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.

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]

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

On the subject of maintaining a small size, I've always been about a size 2 (sometimes a 4 in jeans or pants since my hips used to be the biggest part of me), but since I switched from vegetarian to vegan, I've been a size 0, probably because there's less fat in my diet...or it could be because my body in general's been ramped up (I'm sick at the moment for the first time in over 9 months and my allergies have almost completely disappeared; I'm healthier than I've ever been and I can see the lower weight being a result of my being healthier in general). I eat plenty and I don't deny myself junk food if I want it (not that I've ever been a big junk food eater, but I do eat it when I want it).

Honestly, though, when it comes down to it, I just have a high metabolism. Always have, although it seems to be higher now than it used to be. I seem to be the only person in my family who does (along with being the only one who doesn't need glasses). Some people are just naturally small. Smilie

And, ugh...like I mentioned, I'm sick right now. Really sick. I have a bad case of cellulitis inside my frickin' nose of all places. That whole side of my nose was swollen up yesterday and there was a lump the size of a kidney bean (a pocket of infection) that was completely blocking me getting any air in through that side. Went to urgent care and the doctor tested me for strep (negative) and put me on some horse pill-sized antibiotics and told me to come back in two days to be checked again (to make sure the infection isn't spreading up into my eye and I'm not developing blood poisoning). As if that's not fun enough, I have a horrible cold (or maybe it's the flu, the doctor couldn't say for sure and was more concerned about my nose, same as I was) and I've been throwing up all day today. vomit Frown

Just want to join in on the weight topic - I've always been a big girl, even in kindergarten. I was always a lot taller than everyone else (of course, I was in China, so everyone is tiny by comparison, haha), and with the height I'm proportionally bigger. I remember my mom telling me that when she was young, she used to have a really small waist, and my waist has never been small. Throughout middle and high school when I moved to the US, I started eating fatty foods a lot more and gained a lot of weight. I was about 190lbs during junior year. I didn't really think it was bad or anything, since with my body frame (I'm 5'10''), 190 is not even overweight on the BMI scale.

Anyway, I realized that I need to lose weight when I noticed breathing hard every time I climbed the stairs, and I wanted to be a surgeon back then, so I knew that I had to be in good physical shape to do that job (I don't want to do surgery anymore, I'm thinking about emergency medicine now XD). That was my motivation to lose weight - not because I thought I was fat (sure, I could shed a few pounds and be prettier though, haha). I started with walking on treadmill about 30 min a day with some running interspersed in there; I couldn't even run for more than a few minutes at first. After a few days I began to run for 25 minutes but taking a break after 15 or so minutes by switching to walking. I just sticked with that but I increased the speed every week or two weeks. I didn't run everyday, on average probably 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes more sometimes less. After about 5 months, I dropped down to about 160 (I went to prom during that time!), and after two more month, I was at 145lbs.

Right now my weight fluctuates between 143 and 150, and I'm pretty happy with that. I guess my suggestion to whoever is trying to lose weight is to give the weight loss a reason other than just to lose weight. I lost weight because I wanted to be healthy for a future career, and that was my motivation which sticked with me. It was after I have lost all the weight that I realized how much better I looked and how I don't feel weird wearing non-sweatshirt clothes anymore.

Oh and I guess I'm a good example of Asians who don't have insanely high metabolism and have bigger body frames Smilie

That musta been a neat class! Working at a company that promotes healthy living and all that good stuff with what we sell helps.

But hey! You can always enjoy pizza, french friends, and desserts in moderation!! Now I'm craving all of the above!!

Yep. Gonna try it with the SRC anyway.

If anyone has a $10 SRC they are looking to blow, there are some sweaters that finally got marked down to the right price in the winter collection that with the codes you can get with a scarf for <$5 oop.

...also on that note gals don't forget your PAs.

Thanks for the heads up! The Cotton rib squareneck sweater [victoriassecret.com] is now $9.99. Use a $10 SRC and codes 25VS and SCARF09 to get the sweater and scarf for just under $5 total. Hurry though...it looks like the scarf is now only available in vibrant red... nod

So it depends on cashier. I obviously saw the total amount was deducted, then she took off $10 and told me that system did not accept itRoll Eyes (Sarcastic) I could not say anything since I am not sure about the combination SSC and Angel RC..Thank you and repped all who answered my questions.

I had several issues at the Victoria's Secret store I frequent with their customer service, so I contacted VS customer service regarding the issues. I was offered a 30% discount card and then after that my comments were forwarded to a supervisor. The supervisor e-mailed me back and said they would not send me anymore coupons to me and that they welcome my comments.

I am really upset about this. The woman wasn't helpful and refused to send me the original coupon that was promised. The woman said that I have refused coupons in the past and they no longer would be able to send me a coupon.

