Oh and I wanted to add something in case someone comes to this thread and doesn't feel like reading though the 25+ pages of this thread...

If you open up a Bloomingdale's card to take advantage of the 15%/20% off, you have to wait 3 years after closing the account before you can re-sign up for another card and take advantage of whatever discount they are having at the time. The discount only applies to the Bloomingdale's store card and not to the American Express card for anyone who was wondering whether or not signing up for the store card and the American Express gives you 2 ways to get the discount.

I had another question in regards to this: do you have to actually formally close the account, or just not use the account (so that it will just be inactive for a period of time)?

Also, do you know if it was 20% off the retail or 20% off retail + tax?

Thanks!

awesome!!! which jumbo and WOC did you get? I'm sooo excited for you!!!! and your SA is right...during the 20% I got the last jumbo and it was at the very last minute, just hours before the 20% was about to end! they're the first bags to go and lots of people put them on hold prior to the actual start of the 20%. And plus, it's only twice a year so the next time it rolls around, prices will have already increased. You made a very wise decision! don't forget to do a reveal for us!!!

it's 20% off the retail and then tax on the discounted price. Initially, they charge you the retail + tax, but on your billing statement, you will get a credit. I posted a full description of the whole process a few posts back.

And if you're not using your card anymore and really don't plan on using it again then you would/should formally cancel it. I was thinking about cancelling mine but I will most likely just end up keeping it because I may need the card some day to buy something off their website (since they often offer additional discounts to cardholders).

I have the card but have not used it. Can I use it on phone order for Chanel? And which bloomies carry Chanel? Thanks.

you can only get the discount if you use your card within 2 days of opening an account. if you already have a bloomies card (physical card in hand) but have never used it, then you will not be able to get the discount because it will have been past the 2 days.

Oh that's too bad :sad::shucks: That's the very reason why I signed up in the first place but I didn't know about this rule.

Does anyone know whether a bag bought with the discount (bought within 2 days of opening a card) can be returned for another color (but same style) and still maintain the discount? Or will the return cancel out the discount and then the new purchase for the different color will be at the regular price?

I asked the SA this same question and this is what I was told: As long as the price of the bag is the same or lower (or if you're just exchanging it for a different color), you will get to keep the discount because it will be processed as an exchange. So, just make sure whoever is your SA that they run the transaction as an exchange rather than a return. HTH =D

Hi
So if I have a jumbo and I want to exchange for a medium, I will still get to keep the 20% or 15% discount?
