Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.


Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!


Please PM everyone who was a part of the VS Social Thread to inform them of our new home.

ok thanks
I bet something pops up. I've noticed the deals get better further into the month. My theory is they expect people to use them right off so they don't do as many deals. If I was buying stuff instore I'd stick to the cheap beauty stuff or undies. I'm spoiled with their deals and don't like paying much for their stuff laugh out loud. You could get some sa to let you use them together or with coupons but they're not supposed to according to the terms. Doesn't hurt to try though.

Cust serv called the store and authorized them to combine the SRC and $10 off bra codes, but the girl didn't have a clue as to what she was doing. The total was wrong and we were in there forever. We left out of frustration. The other thing I don't get is how people in the other VS thread are combining online and even getting an ecard. This bra is way out of my price range, but she is a great kid and has worked really hard her 1st yr. in college. idk, I'm annoyed.

People are ordering an egc for $25, paying with a SRC and $15 other payment. Repeat, etc. However, please be advised that in the past, people have gotten flagged, had orders cancelled, and lost value of their SRCs. So this is a big do at your own risk deal!

I just went over there and saw that. I'm about to pm you.

Well hba said what I was going to say. Be careful. They know about that trick and I know people who have lost their src's doing that.

laugh out loud i know! but it takes time too... bc egc's don't arrive instantly. so that person must have done this over the course of a few days. way too much commitment imo!

honestly, if it's 1 person doing it, i'm sure vs wouldn't care.
but bc that person posted in the thread, now there are a bunch of others trying it.

i'm sure at some point vs will flag all of them... i was going to try converting my $50 to egc but now i think i'll just spend it.

If you buy something you don't like with a src you can always return it. They credit it back to your cc or send you a check. I wouldn't risk it since they will give you a refund if you don't like your purchase.

I'm waiting on a free shipping that combines. The 20% bra top/dress was combining with the tier. The 20% was working on some of the 2 for items. There will be some great deals if we just get a free shipping code that combines!

I just heard the Doctors show compare a vajayjay to a self-cleaning oven LMAO in their advice to not douche.

Quote from sportsdoll :
Would love some help from the experts here. My DD age 18 has 4 $10 SRC's, an instore $10 off a bra and a $10/$50 from a survey she just took which was the worst store experience ever.
They even screwed up the Ipad order. She left the store crying. What is the best bang for a buck I can do for her? I am trying to treat her to a $52 bra and spend as little oop as possible. tia
Agree with Alvs... online is the best way to go. If all else fails, they should do a "Free shipping with bra purchase" offer before the end of the month, tack on a code for $10 off + free panty Q + SRC and you will do pretty well. The last few times, they've had the free bra shipping at the same time as a PINK GWP - so add a cheap PINK panty and snag a GWP doggie or tote as well. Sweet of you to try to right VS' wrong.

That person may have shot herself/himself in the foot, by posting it on that thread. I know they were trying to be helpful, but posting things for the whole world to see is rarely a good idea.