I am really dissapointed with this, and think I should write a letter or ask for her supervisor's information. She is in the customer relations dept and e-mailed me from her e-mail address.

I had several bad experiences at the store and they refused to let me get a dog with the lollipops. Then they refused to take my survey coupon for $10 off with the $25 items from PINK. What should I do? The woman said I am not able to receive anymore coupons from them but they welcome my comments.
How many times have you complained about it?

Just want to join in on the weight topic - I've always been a big girl, even in kindergarten. I was always a lot taller than everyone else (of course, I was in China, so everyone is tiny by comparison, haha), and with the height I'm proportionally bigger. I remember my mom telling me that when she was young, she used to have a really small waist, and my waist has never been small. Throughout middle and high school when I moved to the US, I started eating fatty foods a lot more and gained a lot of weight. I was about 190lbs during junior year. I didn't really think it was bad or anything, since with my body frame (I'm 5'10''), 190 is not even overweight on the BMI scale.

Anyway, I realized that I need to lose weight when I noticed breathing hard every time I climbed the stairs, and I wanted to be a surgeon back then, so I knew that I had to be in good physical shape to do that job (I don't want to do surgery anymore, I'm thinking about emergency medicine now XD). That was my motivation to lose weight - not because I thought I was fat (sure, I could shed a few pounds and be prettier though, haha). I started with walking on treadmill about 30 min a day with some running interspersed in there; I couldn't even run for more than a few minutes at first. After a few days I began to run for 25 minutes but taking a break after 15 or so minutes by switching to walking. I just sticked with that but I increased the speed every week or two weeks. I didn't run everyday, on average probably 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes more sometimes less. After about 5 months, I dropped down to about 160 (I went to prom during that time!), and after two more month, I was at 145lbs.

Right now my weight fluctuates between 143 and 150, and I'm pretty happy with that. I guess my suggestion to whoever is trying to lose weight is to give the weight loss a reason other than just to lose weight. I lost weight because I wanted to be healthy for a future career, and that was my motivation which sticked with me. It was after I have lost all the weight that I realized how much better I looked and how I don't feel weird wearing non-sweatshirt clothes anymore.

well said! Man i got up to like 180lb in middle school i think it was, and I'm only 5'5"! x___x thankfully i'm nowhere near that kinda overweightness any more laugh out loud exercise does seem to help a lot doesn't it? nod aaaah i need to go! but whe it's completely dark by the time i get outta work at like 6 or 7PM, last thing i want is head to the gym D: i wish it's summer already so it's light til 9PM and i feel far more motivated to go

the issue is with the registers that only allow one deduction to be scanned into the system. Hence SAs saying that the system won't take it. BUT the SAs can manually enter a second money off code, it is just that usually 1/2 the time no one has shown them how.

Next time you could suggest that to her, tell her that you have done it before and if she doesn't know how, ask a manager.....though then you might have to deal with a crappy manager.

I'm on the short side (only 5') but I wouldn't say I have a small frame. I am about the smallest I have ever been right now and I'm fluctuating between 120-125 lbs. My sizes really haven't changed though from when I was 135 lbs for the longest time. I only got up to about 150 with both of my pregnancies too. Both boys. I've always wanted to lose about 10 more lbs. My goal weight is 115, but I can never stay consistent with the exercising and eating healthier. I really don't eat that bad, but since I'm a SAHM I don't really eat that much during the day and if I do it's like soup or something small like that and then we have a big dinner usually. I know it would help probably if I moved the 'big' meal to lunchtime instead of dinner...I just don't like to cook so doing it in the middle of the day isn't for me. lol

I need some help ladies. I have been intending to get my husband teh sephora for him fragrance sampler for christmas. I got the coupon, so now i have it in my cart. I have the fragrance sampler, be delicious fresh bloom deluxe sample, Michael Kors Very Hollywood Eau de Parfum - 0.05 oz , Versace Man Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette - 0.05 oz , TEMPTU ADORN Temporary Tattoo Kit - Girly Chic - 2 Temporary Tattoo Sheets & Application Pads , Benefit Cosmetics Crescent Row Mini Fragrance Set all for about $40 shipped. Should i pull the trigger? Now that I have it ready to purchase, I am having second thoughts.
i got one of the samplers last year for my brother, and he loved it! Teehee it's nice cuz they can pick one of a bunch of scents, and use the cert to get the one they like the most for free. the only thing bad thing is if they don't like any of the scents...in which case, i'm not sure what you'd do with the cert? i do think it's a good value though, especially with the coupon Smilie

speaking of that coupon....sephora, where is mine?!? Frown i spent wayy too much money during the two F&Fs and Bing 20% CB for you to forget about me! laugh out loud
