Hi,
So I recently heard Chanel is becoming leased boutique across all the multi brand retailers. Shortly after, my VCA SA told me that they are also planning to pull out of NM in US because they want to have more control over their jewelry. Did anybody else hear that? TIA!

Would love to hear more info on this. NM is so convenient for the zero interest program...

depending on the amount..I think 5 thousand is 6 months no interest if paid in full and over 10 thousand is 12 months no interest if paid within that time frame

That is correct. You just have to make the required monthly payment, and your statement will actually have the stated required payment to meet the obligation. Also, if you buy additional non-promotional stuff and you want to make sure you don’t default on the minimum required for the interest-free payment plan, you need to pay for the payment plan portion for that month PLUS the new purchase.

I called and asked about this because some CC companies will screw you and only apply the payment to the promotional balance, leaving the new purchase unpaid and therefore collecting interest. Thankfully NM does it right in this case.

Yes ! On my most recent purchase 12 mo no interest but you have to split it in 12 and make at least that payment. And yes added purchases must be paid off in time. It’s great to be able to use it for Van Cleef but I have to be careful about my other purchases :)

My sa did try to get the 18 mo on the magic necklace for me but it was a no go [emoji38]

Inside the NM Christmas Book. Page 233. Showcasing the grey MOP and a watch which I do not recognize. It states that the face is MOP, but are the motifs rock crystal?

I have this watch. Will snap a pic later. It is pave open alhambra motifs(nothing in the middle) with white MOP face and diamond bezel. Wears like a loose bracelet. Adore it.
