NEW! Victoria's Secret Coupon Thread
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This section can and should be edited by users.

I have a code not already listed here, what do I do?
First, please bring it to our attention in conversation. Second, it would be helpful to us if you would add the code, any offer details, and offer links available to this very wikipost, in the section above marked "Codes to be added to the first post."

Does VS charge for return shipping?
Yes. If you use the UPS label that VS provides with your order, you will be charged $5.99. This label comes with its own tracking number. Occasionally you can get free return shipping labels with your orders when particular offer codes are available. Also, if something is wrong with the item you received or the order is wrong, you can call Customer Service (CS) and ask them to waive the return shipping fee.

Can I put returns from different orders in a single return shipment?
Yes. You may want to bind all items from one order together with their return form and bind any other return items with their respective return forms using rubberbands or something similar. However, it is not a requirement to bind them.

I want to return something, does it matter that I threw away that plastic bag with the barcode on it?
It will help VS process your return if the item is in the original bag; however, it is not a requirement.

I want to return something, but I lost my order invoice / return form, what do I do?
Your order information should still be available under "Your Account" --> "Order Status." You can print out a return/exchange form here: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/html/custsrvc/shipping/ExchangeReturnForm.pdf and then fill it out with the information from your Order Status. Form is also attached at the bottom of the wiki.

What happened to the monthly Birthday Codes?
It seems that to cut down on coupon abuse Victoria's Secret is now emailing VIctoria's Secret Angels their Birthday Reward with individual certificate numbers.

Does VS do price adjustments?
Yes. For online orders, price adjustments must be done within 3 weeks of the shipment date. You can, however, call CS and depending on the rep you get, they might adjust the price if it's within a reasonable time (a couple days) from the 3 week mark. For in-store purchases, a one-time price adjustment may be made within 2 weeks of the original purchase (must have original receipt).

Does VS accept in-store returns for online purchases?
No. Some items they offer online are available in the store, but item numbers may differ. They do not accept your order invoice as a receipt. You can try to do an "I got this as a gift" exchange without a receipt, but they might not carry the item. If they do carry it, the store will give you store credit for the lowest price the item has ever been. VS does not accept in-store clothing returns on Moda International or any other brand the website carries.

Do I have to return my GWPs when I return the corresponding item purchased?
According to the offer details, VS reserves the right to charge you for the GWPs if you return the corresponding item. However, it depends on what the GWP is and the customer service rep you talk to. In general, if the GWP is an item that they sell, such as lip glosses, ultimate tanks, or flip flops, you will have to give it back in the return. If the GWP is something they don't sell, like totes, weekender bags, and PINK dogs, you normally won't have to return it.

New Question--->I checked my card, and I did not get Anniversary Triple Points in the month of (insert month). What happened?

COLUMBUS OH 43216
you might want to call in and verify. hth.

What is VS's address for returns?
VSD Attn: Returns Processing
8695 East Broad Street

What is VS's address for general inquiries?

North American Office
P.O. Box 16589
Columbus, Ohio 43216-6589

How do I get offers mailed to me?
When visiting VS stores, the cashiers normally ask for your phone number and email. Giving them this information allows them to send coupons and mailers to the address corresponding to your phone number. You can also request catalogs through their website and sign up for emails there as well.

When is the Semi-Annual Sale (SAS)?
There are 2 Semi-Annual Sales yearly. Generally, they will start in May (online) and June (in-store) or December/early January (online) and January (in-store).

What does it mean to be flagged and how do I avoid it?
VS flags customers who they feel have abused the coupon codes and/or placed orders that they believe to be illegitimate. There are levels of being flagged, from not being allowed any GWPs or to use coupon codes to outright not allowing you to order from VS anymore. If you get flagged, all of your linked accounts will be flagged too. To avoid being flagged, you shouldn't engage in excessive coupon abuse, or place several orders with the same codes in one day. If you do get flagged, the only way around it is to set up a different account with all new personal information (address, credit card, phone number, and email).

