Nordstrom: Half-Yearly Sale

For any Nordstrom fans out there, they announced today [with their eye scorching e-mail] that the Half-Yearly Sale for women and children is going on now.  This sale is going on in-store and online, with savings of 33% or more.

Nordstrom cardholders can also get double points through Saturday, May 23.

What do you think?  Will you check out this sale?  Do you shop at Nordstrom?

Banana Republic FO: 25% off for Cardholders

Banana Republic Outlet is offering 25% off of purchases of $100 or more when you use your Gap family card.  This offer is good from May 21 to May 31.  You must present the coupon above (click the graphic and print) to take advantage of this offer.

In addition, BR Outlet is offering 40% off of the entire store from May 21 - May 25.  The coupon makes it seem like you can combine these two offers, so that is a very good deal.  I may be tempted to check it out.

What about you?  Will you use this coupon?  What do you think of the entire store's being 40% off?

Gap FO: 25% off for Cardholders

Gap Outlet is offering 25% off any purchase of $75 or more for Gap family cardholders.  This offer is good from May 21 through May 31.  You must present the coupon above to get the discount (click the graphic and print).

Gap Outlet is also offering "special edition" red, white, and blue logo tees for just $5, from May 21 through May 25.  This reminds me of Old Navy's $5 flag tees (and other holiday tees).

What do you think?  Will you check out this promotion?  Would you wear a red, white, and blue Gap tee?

Gap: Save 20 - 25% Percent

Gap is running a promotion right now where you can save 20% on your new purchase, and 25% if you use your Gap, Banana Republic, or Old Navy card.  The e-mail was promoting Gap's new arrivals, but luckily the coupon can be used on your entire purchase, including sale items.  Gap has some really cute new arrivals out, which I will post about soon!

You can also combine this promotion with other promotions - I was able to pick up a pair of new arrival shorts that were 25% off, plus another 25% off because I used my Gap card.  You can print out the e-mail to use the coupon in-store.  I unfortunately only have one online code, but if I don't end up using it, I will offer it up here.  This promotion is good until May 31, 2009.

Banana Republic: 25% off $100

As a follow-up to this post, here is another Banana Republic coupon to save 25% off of $100 purchase.  You can use the code BRSUMMER to use this promotion online, or print out the above coupon (click the graphic and print) to use this offer in-store.  This promotion is good from today until May 20.

Remember: this promotion is for Gap family cardholders.  You must use your Gap family card as payment.

Banana Republic: Additional Discount Codes

I received a mailer coupon from Banana Republic, so there is no picture for this one, but they are promoting their new summer arrivals by offering 25% off of any purchase of $100 or more, from May 12 - 20.  This promotion starts after the previous discount posted earlier.  Unfortunately, the coupon code for this offer can only be used once, so I am unable to share it right now.

In addition, Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic card members can save an extra 10% off every purchase when you use your card.  This promotion is good starting May 12, and lasts until July 31.  Use the code EXTRA10 at checkout if you are placing an online order.

Both of these promotions are good in-store and online.

What do you think?  Will you check out Banana Republic's new arrivals?  Will you take advantage of either of these offers?

Victoria's Secret: $10 Gift Set

Victoria's Secret is offering their Angel cardholders a sneak peek at their newest promotion, which is a $10 fragrance gift set, with any $35 beauty purchase.  The gift set includes 5 samples of popular VS fragrances, a refillable atomizer for spraying them, and a cute pink travel case.

This set is available online to cardholders from April 17 to April 20, and in-stores from April 17 to April 27.  There's no indication when it will be available to non-cardholders, or how strictly they will enforce this requirement.

What do you think of this promotion?  Would this free gift persuade you to pick up some VS beauty items?  What do you think of VS's cardholder promotions?

Banana Republic: 25% Off and Work Picks

Banana Republic is offering Gap family cardholders 25% off orders of $100 or more, now through April 26, 2009.  To take advantage of this promotion, enter the code SPRING25 online, or print out the picture above and bring it with you when you shop in-store.

BR is also promoting its women's work pieces, including The Black Suit, The Dress, and The Feminine Blouse.

