J.Crew Final Sale Online: Extra 20% Off

"Thanks!" to Jackie & Lindsey B. (in the post "J.Crew November Catalog"), as well as Anonymous at 12:59 AM (in the post "What One J.Crew Item Do You Think Is An Investment", who let us know that J.Crew is offering an extra 20% off final sale items online with promo code EXTRA20. This offer expires 10/18/08.

NOTE: "Thanks!" to a J.Crew employee who shared with us that the EXTRA25 code does NOT exist. However, the EXTRA20 does work. :)

This code comes at a great time considering new arrivals are expected to be available online this week. Although, the email indicates that the 20% off is also at stores. As mentioned in an earlier post (click here), stores recently increased the additional percent off to 30%... so does that mean stores changed the additional percent off again?

Are there any items you are planning to purchase with this code? Or are you planning to wait a bit longer before purchasing any more items? :) Is your store carrying an additional 20% or 30% off final sale merchandise?

J.Crew Potential Promos & Sales Coming Soon :)

For those who were wondering about the next coupon and additional percent off sale...

"Thanks!" to an anonymous member of the blog who let us know that a J.Crew associate told her to "lookout" in her email account for a new coupon, which is "rumored to involve $25 off $125". :)

"Thanks!" to another anonymous member of the blog who let us know that there will most likely be an additional 20% off sale starting this Friday through next Monday.

Mini-Update: The anonymous member let us know that it is "another Private Sale of 20% off your entire purchase of $175 or more" that will start this Friday. Although there is a (high) minimum, the positive is that the promotion would not be limited to "final sale" items.

Mini-Update2: "Thanks!" to Melissa who let us know that the code for 20% off $175+ (valid between this Friday through Monday) is PRIVATESALEOCT.

Are you currently holding off from any J.Crew purchases online until a new promotion or sale is occurring? If so, what items are you currently considering to purchase. :)

J.Crew's Final Sale.... Here to Stay?

We have all been wondering if J.Crew's sale will permanently remain "final" or will expire eventually. An associate at J.Crew (Anonymous at 4:02PM in the post "Love It Or Leave It: Timex Watch For J.Crew") was kind enough to share with us the following:

"I'm an associate, and I have been told that the final sale policy is more or less going to be a permanent thing. I believe (and sincerely hope) that it will be suspended for holiday, as obviously gifts + final sale doesn't work very well. I can't speak for the website, but I would imagine that after holiday, both the stores and website will keep this policy for awhile, if not permanently. Disclaimer: this is what I have been told my management, but I (and they) could always be wrong. And before you ask, I'm not sure why they do it. It is an annoyance to us also because people get upset at us all day when we break the news to them. Just know that most of us aren't fans, either."

First, "thanks!" again to the associate- I always appreciate hearing from J.Crew associates and find their insights valuable (and I am grateful whenever they post). :) Second, I am a bit bummed to see the "final sale" will be sticking around. Although, I have to admit that I am use to seeing final sale at this point so I am not as deterred from shopping as I once was. ;)

What are your thoughts about the "final sale" remaining? Do you think that J.Crew should lift the "final sale" for the holiday season? Has the "final sale" deterred your shopping of sale items at J.Crew?

J.Crew Stores: Additional 20% 0r 40% Off Sale?

Many of you have mentioned receiving J.Crew's latest email announcing the additional 20% off online (with promo code EXTRA20) and in-stores. However, as mentioned in Wednesday's post ("J.Crew Stores: 40-50% Off Final Sale {yey!}"), the additional percent off in most stores is 40%. Many of you have raised an excellent question about which "additional percent off" stores are offering this weekend. Unfortunately, I am not sure if all (or some) stores will reduce the additional percent from 40% to 20% off this weekend.

P.S. I just got this email today. I realize emails are sent in batches, but its too bad J.Crew can't send out time sensitive emails a bit earlier (or send them all on the day the promotion begins).

Which additional percent off (20% or 40%) do you think stores will offer? Is your local J.Crew offering the additional 20% or 40% final sale? Did you receive this email yet? :)

J.Crew Final Sale Online: 20% Off {yey!}

"Thanks!" to Lesley, Danielle, Smagsy, Magnolia (in this post), Cass (in this post), Heather:D (in this post), as well as Blumre and Shannon (in this post), who let us know that J.Crew is offering 20% off their final sale items online with promo code EXTRA20. This offer expires 9/28/08.

