Off on a tangent: Banana Republic Offers Students & Teachers a Discount {15% off}

Don't worry, I am still all about the Crew! But sometimes there are codes/ offers from other retailers that might be useful for some J.Crew Aficionadas & Aficionados, like now...
"Thanks!" to Lauren PhD & Rosie who shared the following email from Banana Republic.

BR is now offering 15% off any purchase for students & teachers. What is fantastic about this discount is that it can be used for both sale & full priced items.

Although there are some restrictions worth pointing out: (1) This discount is only valid in-stores. (2) Also, the offer expires at the end of this year, 12/31/2010.

Happy shopping! :)

  3. I'm neither nor but that's cool! Perhaps it will be extended after this year's test run.

  4. Does this apply to high school students? Because I know J.Crew's is only toward college students...

  5. I don't think its fair and no offense towards students and teachers, but they seem like the only ones who get discounts. I didn't get discounts when I was a college student and the only way to obtain a discount was to work for the actual retail store, which I did.

    But, then again I am a BR Luxe for Life cardholder and get tons of discounts..I haven't enjoyed their clothes since 2007.

  6. This is wonderful. I love BR and have seriously appreciated all the promotions they've been having... while overall I prefer J Crew's styles, BR/Gap has been owning them in terms of sales/promos. Just sayin' (hint hint, J Crew...).

  8. I think this is a great promotion. I will definitely be making a trip to the B&M this weekend. JC's promos are really stingy. The FS+30% was nice but the inventory was so low! I'm sure it'll be months before another decent promo, which is probably good for my wallet but not good for my closet. :)

    I think JC has really hurt itself with the poor quality cashmere this year since that definitely kept me from purchasing cashmere items even with the additional 30% off. I've heard too many complaints about the poor quality so that definitely kept me from purchasing something I otherwise would have jumped at.

  9. Love it! BR has really been spoiling me with all of its discounts in the last year, I'm hoping it doesn't end anytime soon.

  10. I went to BR tonight. This weekend it is 25% off then goes down to the 15%.

    Well, as a college student I rather enjoy the student discount. It may not be fair but I work 40+ hours a week and only get paid for 20 so, I guess life isn't fair...

  11. I know this is totally off topic, but I really need some help. Can anyone comment on the fit of the ultra knit pull-over hoodie. Does it run TTS or should I size up? I am normally an x-small in j crew tops but sometimes wear a small in cardigans. TIA!

  12. Banana Republic is having a 25% online sale this weekend only! I bought one of their trench coats for only $160.00 after tax and shipping saving $50.00 from the regular price. BRSUPER25 is the code.

    I think I am going to wait until April to purchase anything from J.Crew. I am waiting to see what their spring offerings will be before drinking the Crewlade again.

  13. I'm taking a BR/Gap/ON break for a while. Their return policy and customer service are horrible. When you check out online, you're told the time limit for returns is 45 days; the last two times I've gone to the store to return something, my returns have been refused because the SA's insist the policy is 30 days. If you're outside the time limit, you're stuck with the item - no exchanges, no store credit, nothing. Ridiculous!

    OT, I'm really loving the new arrivals at Lands End Canvas. I've got a ton in my shopping cart - just waiting for a % off code to pull the trigger!

  14. I bought everything I wanted using the 40% off coupons they gave out a few weeks ago. I really like their new whisper tees. I bought the long sleeve v-neck version in every color.

  15. Just to let you know...Madewell and J.Crew both offer this discount. 15% off all full priced merchandise. Show your ID in store. Email from your student account if you order online and they will refund your 15% after payment.