How do I check the balance of my gift card, Secret Santa Card, or Secret Rewards Card?
You may check any promotional gift card or gift card balance in-store. You may also call 1-800-888-8200 and speak to a customer representative who will check any gift cards and promotional cards.

I cannot check my order status. Help!
Type your Client Number and Order Number directly onto the website instead of using the email link. If you do use the email link, ensure that the Order Number does not show up as a line of asterisks (*******). If it does, you must type in the Order Number to gain access to your order status. If neither of these work, clear out your cookies/cache and try again.

What is considered coupon abuse?


Some examples of abuse are:
â–ª using the Birthday Code when it is not your birth month
â–ª using the Birthday Code in your birth month more than once
â–ª using more than one code applied to a single item in order to receive multiple GWPs
â–ª placing multiple orders in a small timeframe of the same items to receive several of the same discounts/GWPs
â–ª getting the same GWP more than once using different codes
â–ª stacking the Tier Code and the Free Shipping Code in one order
â–ª using too many $10 off codes (Bra Codes and Birthday Codes)
â–ª using discount/GWP codes and checking out without the necessary items in your order by getting them to "stick"
Reminders:

DO NOT POST YOUR ORDERS DETAILS on Slickdeal
Buying & Selling is not allowed on SlickDeals at all, regardless of the amounts
Trading anything with a retail value of $5 or less is OK
Do not talk people into making others' names appear in "Bold" or telling people who to rep. You may lose your rep points and/or abilities.

new info provided by SheenaMarie412:

What is a Secret Reward Card (SRC)?

This card is given out by VS for purchases made during a specific time frame. Most recently, it was given out in November, with any in-store purchase of $10 or more, or with any purchase online. The cards can be redeemed from December 1 – 24, 2009. The cards have a value of at least $10, but can also be $50, $100, or $500.

Cards cannot be used for gift card purchases. If you do use it for such a purchase online, you do so at your own risk. In the past, when VS has caught similar situations, they have chosen to not refund the order because it is a violation of terms.

To redeem your card:
  1. Use it in stores. According to the terms, you can use one SRC per transaction. If there is any remaining value after your purchase, it will remain on your card until the card expires on December 24.
  2. Use it on phone orders. Just call in, and give the SRC number and PIN when placing your order.
  3. Use it online. When you get to the checkout screen, enter the SRC number and PIN in the gift card slot.

Note: For phone and online orders, you can use up to 3 codes and only 1 SRC per order.

Are the $10 off any PINK purchase printable coupons on eBay valid?

NO. These are fraudulent coupons. There are a lot of sellers listing these on eBay, and despite numerous reports, these listings are not taken down. Even though the sellers have positive feedback, these are not legitimate coupons. They have been going around for a while now. If your coupon looks like this [couponomist.com], but with some alterations, it is FAKE. Some sellers change the expiration date, some remove it entirely…does not matter, the coupon is fraudulent![/QUOTE]

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 29TH, 2010!!!

WHAT AN F IN THE A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you get the letter, it really does look like junk mail, open it up completely, and look on the absolute bottom left of the letter where it says a "Processing Fee: You will be charged $1.00 for each paper monthly billing statement mailed to you. You will not be charged this fee if you have registered for online access to your account and have agreed to receive your monthly billing statement solely electronically via e-statements" O AND ALSO, they are changing something regarding arbitration, and the only option they give you is to write to them if you don't accept the conditions and cancel your card

IME, i've gotten Bing CB on all my drugstore/beauty.com purchases whether I used a FS coupon, $10 off $50 coupon, or individual item coupons. I know it's supposed to void it, and if you use coupons your CB won't show up automatically.. you have to submit a manual request a few days later and then they will credit your account. Always worked for me, though a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle (though i don't think it is) of submitting a manual request. HTH!
Wave Thanks earthy! How do you do a manual request? Just reply with your invoice? Smilie

Trying to decide whether to do urlhasbeenblocked or bing - I know urlhasbeenblocked will work, but bing has 20% vs. urlhasbeenblocked 6%.

if you go to the FAQ on their website there's something like "It's been 2 days and CB hasn't been posted to my acct" and there's a form you fill out with basic stuff. They send you an email, you reply with a copy of your order confirmation or a screen shot or something, and then they email you back after applying the CB to your acct Smilie

