J.Crew Factory: Secret Discount Code {check your email!}

"Thanks!" to many of you, including amh783 & Judy (in this post), as well as rebecca, A, Mel, and Irina, who shared the following email/ promotion from J.Crew today.

J.Crew Factory is offering customers anywhere from 10% to 30% off their Factory purchase with a unique (one time) promo code. This offer expires today. The fine print includes:
*Discount valid on a purchase made at jcrewfactory.com on August 19, 2013, from 12:01am ET through 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid in J.Crew or J.Crew Factory stores, jcrew.com or on phone orders. One-time use only. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. To redeem, enter code in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promo code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.
This code is being sent to customer through an email. So double check your email account (and SPAM folder) to see if you got this offer!

In case you were wondering if this is a good deal... a lot of items that were on promotion for 30% off yesterday are back to regular price. I also have seen a lot of pieces still on sale, jump in the sale price too. Very sneaky J.Crew!

What are your thoughts on J.Crew Factory's latest email promotion? Did you get the email? Are you planning to use it today? If so, please share! :)

  1. The things I wanted are back to regular price, so I'm offering my code: FMCEKSFXG.

    Comment if you use it! :)

  2. The Factory pricing games drive me nuts.

    I got 30% off with my own code, so I can't complain much, but all it does is make price the same they were yesterday without promo!

    1. I agree, Rosie. I was eying the Houndstooth blazer yesterday which was priced at $131. I thought with my 30% off code, it would be even cheaper. But it was not to be. The blazer went up in price to $178! Pricing games are just ridiculous. What a bunch of pricing guessing on the consumers part. I don't have the time or energy to check back every other day. I do have things I have to do; like work! ;-)

    2. I agree. I don't understand how they can say 40% off everything on the website and so much is full price. BS, J Crew!! Here is my 30% FMC2U99DL code.

  3. I've been pretty irritated lately with factory prices. They have been only $10-$20 less than retail items. Definitely not attractive enough to warrant a drive to my factory store. What's the point of buying from the factory store if the prices are almost exactly the same as the retail store?

    1. Me too. I feel like they should always include a 30/40% off code, or be at least $30-50 off retail items.

    2. Factory prices are not that much cheaper, so why buy factory items unless you missed out on some retail items. I don't live near a factory store either. Factory items are usually hit and miss for me in terms of sizing. It's either too big or too small even when it's the same size. So do I order something that I'm not able to try on but end up returning it? Sending it back it is a pain because I have to wait for them to process my transaction or do I make the 45 minute drive? Either way, I don't want to do either so I order from retail since I live so close to a retail store.

    3. Totally agree. I wouldn't buy everything from Factory. For example, I tried their blazers over the weekend and the fit is just not the best. The schoolboy is so much better. I would rather spend a little bit more but have a better blazer. Their tees and knits are great. Love some of the shirts. The pants and skirts, not so much.

    4. Mirna-Did you happen to try on the Houndstooth Schoolboy? I'm with you...just pay a few $$ more for retail that usually has better quality and fit. I have a Factory polka dot popover that's white with the jaquard white and navy dots. Doesn't even compare to the retail version. It is super blousy and ill fitting that I end up not wearing it that often. Should I have spent $20 more for the retail. Oh well...lesson learned!

    5. @Wendy I didn't try that one on. Didn't like it in person. I did try the gray and camel. They didn't fit me...too boxy. Hoping to get the camel from retail.

  7. Look at all these unwanted codes. I hope J Crew is taking note -- the Factory is wack!

  8. I have issues getting Factory emails. So..no code for me! Oh well. The two things I wanted sold out last week while I was on vacation, so not too disappointed. My money went to the giant Lilly Pulitzer sale today.

  9. The only thing worth using these codes on are the excursion vests, because I don't see those going on promo anytime soon.

  10. Here's another code: FMCWJAB3C

    Post if you use it please:)

  11. I just received a box from Factory, and wanted to give a quick and dirty review for anyone using their codes.

    French Hen tee -- super cute, solid cotton, TTS (got my usual small)

    French Hen sweater (what can I say, I like the hen) -- Bright blue color is very pretty, sweater is itchy (although the retail one was too, to be fair).

    Charlie striped sweater dress - Love the colors. Not too short, but above knee, TTS. Loved it on, more than expected to. Bit itchy. Great for fall with boots.

    Ruffle-collar wool dress -- I got the dark green, and it's so pretty! I love it on, very flattering. Perfect for holidays. TTS.

  12. I would love a 30% off code if anyone has one. All of the above seemed to be already taken and I need to do some early Christmas shopping. elizabethsibsmith@gmail.com.

    1. I think those codes were good for August 19th only. Another promo just started; however. Teachers and students get 25% (instead of the usual 15%) August 20-25.
