Just in case it hasn't been posted yet, Saks is having it EGC next Thurs. I was told you can do a pre-sale for it starting Mon. with your Saks card. I am assuming its national and not regional, but I'm not positive about that.
Basically, you spend money and get a gift card for it. I think you can get up to around $450-500 or so. I think it is up to $300 you get $25 and it just goes up from there. I don't remember the exact amounts for each but it is a good "deal" if you're going to be spending the money anyway.
