I was a huge Banana Republic shopper for the past 3 years, until I somehow lured by J Crew. I haven't opened a J Crew credit card because the benefits appear to be practically non-existent. As a BR Luxe customer, I am entitled to free shipping all the time, in addition to free alterations on both regular price & sale items, 5% rewards, etc...
J Crew claims to have special notifications and promos for their cardholders, but it seems that the information is going out to everyone in their email list. If they want to *really* know how to treat their cardholders, they might want to take a page from the BR playbook. I attended a BR event this past August or September and it was fantastic! It was open to all BR cardholders; not just Luxe holders. Fun was had by all. The champagne was flowing, there was a DJ and with a 30% off everything promo...of course I went over my budget. I talked about it for a good week and it definitely had an impact on my desire to keep my card even though I don't shop there as much as I used to. Not sure I will attend this event, but it's exciting to see they are keeping these types of promos.

I have the Luxe card as well, but I've never received free shipping. Is there a code for that or something else that I need to do?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, you have to use the code "LUXE" to get free shipping if you checkout with your Luxe card.
ReplyDeleteYep -- put in luxe and you will get free shipping. No minimum eq.
ReplyDeleteI have the regular BR card; I am right there w/ you Gigi ~ was lovin BR, then somehow entered into the JCrew zone, but now, am liking BR again. We'll see. If you go to the Luxe event, hope you will post some reviews!
ReplyDeletecaliglam - BR is looking better and better as they move through the rest of the year. The Collection was edited well and there are some strong pieces. The price points are good, too. They feel upscale, but not out of reach.
ReplyDeleteIt helps that many of the dresses (regular, not collection) are $64.99 or so and right now they're having an extra 25% appreciation if you use your BR regular or LUXE card. I think it applies to anything in the store.
