In Madewell Stores & Online: 30% Off Sale

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

Madewell is offering customers to take an extra 30% off sale with promo code SWEET. The offer expires May 26, 2015. The fine print includes:

Offer valid on the purchase of sale items in Madewell stores and at madewell.com from May 22, 2015, 12:01am ET through May 26, 2015, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid on phone orders. 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. In-store discount automatically taken at the register. To redeem online, enter code SWEET in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

Make sure you double check the sale item page to see if the item is marked as "Final Sale" or not. Some sale items are and others are not. It is easy to overlook this and then get stuck with an item.

B&M stores were offering an additional 20% off sale, so it is nice to see it jump back to 30% off. They also have some items lower priced in stores than online. For example, the  Cutout Sundress in Stripe (item C0619; $148.00) is on sale online for $99.99 and in stores for $89.99. By the way, I own this dress and it is gorgeous! I know the cutouts on the sides are not for everyone, but if you were a white tank underneath, it actually looks like part of the dress' design.

Lastly, Madewell is also offering 60 days of Spotify Premium. This offer expires June 28, 2015.

Shop For the Weekend with Extra 50% Off Sale Styles at J.Crew!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion.

J.Crew is offering customers to take an extra 50% off on sale items in their brick & mortar (B&M) stores. The offer expires May 25, 2015. The fine print includes:

*Offer valid on the purchase of sale items in J.Crew stores from May 21, 2015, through May 25, 2015. Offer not valid in the 769 Madison Avenue store, Liquor Store, Ludlow Shops or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrew.com or jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders.

Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change. 

As many of you have noticed and mentioned this week, J.Crew stores already were offering this promotion. It is nice to know that it will continue through the weekend.

I was in my local B&M store the other day and the sale section was overflowing with merchandise. Unfortunately, it was not moving even at an additional 50% off. It was kind of sad. It's probably time to drop the starting sale prices some more...

I do hope this promotion extends to online as well. (I know it won't, but it really should.)

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion at J.Crew? What item are you hoping to pick up? Please share!

J.Crew Factory: 50% Off (and a mystery offer of up to $100 off)

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

If you live near a B&M store, they are also offering a mystery offer at the cash register. Customers can get an offer of $10, $20, $50 or $100 off an order.

I am not going to lie, I ended up buying too much with this offer. The prices seem pretty good (even without any additional percent off promotion). I picked up a few dresses (including the Factory Striped Basketweave Dress, item C4998, shown above), a few sandals, and even a coat. Let's hope they are just as lovely in person!

Save an Extra 40% to 50% Off J.Crew's Sale!

"Thanks!" to many of you, who let us know about the following promotion this morning.

J.Crew is offering customers to take an extra 40-50% off sale items with promo code GETSHOPPING. The offer expires May 13, 2015. The fine print includes:

*40% discount valid on the purchase of sale items in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com on May 13, 2015, 12:01am ET through 11:59pm ET. In-store discount as advertised. Online discount valid on sale items marked "Extra 40% off with code GETSHOPPING." Offer not valid in the 769 Madison Avenue store, Liquor Store, Ludlow Shops or J.Crew Factory stores; at jcrewfactory.com; or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with any other offer. In-store discount automatically taken at the register. To redeem online, enter code GETSHOPPING in the promo code box at checkout. Limit one promotional code per order. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change.

What is exciting about this is that there are over 150 new styles added to the sale section. Wahoo!

Most brick & mortar stores were already offering an additional 40%, if not 50% off sale. So I am hoping that offer sticks around...

In Store Coupon at J.Crew: $20 Off $100+

A big "thanks!" to JRSConifer & cate (in this post) who shared the following news with us: J.Crew is offering customers a card for $20 off purchases of $100+ in stores. This offer is available through July 4th.

J.Crew does not offer coupons very often, so I am pleasantly surprised about this. It doesn't hurt that it is a pretty nice offer too! I believe that it is stackable with other offers.

Make sure you double check your in-store purchase to see if you got a coupon too!

J.Crew's Student & Educator Discount {changing again?}

I like to start by stating that I am very thankful for the educator and student discounts at J.Crew. It is a great incentive to shop with our favorite retailer. 

I know the application (and explanation) of the student/ educator discount has varied over the years. The recent being that promotional items or universal promotions (for example, an additional 25% off everything) are not eligible, but specific promotions (for example, an additional 30% off sale) are eligible. Of course, full priced merchandise are eligible for the discount as well.

However, JCAs have been hearing and experiencing different situations at J.Crew. The following are a few examples of the feedback received when trying to use the discount:

"Thanks!" to Gretchen, who shared the following response from a J.Crew associate via email about J.Crew's student/ educator discount:

...Our student/teacher discount isn't usually applied to purchases that already have discounts or promotions applied. Because store exceptions are at the manager's discretion, additional savings are dependant on their approval. I apologize for this inconsistency, but we need to maintain a base level discount for our customers and are unable to freely apply as many discounts as possible, though eligible. Any additional savings received will be at the store managers discretion as individual stores have unique promotions and discounts week by week that we're unable to apply to online orders--this is also why the student/teacher discount is only eligible in-store. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.  Feel free to contact us with any future questions or concerns--we're always available by phone or email...

"Thanks!" to cagliari67 (in this post), who shared last Thursday the following:

...Have not been into a regular JC since the Discountgate episodes of 3 weeks ago. Still getting emails regarding this from JC central and from local managers. Policy still seems inconsistent. Apparently retail JCs here will no longer stack the educator discount with ANY other promo, including the extra % off sale. However the Factory stores are blithely carrying on, offering it on everything and promoting it verbally to everyone as they arrive. ...

"Thanks!" to math teacher (in this post), who shared last Thursday the following:

...My PS told me months ago that the teacher discount now only applied to full price items or items with a dollar amount discount. I appreciate that JC offers the discount, I just wish they would decide on a policy and stick with it. And that all b&m's would follow through. I emailed JC about some things (my PS has been asking me to email my complaints since they listen to us more than them) and I addressed this. I was told "As far as our student/teacher discount, this hasn’t changed - it’s still 15% off your entire order. If there’s another promotion going on like the current promotion TIMETOSHOP for 30% off full priced styles, we cannot combine the two. The only other time this discount cannot be applied is if it’s a branded partnership item or a wedding item." ...

It seems that J.Crew is changing the parameters of the student/ educator discount again.

If you have shopped recently (in the past week) at a J.Crew store, please let us know if you were able to apply your student/ educator discount.

Did you know about this change? What are your thoughts on this latest change? Will this have an impact on your future purchases?
