this mean I'm getting a new one after such a short time?
ReplyDeleteI received the new card and 20% offer yesterday. I've had the silver card for a few years. I've spent very little at J. Crew this year, due to a job change and less need for the type of dressy work clothes I enjoy wearing. I also got the 25% off one time offer awhile back. It seems it's sort of like with guys--the less interested you act, the more they court you. Hope this is a widespread deal that many can take advantage of.
ReplyDeleteI got a new card in the mail yesterday with the 20% off coupon. I think I had my previous card about 2 years, so I'm thinking J Crew just reissues new ones periodically for security reasons, since they don't otherwise have expiration dates.
ReplyDeleteI lost my green JC card and the replacement I got is black. But didn't get any % off.
ReplyDeleteI was offered to open a card with a special offer of 20% off. That was last night.
ReplyDeleteI got the card and the coupon. My spending at JC has dramatically dropped in recent months, so I suspect that's why they gave me one.
ReplyDeleteI got the black card which will replace my green card with the 20 off coupon.. I never got the 25 off perk last month though but my spending has increased this month. Random.
ReplyDeleteI think they are doing away with green and silver and are just making all the cards black. I was silver after spending a lot in 2008-2009, but there weren't any additional benefits to being silver as opposed to green. I just got the new black card with the coupon. My spending has drasticaly decreased over the past year because I'm not interested in much, or I'm interested but then disappointed when I get it and just return it.
ReplyDeleteI also received a new card to replace my green one with a 20% off coupon in the mail. I have not been using my JC card much at all in the past 6 months, maybe longer, since the prices have been increasing and I have another card I use that has better rewards. I am with Mary G. on this one, I think the less you spend the more offers they give you (which makes no sense). I haven't been purchasing as much and I also received the 25% promo a while back.
ReplyDelete"After all, we did promise you perks." Damn straight, and glad they're acknowledging it. Um, but I think they promised them to ALL cardholders.
ReplyDeleteI would like to receive this discount offer due to the extended expiration date--there wasn't anything I particularly wanted/needed over the weekend 25% off, but I'm sure something will come along before 11/18.
Earlier this year my green card was replaced by a black card they sent me. I'm assuming that means I'm not going to be part of this group that receives a new card and a discount. Luckily there is not one single thing I would even be remotely interested in on the site at the moment! I keep telling myself, maybe the next roll out.
ReplyDeleteDid not get this...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you have to shred your old card. I didn't know I had a new card in envelope until a week later when I went to throw out envelope and my mom stopped me to show me it. I personally think the black card feels "cheap" compared to the green card I have now. I will have to contact customer service and find out. They need a live chat feature on their website instead of a pop up because when I need it, it doesn't pop up and vice versa
