  2. Not a vent: love the WEDNESDAY promo as the Collection silk shirt in jungle print is included: $55.25 ! Love this print and I was waiting for a decent promo, so I ordered it.

    1. @fleur de lys - Thanks for pointing this out. I ordered it, too. I also had a code for an additional 10% off that was close to expiration, so I added that to bring the price just under $50. I noticed that the checkout still offered the option to add a promo code after I entered both codes. Can we use > 2 promos now? I didn’t have a 3rd code, so I wasn’t able to test it.

    1. I visited the store yesterday (Chicago); there was no percent off sale. The sign outside the door said select items 30% off.

  5. More than 3000 in sale section now and still no sale promo?? Don’t they want to get rid of it??

    1. I'm hoping Friday? Otherwise, I'm not buying.

      Delete
    2. My guess is they'll do a % off sale tomorrow. These daily sales have been confusing though...when I click on the promo it shows a random assortment of items but some not marked down.

      I did see that the 15% code that Dana posted yesterday is still stacking with the Thursday code.

      Delete
    3. I seem to recall Friday consistently being their big sale % off day when they do this promo-a-day thing. Fingers crossed! There's SO. MUCH. STUFF.

    4. Anne, I had problems with that, too. I tried on different browsers yesterday because I wasn't seeing much on sale with that promo.

  6. SA informed me that if you spend your rewards money on an item and return it, you do not get the rewards money back. I understand that you can't keep the points, but this seems really unfair. From the T&Cs:
    Upon the return of an item accepted by Company, the spend amount and Points applied to Member account for the original purchase will be deducted from that Member’s account as the Points are forfeited with the returned merchandise.

    1. How about points redeemed towards an item canceled by screw due to availability? Any one has such an experience?

      Delete
    2. That happened to me, and CS did apply to another order. But you never the the 'points' back, you have to call.

  7. I received an email today advertising "lower prices on my top picks" - none of the items in the email were items I've wishlisted let alone even looked at on the website...grrr...