What do you think of BR's work pieces?  Do you own any?  Will you take advantage of the 25% off promotion?

J.Crew: "Cardmembers" Sneak Peek

J.Crew is offering a sneak peek of upcoming May arrivals for "cardmembers" only.  I say cardmembers in quotes because I got this e-mail at two accounts: one that is associated with my J.Crew card, and one that is not (although more and more, I'm thinking maybe the second was at some point, and never updated).  Either way, there are 4 items featured in this promotion:

• Metallic-Leather Minaudiere (item #14666) for $98.  Described as: Vintage-inspired and so ladylike, in brilliant metallic leather with an Old-English brass-finish chain (just tuck it away to use as a clutch). Metal-frame closure with glass jewel top. Interior back-wall patch pocket. Cotton sateen lining. Import. 7 1/2" handle drop. 3 3/4"H x 7 5/8"W, opens to 2 3/4"D.
  
  
• Pearl-Cluster Necklace (item #14503) for $125.  This doesn't seem to be new.
  
  
• Ribboned-Pearl Necklace (item #17763) for $55.  Unsure if this is new.  Described as: Our designer interlaced rayon grosgrain ribbon throughout this necklace—a lovely complement to its 14K gold-plated hand-assembled brass chain and lustrous glass pearls. 24" of beading and 18" of ribbon on each side. Ribbon-tie closure. Import. Full necklace length: 60". Catalog/jcrew.com only.
  
  
• Lyla Printed Peep Toes (item #15447) for $250 (!).  These look new, and sem to be available only online and at the Madison Ave. store in NYC.  Described as: Our newest love—Lyla, in the season's prettiet prints, topped with a straw bow. Silk (sweet papaya), cotton (papaya) or linen (navy) upper. Man-made lining and sole. 3 1/2" self-covered heel. Made in Italy. Available at the Madison Avenue Collection Store.

So what do you think?  Do you like any of these new items?  I love the shoes, but not for $250.  I have a necklace somewhat similar to the ribboned-pearl necklace, but I like mine a lot better.  I'm always on the fence about the pearl cluster necklace, and I'm not really into the cluch.

Do you plan on ordering any of these now?  Will you wait until the rollout next Friday, April 24?  What types of things are you hoping to see in that rollout?

Gap: Cardholder Style Event & Free Shipping Reminder

Gap is holding a special Style Event for Gap cardholders.  For 4 days, from April 16 to April 19, cardholders can save 30% off regularly priced items, and 15% off of sale items.  This promotion is good in-store and online.  You should have received an online code in the e-mail or in the regular mail (I received both), and I think you need to bring either the e-mail or mailer card to the store with you.

What do you think?  Are you a Gap cardholder?  Did you get this promotion?  Did you get it without being a cardholder?

Old Navy: Stuff & Save is Here + Free Shipping

Old Navy is running the Stuff & Save promotion again!  When you use your Old Navy, Gap, or Banana Republic card as payment, you can save 20% on any Old Navy purchase.  This offer is good in-store and online.

For online orders, use the code STUFF5O when you checkout, and the discount is automatically applied to your Old Navy merchandise.  For in-store purchases, I believe you have to have the Stuff & Save card.  (I'm saying this based on the fact that there was a card included in the mailer for this promotion.) 

Victoria's Secret: Free Parfums Intimes for VIP Cardholders

Victoria's Secret announced their first VIP cardholder perk - a free beauty gift of a deluxe sample set (worth $15) of VS's new fragances, Parfums Intimes.  If you show your VS VIP card in-store from April 9 until April 21, you can take home this free sample.  No purchase is required!

Victoria's Secret: VIP Angel Cards

Victoria's Secret has revamped their credit card program by offering more benefits for their Angel VIPs.

• Angels First - early access to sales, special offers, and new items
• Double points on all bra purchases
• Angel VIP exclusive beauty events
• Angel VIP customer service number (1-866-VIP-CARD)

I have been an Angel VIP cardholder for quite some time, but I do not remember the requirements for being moved up to the VIP card. I am looking forward to these new benefits though, especially the double points!

What about you? Do you have a VS Angel card? Do you plan on getting one?
