Yup warranty is the same! Maybe if you get better card benefits from buying at Saks I would go there. Anything to help with the initial cash outlay of buying the piece to begin with! Good luck.Hello, I'm having the same dilemma. I have both a Saks & a Cartier boutique nearby and went to both places in the past week. If you purchase the watch at Saks you still get the same warranty as if you purchase it at the Cartier boutique, but at Saks like feifei123 above mentioned, you may get reward points for the dollar amount of the purchase depending on the level of your Saks cc. There is no 10% off or any other discount for purchasing at Saks w/ your Saks cc, even if you open the Saks cc to purchase the watch (I don't have a Saks cc yet so I asked). Cartier & most of the other boutiques at Saks do not participate in discounts, family & friends, or other store promotions. So, the only benefit for purchasing at Saks, that's different from purchasing at the Cartier boutique, is the points you may earn for the purchase. Saks & Cartier both have the option for 1 yr no interest financing if you qualify. I just learned this info this past week & I hope it helps. I still don't know where I am going to get mine at. Can't seem to decide what to do even after going to both places.
I agree js2367
I spoke with SAs from two different Saks here in Fl and they both said the points you get for a Cartier watch accumulate to about a $70 - $75 cash reward card, because Cartier does not participate in double or triple points. I don't have a Saks cc and the only reason for me to get one would be for the watch purchase, because I thought at about $4k for a watch, Saks would provide more of a reward/incentive for me. However, it would be good to get their cc if I planned on spending more money at Saks throughout the year, in addition to the watch, because then your cc level/benefits are increased the more $ you spend in a year and the points you earn accumulate faster, but that was not my intention. So, we shall see

What if your saks card limit is not enough for the Cartier purchase and you used other methods to pay for the extra. Would i still get the 6 point per dollar spent. Since the bracelet is around 25k. Which makes you a diamond member.I agree js2367

You can always ask your SA to call and request for your limit to be raised. Limits on the MPA accounts are usually higher anyway. If you don't have an MPA account through Saks then I would look into that.
only have a regular saks store card. not mpa account. . with a 5k limit for now. So if im buying a bracelet that is like $25000, which automatically make me a diamond member with 6%. That means i'll get about $1500 gc is that correct?
