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

Back in August (refer to the August 16th "J.Crew's Latest Catalog {double check it!}" post), many JCAs reported finding something extra in the catalog J.Crew mailed them. J.Crew offered one-time promotion codes ranging from free shipping codes with no minimums, to 10% to 20% off any order with no minimums, and the like.

Well, it looks like J.Crew is doing something similar again! :)

"Thanks!" to LinLos (in this post) who shared the following: "There's a $25 off $125 B&M coupon in my October catalog!"

I did receive the new October catalog the other day. Once again, there was no offer or anything extra attached. In all fairness, I am just happy to still be on the catalog mailing list! ;)

I am really happy for those JCAs who received something extra in their copy of the catalog.

So if you get the latest J.Crew catalog in the next week or two, double check inside to see if there's a special offer.

Congrats to all those with an offer! :)

  1. I received mine yesterday and did not receive any coupon. I remember ages ago when JC used to send those coupons...

  2. I did not get any coupon, however I did receive a 15% from LE.

    O/T The Cadet Funnelneck Cardigan that was sold out in every size but Large is back this am after the sale. BOO J Crew.

  3. I didn't even get the October catalog in the mail yet. If my PS hadn't given me one right before the roll out, I still wouldn't have one. But when it does arrive, maybe it will have a coupon??? But I won't hold my breath!

  4. No coupon... the only time I ever got one was when I hadn't bought anything in a really long time. I guess only stocking up on 20% off sale items doesn't make me a top customer!

  5. I just received my September catalog last week (I'm in Canada... but still!) and there was a coupon inside that had expired WEEKS ago :(

  6. I'll just be happy if I GET a catalog.

    I'm really crossing my fingers that they do another red card promo this fall/winter!

  7. One of the J.Crew customer service reps has been hand mailing me the catalogs for the last 2 months. Which is so very nice of her I have no words. I guess once you're off the list you can't get back on now? No coupon in mine.

  8. nothing in mine (and i shop with jc all the time - guess they figure they don't need to offer me any incentives :(

  9. I signed myself up for catalogs again, under a variation of my name in case that helps. Hopefully they will get to me and even more hope they give me a promo!

  10. I got one for 20% in the front flap of my catalog. I haven't order in a long time so maybe that's why!

  11. My catalog DID have a coupon... for 10% off any order, PLUS free shipping on that order. I also got a coupon the last time they were sticking them in catalogs, for 20% off any order - no free shipping though - and I have NO clue why I would have gotten coupons both times. I'm not even a cardholder!

    Anyways, my catalog did have a little black circle in the top right corner, reading "It's on us... see details inside" so people might want to check for that on the cover of their catalogs...

  12. Just moved and requested a catalog online - I got the condensed version of the Sept catalog with a free shipping coupon that had already expired. Yesterday I received (again - condensed) the October catalog with free shipping over $150. JCrew just keeps treating their customers SO well.

  13. I'm one of the lucky few who received the $25 off $125 coupon (valid in store only). As I said before I have no clue of how they choose to send these offers because I'm on a "double" mailing list and I typically receive two catalogs, one with the offers (when there is one) and one without (this time I have received only the one with the coupon though). Of course I received it yesterday just after coming back from Jcrew and spending more than $125. Grrrr....

  14. my MOM gets a catalog who NEVER buys J.Crew. I shop there at least once a week and I NEVER get one. What's up with that?!?

  15. Despite spending a fair amount of money at Jcrew, I rarely receive the catalog. My boyfriend, who has only bought 2 shirts from the Jcrew B&M in the past 2.5 years, usually gets the catalog. On the plus side, at least he is sweet enough to save them for me rather than just chucking them in the trash!

  16. Yep. My husband gets a catalog too. So frustrating.

  17. I used to get the catalog always, sometimes two but I have not received the last couple. I signed up again a week or so ago so I'm just hoping I do get an October catalog!

    Its especially frustrating b/c I don't live near a b&m so I rely on the internet and catalog for my fix :)

  18. I received mine yesterday and no coupon. Does anyone have any input as to the quality of J. Crew's flat equestrian style boots. Ralph Lauren's Starla equestrian boot looks beautiful and is almost 1/2 the price of J. Crew's! Can anyone vouch that J. Crew's boots are of better quality and style than Ralph Lauren's?

  19. No, got mine yesterady and no offer (like usual). YAH for those that did get one!

    Casual-crew: that is so infuriating. UGH!

  20. After not receiving a catalog in what seemed like ages, in mid-August I called the cardmember customer service and asked to be sent a catalog and was told it would arrive in 1-2 weeks. About a month and no catalog later, I requested one via the website. That was about 10 days to two weeks ago. Additionally I've received two orders, both without catalogs. (In fairness, it's been a couple of years since I've received a catalog with an order, but still.) I (and it would seem more than a few of you guys) am practically begging J.Crew to spend my money there and they still can't see through to send what amounts to advertising for them. Frustrating.

  22. despite requesting to be put back on the mailing list, i've somehow stopped receiving catalogs. : (

    ReplyDelete
  23. My husband gets the J.Crew catalog as well and yet I'm the one who buys at J.Crew at least every month. He always saves them for me :).

  24. no coupons ever. i remember when they would have $20 off $80 purchases... was that back when katie holmes was in the catalog??
    my mom gets the catalog too and i should ask if she gets those coupon codes...
    i stopped getting the catalog intentionally and then when i made an online purchase they started sending them to me again.
    is there any consistent pattern to who gets the coupon offers?`

  25. My sister used to work and JCrew and she told me that most people do not order from the catalog, it has become more of a look book. A majority of orders come from the web now. It's really costly to make and send each catalog so I assume that is why they don't send them as often.

  26. to clarify it was the cast of Dawson's Creek that made it into the catalog.

  27. There are definitely at least two versions of the catalogue out there. I had two arrive at my house: one for me, one for the roommate. Her's had the coupon mine did not. The front cover of hers had a little note at top that said, "check page 23 for a special offer." Wonder why she won and I didn't? I'm a more frequent shopper than her recently. Perhaps trying to get her in the store.

  28. I got the Oct catalog two days ago and I had a coupon in the front for free shipping on my next purchase of any amount! It expires Oct 4th. I'm excited!
