from my understanding, no. you can't use it over the phone, and definately not online or at the outlet.
btw, Since February I've spent about $2000 at the boutique and I've not returned a single thing, yet I still did not get a pce invite this time, (yet) I think i'm done with them, If something comes up that I NEED (lol) I'll either wait until it hits the outlets or buy it on ebay, they have shown me that I am not a "preferred customer" So I prefer to shop elsewhere.
If I do I'll pay it forward and offer it to someone on tpf, between the last pce and recent outlet trips I think i'm set for a while in the handbag dept, I'm hoping they come out with a new "to die for" legacy line this fall though.You could still get one....I think it was Ms Whitney that said the people that have received them early because they shouldn't have been sent yet. And I don't think it's a purchase requirement to qualify for one....I got my first one last summer after buying like 1 or 2 bags.
You started in February also? I started the second week of february and have spent close to 4k that's NOT including my coach purchases from the outlet, ebay, and Macy's. Anddd I haven't received an invite.I think it really does depend on the SA, When I went in the boutique and asked about getting the discount without a coupon, the first SA I talked to said no, Then I got a coupon (thanks again highonhandbags!) I called to see if something was in stock or had to be ordered before going in and the SA I talked to said I did not even need to come in, I could order it over the phone... AND she offered me the pce discount before I could even mention it, So if you call and they say no, try calling again in hopes of getting someone different.
