buying cartier at saks

[meluvbags]

hi guys! i know ive read before that members have purchased cartier watches at Saks and gotten a discount from SAs? can anyone tell me how much discount they got? Cuz I was wondering if it will be worth it for me to buy the watch at cartier, get the discount, and open a Saks card or if i should just get it from a jomashop or something that has the watch on discount.

Thanks!!

I've heard 10% discount for watches over $3000. With the EGC coming up, you could really save big.

I purchased my Tank Francaise at Saks during the EGC event. I applied for instant credit (a Saks store card account) and got 10% off, on top of a $450.00 gift card. The EGCs are more generous now, but Cartier watches have gone up in price since I did it last July. The end cost of the watch goes on to your new Saks account. I paid it off immediately, as any finance charges would negate the 10% pretty quickly.

As far as I know, this is the most cost effective way to purchase a brand new, fully warrantied (warrantied by Cartier itself) Cartier watch.

i cant think of any other way either. plus theres nothing like buying it straight from a boutique, or a distributor for the piece of mind.
