Brainstorm on ways to get the largest % off chanel

hey, i like that 100% off idea! 
the best i've come to a discount on chanels is when i bought my outdoor large doctor bag last fall. it was at bloomingdales during their friends & family event. during that event, they usually take 20% off most items, but of course chanel was excluded from the % off deal. instead, they gave out a $50 gift card for each $250 chanel purchase. that's 20%, but not in discounts, just in gift card amount that you can use later. so i ended up getting $400 worth of GCs and it was pretty much like a cash discount to me because i shop bloomingdales a lot anyway.
i was also surprised to realize that they didn't charge me tax on my bag, either. there are bloomingdale stores in my state, so i'm not sure if it was just a mistake or if they decided to waive the tax because my local stores don't carry chanel...

I agree about trying to negotiate the price - the actual boutique won't, but for other higher end watches like Cartier, etc... they routinely will offer a price less than the sticker price if you're really interested.
Gift card promos (Saks has one coming up) is a good option, and maybe charge it onto a cash back card/new account card?
I don't know about Chanel bags, but you can definitely use it for jewelry and the J12 IS jewelry.
Okay thank you guys for subplanting this idea in my head
My friend has this watch and I love it.

Oh that is interesting - be worth a try to see if that is true everywhere . . . yeah and I wonder if you brought in cash lol like at some jewelers you could negotiate a better deal lol (I don't think so but funny to visualize that at NM)
Yeah I want my next BF to be one of those guys who I see actually "in" La Perla buying their special someone beautiful lingerie. I would keep one of those guys.