I guess the "final sale" and needing to use a code for the "additional percent off" is now a permanent feature at JCrew.com. Oh well! ;)

Are there any items you are planning to get now with the additional 20% off? Will you use this code or a free shipping code instead? Will you go to a brick and mortar (B&M) store instead (since they're offering 40% off their final sale?) :)

J.Crew Stores: 40-50% Off Final Sale {yey!}

Mary (in the "J.Crew Aficionadas: Please Re-Read :)" post) let us know that her local store (in Rockaway, NJ) is offering an additional 50% off final sale items. Gigiofca (in the same post) also mentioned that her local store (in Pleasanton, CA) is also having an additional 40% off final sale items. I also called one of my local J.Crew's (in New Haven, CT) and they are offering an additional 40% (not 50%, but still a great percent!) off final sale items. The store associate also told me that the additional 40% percent off started today (but it could be just for that store). :)

So chances are that your local J.Crew store is offering an additional percent off final sale items ranging from 40-50% off (which is awesome!) :)

Is your local store offering an additional 40-50% off final sale items? If so, please let us know. Are you planning to visit your local store this week to see if they are offering a higher additional percent off on final sale? :)

J.Crew Website Updated {yey!}

J.Crew's website is updated with new arrivals for men and women. Also, as Leslie pointed out (in the "J.Crew October Catalog: Have You Seen It Yet? :)" post) the October catalog (in its entirety) is now available online (click here).
Also, the final sale got updated with a lot more items (including past seasons). As Eddie & Stretch's Momma pointed out (in the post "J.Crew Website Updated!"), the {beautiful} Bella Jacket (click here) is also available on sale! :)

What are your thoughts on Jenna Lyon's picks (click here)? {Why is that bug pin doing there?!?} What do you think of the new arrivals? :)

J.Crew's Secret Sale In Stores {Shssh!}

A big "thank you!" goes to Anonymous at 1:17 PM (in the "J.Crew Stores: Grand Opening List!" post) who let us know that her local J.Crew (in Cambridge MA) is having a "secret sale" on solid-color cashmere sweaters (women only) for $99. Chances are that your local J.Crew is having a similar secret sale (for a limited time) too. :)

For those of you who have not heard of a secret sale at J.Crew, you are not alone! ;) I actually did not know about them either, until this blog's wonderful members shared that knowledge with me.

J.Crew's "secret sales" (and Aficionadas, please correct me if I am wrong or forgot to add something) essentially will have in-season items on sale without the sale being advertised (e.g. no email, no sign at the store). Also, the stores' associate determine which customers they share the "private sale" information with.

Are there any other J.Crew items that are currently on "secret sale"? :) Have you made purchases with items that were on "secret sale"? What do you think of J.Crew's secret sales in general?

J.Crew Stores: Additional 25% Off Final Sale

"Thanks!" to Anonymous at 12:18 PM & 3:35 PM, Rachel, and ML (in the "J.Crew Stores: Grand Opening List!" post) who let us know that J.Crew stores are having an additional 25% off final sale (as oppose to 20% off).

I called a few stores to ask them how long the final sale with 25% off would last and all the associates had the same response: (1) that they didn't know, and (2) the additional percent off could vary day to day. This seems a bit odd (that it can vary day to day) but I didn't want to push the subject too much. :)

Happy Shopping Aficionadas (and Aficionados!) ;)

Update: J.Crew sent an email today announcing this very sale. This additional percent off sale ends this Sunday.

Do you think you will take advantage of the additional 25% off final sale? What do you make of the varying additional percent off final sale? Do you think we will see a greater amount discounted on the final sale soon (like 40% or even 50%)?

P.S. I am currently in the process of moving (again- I know!) But this should be the last time. :) I apologize in advance for any delay in response. But by the beginning of next week, I should be back to posting & replying with normal response times. :)

Final Sale (Extra 20% Off Now): When Will It End?

