AmEx Gives $50 If You Shop {at J.Crew NYC}

"Thanks!" to many of you, including JC (in this post) & TweedyBird, who shared the following promotion.

American Express is giving its customers a $50 statement credit when they use any registered American Express® Card to make a total of $300 in purchases at three or more NYC Extreme Local Store participants from now until 12/20/09. One of their participants is J.Crew! (Click here for more information on this offer.)

"Thanks!" to TweedyBird who also let us know that the J.Crew Store on Prince Street is hosting a shopping event 12/11/09, from 7-9PM for American Express cardholders. There may be something extra for customers who purchase over $150+. {wahoo!}

Happy shopping to all those in the area! :)

  3. I signed up for the promo a few days ago, but I doubt I'll meet the $300 minimum. I need *nothing* from JCrew and it's unlikely I'll eat $300 in restaurant food before I go out of town on the 16th. Maybe Century 21...

  4. Kathy I saw that promo too, I haven't seen an email yet but 25% is interesting. Are the sweaters still on sale? Can you get 25% off of the sale price on the sweaters?

  5. Definitely. I know they must be doing something right for their profits to be high, but it's weird that they would wait until now to do a good promo.

  6. Totally OT, but new online promo: code GIFT gets you 25% off $150+

    I was one of the lucky free shipping ones, so I will be doing a major re-order and probably some new goodies too :)

  7. Umm, totally didn't see kathymtaing's comment and subsequent discussion. Sorry! And she has the correct code: GIFTS plural

  8. Woohoo! Sweaters are still on sale AND there's a 25% off! I just nabbed the cashmere v-neck henley for $106 (w/free shipping). Oh, and I may be carrying the "free gift boxes" a little too far -- it doesn't seem to matter what you're buying you can request as many boxes as you want. But at least I'll have plenty of appropriately-shaped boxes for when I do the big sale (to get rid of the "final sale mistakes" on eBay). YAY DISCOUNTS!

  9. Woo hoo - ordered some "promo" sweaters with the 25% off.

  10. I'm with Rats on Parade & mommydearest. I did a re-order of the things I just bought at 5pm today(!). The sweater promo was still in effect as of 11:45pm PST, so it was worth it. Of course I offset that savings by adding a couple other things. Ah well.

  11. Oh -- and there was a restock of the merino ethereal ruffle cardigan (25327). Misty aqua and wild plum are my faves.

  12. Also restock of Maya, although S seems to be gone again, and restock of black Toris. Totally wasn't going down the pilly Dream road for $98, but for $58.82 I'm so there!

    Sweater promo supposedly ended at 12 am EST, but 20% off is still showing up. Go figure.

    VERY helpful CS lady on the phone cancelled my re-order and applied 25% to my original order. She also confirmed that GIFTS will end Sunday night. So glad I coudln't sleep tonight!

    Wow, Gigi, there are a ton of colors on the ethreal cardi! Wild plum is lovely. Hmmm, should I grab one?

  13. Oh, and YES, Heidi, I definitely think it would have gone over better MONDAY. You know, what with CYBER MONDAY and all. Then again, I keep seeing articles about retailers approaching this year as cyber week, as opposed to one day.

  14. The code is on the J.Crew website. They'll probably send an email tomorrow. Here is the fine print about the GIFTS promo:

    *Offer does not apply to previous purchases, alterations or the purchase of gift cards. DOES NOT INCLUDE J.CREW RETAIL AND FACTORY STORES. Offer not applicable on branded products. Offer valid through Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid on telephone orders. 25% discount applies to online orders of $150 or more before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Discount taken at checkout with promo code GIFTS. This offer cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion.

  15. green_dino - I saw that fine print & didn't want to bother trying to ask for an adjustment. It works out for them anyway because I ended up spending more than my original order. Doh!

    I'm wondering what you East Coast gladies will wake up to as far as website content & prices. The ethereal ruffle cardi is now split in colors as far as sale. Some are regular price, $88 and "select colros" are $69.99. At least there is no FS right now.

    Good nite :-)

  16. woke up at 4am PST out of the blue. exercising major restraint. i hate paying for shipping, it basically negates the 25%, and there's nothing in the new arrivals that I need to have either. Things I almost ordered: Lexi clutch in shadow is $139.99, crazy bead crewcuts necklaces $7.99 select colors.