Would they honor it if I called for a PA?
Same thing happened to me and I already called on this and they said because I already got in on the 3 for $30 sweater promo, the could not do a PA.

nod try exercising, or if it's too boring, pick up a dance class or something, just to take your mind off of the "must loose weight!" mentality and just have more fun. Big Grin I think exercise does help though, i was able to loose weight much faster when i went to the gym more often, AND at that time i wasn't even practicing portion control! i went to the gym every day after work something like 4 or 5 days a week for only 30 min at a time donig cardio (the bike, which is easy). i was eating burger and fries at lunch pretty much, though my dinner was tiny (sometimes i'm so tired/lazy to cook that i just drink a big glass of oj). within 2 weeks i lost several pounds (something like 4 or 5 pounds? can't remember), and even after i stopped going to the gym (got sick all of a sudden) i was able to keep those pounds off by continuing to eat healthier.

no offense or anything, but do you happens to be chinese/japanese/korean? I have a Japanese friend (she's half actually) who's 5' and weighs less than 100, but her mom side of the family (all japanese) kept saying how fat she is when she goes back to japan. and this girl is REALLY tiny and petite. :\ sometimes maybe it's just not meant to be, maybe you inherited thick bones that no matter how much fat you loose you'll never become "smaller". but i'm fairly sure your mom would rather you be healthy than thin and looking like you're going to croak in 10 min laugh out loud goodluck!
maybe i will try that then! sometimes i think there's something wrong with me...and I'm not asian, people in my family are just very weight conscious

You did the 3 for $30 on the order you were calling to PA about or a different order? Because if it's the same order, I can understand (because they all end up being $10 anyway) but if it's a different order, that's ridiculous. They can't say you can't get a discount on one order because you got a completely different discount on another.

nod thanks on the note on the Heidi Klum stuff! I bought it last night actually after I got a single confirmation on MUA that it's pretty good quality. XD I'm thinking of getting the lippie or gloss or the mascara. or all three. i odn't need any more blushes so i'm skipping the ballz. do you have any of the other stuff?

i have super slow metabolism too :\ as soon as I'm done with all the end of the year craziness i'm going through, i'm gonna go pick up beginner hiphop or something, just anything to get me moving! laugh out loud
Yes, I got the mascara. Pretty!! I passed on the lipgloss and the lipstick because when I tried it in stores, it makes me look like I have no color on my lips. I struggle with actually having color in my lips - I frequently look like I just had all the color drained from my face unless I'm really hot or done from exercising. My lips are actually just a nude color. I need them to be slightly a tinge of red, so I passed.

They tasted/smelled like chocolate though!

Quote from bailuli :
since you girls are talking about this I'll chime in too. XD I've been practicing portion control, maybe not so seriously stringently since the LAST thing i need is feeling so starved that i can't fall asleep when I need to work the next day etc., but I have been cutting down on how much i eat. I noticed that without extra exercising, even if I eat very little or a good healthy portion (not over eating), i can't seem to loose more than the 10 pounds i lost before.

So like everyone else said, just starving yourself is NOT the way to go. You'll slow your metabolism (animals start to hog fat when their body realize they're not receiving enough nutrients, thinking that it's because you're now in a "winter" stage where you can't find food easily), so technically you'd be loosing the fat even slower. and if you accidentally lost control and ate more than usual/binge, then you probably would be gaining more back that can't be easily lost.

nutrients is important too, i was trying to practice portion control (and save money) by not eating lunch or eating a tiny lunch. that month i felt tired all the time, lost eevn more hair than usual, and my skin was all pasty and gross looking. that's from not eating enough. not eating well does the same thing. college last semester when i was freaking out over job hunting + moving + finals + projects, i was eating large meals of burgers and whatever fastfood i can get my hands on, and usually one or two large meals a day (though i was skipping meals then too). my parents came up and told me i looked like sh*t.

so what's more important, looking and feeling more healthy and be your natural weight (which probably would NOT make you look fat, despite your jean size/weight on the scale), or looking pasty and gross and totally unhealthy but size 2?

btw i think if you get hungry super often, wouldn't that mean you have a high metabolism? though i'm not sure, could be just a side affect of not eating much though.
I definitely went though the body holding on the fat thing and it took forever to lose that weight. But once I got through that, I kept losing weight. But that's bad. So girls, don't do it.