Venice4504 suggested a great topic which is J.Crew's final sale and how long it has been going on. I agree with her that this final sale seems to be dragging on. I looked back in the posts of this blog and this latest final sale started on June 18th (refer to "Oh no, Final Sale is back!" post). Although the final sale has been going on for a few months, it does seem like a really long time to me. To be honest, I don't remember J.Crew's final sales lasting this long- just a couple of weeks (...or maybe I really never paid attention to them before). ;)

I don't like "final sales" in general. :) Even though I rarely (and I do mean rarely) return items I buy from J.Crew, I like knowing I have the option in case I need to. And most times, J.Crew will let you return a final sale item if you need to (thus semi-defeating the concept of the "final sale"). However, I do understand why J.Crew (and other retailers) would run sales that are "final" (seeing as how they are trying to liquidate end-of-the-season inventory).

Also "thanks!" to everyone (like mom-nyc [in the "J.Crew Plays Favorites: Are You One?" post], Maggie May & Blumre [in this post]) who let us know that J.Crew is now offering an additional 20% off their final sale using the promo code EXTRA20. This offer expires 9/7/08.

Twiga also let us know (in the "Love It Or Leave It: Jersey-Knit Pant" post) that she heard in her local J.Crew store yesterday that the additional 40% off final sale items will be reduced to an additional 20% today. I called one of my local J.Crew's today and they are indeed running the 20% off final sale. So chances are your local store will be carrying the 20% off final sale as well.

What are your thoughts on J.Crew's final sale? Do you feel comfortable purchasing items that are part of their "final sale"? Do you think the "final sale" is now permanent? If you do not think it is permanent, when do you think the "final sale" will be over?

J.Crew's Chino Sale: Save $10

A big "thanks!" to Namtaro, who let us know about J.Crew's latest email promotion offering customers $10 off on select men's and women's chinos at J.Crew's regular stores and online. The links on the email are as follows: Men's | Women's

I am really grateful to Namtaro and all the members of this blog that have shared their J.Crew emails & promotions. :) Although I have two email accounts with J.Crew (personal & school), I apparently do not get all the emails (even though I would like to!)- so I really appreciate it when we all share. ;)

Do you think you will take advantage of this latest promotion? Are you like me, a bit bummed out that you didn't get this email?

Extra 30% Off Final Sale: Is it Back?

As many of you have pointed out (like JCrewBug in the "Love It or Leave It: Piqué Andrea jacket" post), J.Crew is offering 30% off their final sale with promotion code EXTRA30. There is no mention when this offer expires on their website, which makes me wonder if this "additional percent off sale" is a "mistake" like last time or a promotion being 100% offered.

UPDATE: "Thanks!" to hdayton who sent me the email (shown below) which shows that this promotion expires 8/18/08.
Also, "thanks!" to Priya in this post who let us know about the expiration date of this promotion as well. :)

Are you finding the 30% off being discounted with no issues? How do you feel about the additional 30% off final sale now being a separate code (whereas before it was a "given" discount automatically applied, thus allowing another coupon code like free shipping to be used)? Did you receive the email about the 30% off final sale (unfortunately, I did not)?

P.S. I just arrived home from my conference (and completely jet-lagged too! ;) ) For those who asked, my presentation went well. I am also really thankful for all the well-wishes and understanding I received while I was away! :)

J.Crew Email: Final Sale Updated

"Thanks!" to JCrewBug & MustHaveJCrew (in the "What's Your Favorite J.Crew Item of the Summer?" post) and Namtaro who let us know that J.Crew sent an email about adding new styles to their final sale. I am not sure if I saw that many "new" items to warrant this email, but perhaps I didn't spend enough time looking around the site. (For example, they may have more sizes available as oppose to more items, which was the criteria I was looking at originally.)

Are you excited about the final sale having "new styles"? Did you notice a difference in the selection of the "sale" section? Do you think the sales on the website are going to be "final sales" from now on? (Remember when "final sales" were temporary? It feels like this "final sale" has been going on forever now...)

J.Crew Secret Sale on Wool Fiona Jacket

Thanks to Gigiofca who let us know in the "J.Crew Stores: 40% Off & New Markdowns" post, that there may be a "secret sale" on the new wool Fiona in stores. The sale price may be $158 from the regular $198. As gigiofca pointed out, there are three fabulous colors to choose from: orange sherbert, grey, & pink rhubarb.

Gigiofca was lucky enough to purchase the Orange sherbet (which is my personal favorite color of the three)! :)

Are you planning to get the new wool Fiona Jacket now that it may be on sale? Do you own the new wool Fiona jacket? If so, what do you think of the jacket? ("Thanks!" in advance for the review! We really appreciate it!)
