I do not check invoice sometimes. I should start checking it. With school and all I am not going crazy for SRC this time. 3 srcs for me so far ! one of it I got with b/o panty today :whee :
I have 10, & hope to get lucky by getting a few in b/o items. I may buy a few more bras this month too. Last time I only had 4. I can't seem to resist the lure this time. Embarrassment

Quote from annicus :
:coverlaf me too! i've checked twice today. still nothing. :sadwalk : :lo l:

btw, thanks to whoever told us that our vita coco may be bad. i emailed amazon yesterday and they are refunding me the amount. i would prefer for them to send another case, but oh well.

the response was funny tho - they obviously copied and pasted their response, because it said:
"Hello,

I'm sorry to hear the "Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water" you received was not as expected.

If the customer contacts us because the coconut water they received looks cloudy or tastes bad, please let them know that

Please note that the Coconut Water is supposed to look slightly cloudy it is an acquired taste. This product has not expired and once opened, Coconut Water should be refrigerated and used within 24 hours.

Since this items was not as expected, now I've issued a refund of $12.32 to your Gift Card. This amount will be credited in the next 2-3 business days."

note the bolded part. :coverlaf :

i specifically mentioned that it was yellow and that i understood it was supposed to be cloudy but not yellow or sour. :shake : oh well...
It sounds like they get a lot of complaints about that product. I'm glad they gave you a refund. Amazon has pretty good CS.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Wow! I am behind on my SRC's. I've only got 3.



Yep, I'm 5'3" but not with my Jessica Simpson platforms. :teehee :



And VS. My daughter was walking through Express with me and said man this store is expensive! I said not when you know how to shop it. ; )



I don't either until I try on jeans and jackets.



Even my flip flops I wear to the pool have a heel. :lol :



:eek : Wow! I hope some of those are high dollar ones! Last time around I had 5 and all were $10.

I love those shoes you just bought. They are super cute! :girly :
Quote from tarribear :
I have 6 or 7 src's. I tell myself each time I am not getting more than a certain amount and I fail. Haven't had over $10 last couple go around, hoping for higher ones this time.
I've had one SRC ever that was $50. All the rest have been $10. I used to get a lot, but I got tired of trying to spend so many $10s.

Quote from kurips :
i :heart : that all us shorties don't feel short. i thought i am the only one.

also, an instance where i would remember i'm short is in group pictures and the group is not my family :coverlaf


:chairba s:



that's nice how they have set responses for specific issues :lol :
Most people in my family are taller than me too. I agree with you about pictures. I hate having my picture taken. To make it worse they always put me in the front. I want to hide in the back. laugh out loud I'm the youngest, so they don't care what I think. shake head

Quote from Stardust42 :
Grrr...is something wrong with the VS email system? I emailed [email protected], [email protected], and also reply through my order confirmation. Never got a reply or even an automated one. Mad

Also, not sure if this has been posted or not:
SP1229053 - $10 off reg price bra purchase + free cotton panty in white, black, nude, or light buff. Expires 4/11


:lo l: You don't know alvsy. By the end of this month, she will probably have over 50 SRCs.
Thanks for the bra code. Smilie

express shoppers:

if i understand correctly, the next program is available for all customers, not just the cc holders. the cc holders just get better perks. sign up here [express.com], at least express is giving chance for non-cc holders to get rewarded too for being shopaholics Teehee

i was just going to come here and complain about how confusing it all is! how do i get points for my last purchase on the new cc i just opened? i just signed up for next right now. Confused

hopefully the two will just automatically link. it's kinda dumb that i had to separately sign up for next, actually.

i do like how you can get points for other stuff too tho.

Interesting about the Express Next Card. Seems as if you may not remain in the A-List status and have to requalify each year. Earning Period they're defining it as each year, but they speak below it as if it's like monthly or something. And they upped it from $250 to $700.

This is from their terms: Determination of Member Status will be evaluated for each Earning Period. If a Member attains A-List Status in an Earning Period, the Member will commence the next Earning Period at the A-List Status, but for purposes of determining Member Status Level for the next Earning Period, the Member's Points will start at zero for the new Earning Period. By way of example, if a Member reaches A-List Status in the first Earning Period, the Member will be considered at A-List Status in the second Earning Period, but will have to earn sufficient points in the second Earning Period to remain at A-List Status for the third Earning Period.

I haven't been liking Express for a while now, so I don't know if I will remain an A-lister like I am now Sadwalk

it is confusing. i'm not sure if your last purchase would count OMG when you signed up for cc, i'm not sure if it automatically enrolled you because you signed up when the new program has started. maybe it did. for us who are existing cc holders, they made us sign up, and it's because we were in the old program. there is a separate next account though, at least for us. during my confusion in signing up, i did it for my 2nd account first. then my 1st account. they ended up with different id numbers. i've used my express cc on both accounts before. my main account has the upgraded status, the 2nd does not.

eta: if it's not automatic next reward enrolment, your sa should have made you sign up Mad i have a feeling it's automatic for the newly-opened card. however, how about when you make your first online order, would they be able link your online account to your next account automatically? Dontknow

It seems like an annual review of status like Sephora VIB. Looks like that's one thing not good about it.
ETA: It looks like cc holders need less $ spent for every point earned (or more point earned for every $ spent). 15 points for every $. non-cc gets 10 points.

good luck. i hope the sa knows what he was saying and you actually earn your points correctly without having to bitch. bitching takes up time and energy, and brings in emotional stress Stick Out Tongue

I guess since I don't spend so much at Express, I will find it hard to get up to $700 a year. Who knows, might change. I don't like the requalification because the amount is so high, but yeah, with Sephora VIB, amount is high too, but I feel like skincare is a need. laugh out loud Crazy

The way I read it is that the premier status is based in points and not a $$ amount. It's only $500 at regular premier earnings (15 pts) plus you get double and triple points on certain things each month so that should help. Also you can earn bonus points by reviewing, tweeting, checking in with foursquare, etc. I'm not worried about it, but I shop a lot there.

laugh out loud You don't know alvsy. By the end of this month, she will probably have over 50 SRCs.
My hubby would be in heaven if I earned that many SRC's this month buying lingerie. laugh out loud

Thank you for the code, thought I used that one already but it went through. Another SRC for me!! woot

Quote from kurips :
i heart that all us shorties don't feel short. i thought i am the only one.
My DD is a shortie too and her sister some how got my brother's height so she is tall. The shortie always complains she isn't as tall as her sister so I tell her unless her plan in life was to be a supermodel she can wear heels and be just as tall (but not until she is older.) nod

Quote from IceyNiki :
I finally wore my Bronze VC Ruched Pumps out in the world this past weekend. I wore them with a simple outfit (White Body Tees Empire Tee, Jeans, and Cardigan), so they could be the star of the outfit. They look amazing!!!! (I also own them in Graphite. Sooooo cute!)

Those are hot! I want them in both colors. I'm a sucker for a peep toe. heart

Sweet! Just signed up for it. Of course after signing up the screen popped up that I was pre-approved for a CC. Same bank as VS. I think someone is desperate for CC holders. nod