But what exactly is our natural weight with the types of food out there to consume? But I agree with you!

The last year of college (my only fall quarter and mostly 3rd year as well), I was stressed looking for a job and tons of projects I fell deathly ill. I had tonsillitis for a whole year and I was always sick, tired, and couldn't really eat. Needless to say, I'm sure my poor choice in diet/anorexic stage led to that.

I definitely feel happier now. I'm not ill, I'm not deathly looking, and I can fit into my clothes just fine :]

I think I may try to exercise more and see if that helps. I also think medications I am on really play a role (anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds). It's just difficult not being as thin as other women in you're family and having them lecture you that you must be eating too many cookies when you never have any! I do think I get an adequate amount of calories now...but a few years ago i only ate 500 calories a day for a month and never weighed less than 135 it's just weird.
My mom was like a size 0 or 00 or something when she was growing up. She saved some of her pretty dresses for me to wear when I was growing up in like middle school/high school and I couldn't even get in them! She was baffled as to why she was so skinny when she was in her 20's and I'm so much "larger" when I was only in my teens. And my dad used to lecture me about my weight. And then when I lost it all, he now lectures me about being too thin.

You can't win all your battles. Just gotta pick them. Just don't let them get to you and keep their distances at an arm's length away and don't take anything personally. I know it's hard to do and I've had to learn this over time as well. Be strong and keep fighting! heart

Quote from veloscovich :
ehh, i think hunger means multiple things. It can mean you are hungry b/c you do have a high metabolism or it could be you aren't eating enough, it can even be mental. Alot of really obese people have mental feeling of hunger. Alot of even normal people feel hungry when they are bored. It could also just mean that while you may be eating enough, but your body is not getting the nutrients it needs out of the foods it is receiving or you are eating food high in refined carbs which make your blood sugar spike and then drop (causing hunger) as opposed if you ate unrefined carbs which take longer to be absorbed by the body.
I know mostly my feelings of hunger are mental. Unless it's getting close to lunch time when I'm starving. Like right when I get to work, I'm hungry. And then I think about food all the way up until lunch unless I'm super swamped and busy. So I get hungry when I'm bored.

I find that when I'm out and about and running around, I don't feel hungry AT ALL. So I eat when I know I should. So it's good to be able to evaluate your hunger needs :]

And thanks about that explanation about the carbs. My brother is a BioSci major and he analyzes everything he eats and what I eat and it makes me self-conscious about foods at times!

I called the VS customer service to complaint about Angel reward and SSC, but the VS agent Kristin confirmed that the SA did right. I can only use Angel or SSC, and could not combine them..Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) So what is right and what is wrong?
Officially i think that the SSCs are not supposed to combine with any money off q's.......
and i think officially, only one money off code can be used-at least online now.

I know one time online i emailed to use a RC on a purchase it wouldn't combine with the catalog $10 q- I fought for days but they said officially they only take one money off per order. They ended up just crediting my account because they said 'i had other orders that qualified'

Since I've been the height I am now, I've never weighed less than 140. I've always been athletic and usually watch what I eat. Even working 8 hours a day at a very physical job and eating about 1500 calories a day I couldn't get below 145 with the extra muscle mass. In the best shape I was in, I was like 22% body fat, which is supposed to be "ideal" even though I was border-line overweight according to my BMI. There are so many different gauges for determining a healthy size or weight, but I think it's just best to get to a place you are comfortable with how you look and feel.

me too, and i'd emailed plenty of times before with success, so i don't know if they are trying to change the rules or what.

My thoughts exactly! I'm down to one SRC to use at the store anyway...So I wanted to use a RC and a $10 SRC. I guess I'll put it to a panty I've been eying instead :]
