J.Crew's May Catalog {double check it!}

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Stephanie, as well as Allison & Desert Flower (in this post), who let us know that the latest catalog sent may have a unique promotional code (for something like 20% off on any order, free shipping with no minimum, or $20 off a certain amount).

So check your catalog to see if you got a unique promo code too! :)

  1. Those of you who received the codes, where did you find them? On the front cover?

  3. Ooh, I haven't received the new catalog yet. Last catalog I got, the code inside had expired a month beforehand.

    Not sure where to post, so quick question - does anyone know how small the girls' headbands are? I'm in the market for some new headbands, but the only ones catching my eyes are the girls'!

  4. I have been receiving these catalogs with the codes inside that have expired for the last 3 months and in April I received 5 catalogs, 3 of them had codes I could not use and J Crew will not honor them because their system will not accept expired codes.

    If this keeps up I will tell J Crew to stop sending me catalogs.

  5. I would be happy just to get a catalog. I have been having to call or email and have one sent to me as for some reason they just stopped sending them!

  6. A: There was a mention of the code on the front cover ("Check inside!") and the offer was on a notecard-sized insert, stapled just inside the front cover.

  7. I received one and it doesn't expire until well into May. I'm hoping I can use both this code and my rewards card on the May rollout.

  8. I just received my catalog this week- no coupon.

    I was laughing because I don't know when in the last couple of years they stopped putting "mail order forms" in the center of the catalog. A sign of the technology times. Saves paper!

  9. I doubt that this would be the case :) but if anyone is willing to part with their 20% off coupon, I would be forever grateful. Im more then willing to discuss if I have anything of value for a trade :)
    I never get the darn coupons and there are quite a few things I am currently interested in.

    you can email me at megdubs at yahoo

  10. I haven't received the previous catalog so I'm not sure if I'm getting this one. {crossing fingers for a coupon}

    I did receive my rewards card yesterday. :-)

    @ Lauren: I bought several headbands for my girl from crewcuts but though they fit me it's snug for me to be wearing it around (and I think I have an average size head). They are darn cute though. If you don't mind returning them maybe you could try out few of them? Hope this helps.

  11. Just out of curiosity, why do only some people get the coupons??

  12. Oh Jenni, now there is a question for the ages. We have spilled a lot of virtual ink on this blog trying to figure out J.Crew's marketing strategy and why some of us are included and some are excluded. Although those with a background in business and marketing have assured us that JC does indeed have a plan, it is not always apparent to the average JCA (especially those of us with liberal arts backgrounds, lol).

    Enjoy it if you received it! I certainly didn't. But lately I think I'm lucky just to receive a catalog at all.

  13. BOOOOOOOOOO I never get a catalog with a code! BLARGH! :-/

  14. I got the new catalog on Monday.
    There was “20% off any order but hurry …offer is good until May 9th” coupon inserted in the middle…

    I have never received any JC coupons before… I only bought a couple items in JCrew for past 60 days.
    I wonder if this is the reason I received this coupon.

  15. Heidi: It is just the luck of the draw who gets the coupon, when I received the 5 catalogs every 2nd of third one had a coupon. I spent alot at the beginning of this year and I still received them.

  16. Got the catalog but no coupon. I guess, like others mentioned, that I spend enough $$$ thus I am not worthy of being enticed to purchase more. Sad, I could have used it. Also, when are the rewards cards being mailed? I am still waiting for mine, but yesterday I stopped by the JCrew store in Fashion Valley (San Diego) and the Sales Associate asked me if I had mine with me..
    OT, after JCrew I stopped by BR, and snagged a cashmere cardi, silk top and shorts for under $150 with a 25% off plus an extra 20% off to cardholders. *hint, hint, JCrew* ,,,

  17. I finally got a coupon for 20% off, it expires on May 9th. I wish J.crew would give something to their loyal customers like BR and AT does.

  18. Heidi and Gata, I received it and I spend a lot, and most is trackable since I use a J. Crew card. It is the first time I've ever received a code. My good friend who has literally never ordered an item but put herself on the catalogue mailing list has received 3 or 4. My cousin, who spends about as much as I do, has received 3 in the last 6 months. Some of us are card holders, some aren't. I long ago gave up trying to figure out the method to the madness.

  19. Now that I have been reading all your comments about the coupons I'm going to sign up my husband for catalogs since he does not buy anything from JCrew so hopefully he will be receiving the next coupons soon and I'll be the one using them.

  20. I'm with Laura. I'll sign up my husband and cat.

  21. I buy 99% of my clothes from J.Crew. I spend a lot! I received a 20% coupon on my catalog. 99% of my purchases go through my PS. I RARELY return anything and pay full price for 80% of my purchases. I have received all of the gifts from J. Crew and purchase everything on my J. Crew card. Also, I give them my email every single time they ask for it because that is another way they track your purchases.
    J. Crew's customer incentives seem very random to me, after what I read on this blog.

  22. I received a promo code in my catalog for 20% off my entire catalog/online order. I used it and saved almost $100 on my three-item order. Unfortunately, despite my large bill, I still had to pay shipping. If I didn't have that coupon, I never would have made that purchase, so their plan worked on me.

  23. oh, and I should add that I rarely purchase anything at J.Crew, period. The only things I have ordered online have been bridesmaid dresses. I guess I got lucky.
