Where have you been? Nono1 It's good to see you here. hug

I like their peel. Do you think ordering the cheaper items is safe? I'm hesitant, since the free peel doesn't show up in your cart.
lol, it's just been busy at home. I was in NY for most of April, then I came back and was in a wedding plus all the stuff for graduation. And dealing with the school...I'm about to send a very professional but frustrated email to our Dean of Student Affairs - the dept that deals with student health insurance sucks majorly. They told me that I had insurance, turns out I didn't even though I paid for it...gave me the run around before finally admitting that I didn't have insurance, though they blamed another party for the mix-up. Then they never mailed my diploma, lied and told me they did. I get it the day after I call them - guess what? Postmark date is the day before, and I'm pretty sure USPS wouldn't post-date their mailing lol. Gahh...

Re: Mychelle - I haven't ordered anything from them before other than the peels, so I really don't know, GH Frown I think the trial items are more iffy just because they're so inexpensive, but I'm sure the lipsticks ($10.59) would count. I def wish that the freebie would show up in the cart, just so we could know for sure.

I just used a $60 Express Reward yesterday...I don't even want to think about how much I spent to get it LMAO Though they have really good promos - I think I got 2000 or 3000 points free when they had 1000 point bonus with a purchase, and right now they have double points with a women's fragrance or accessory purchase. Plus there are points for re-tweeting on Twitter, writing reviews, checking in at stores, etc. And the FS totally makes it worth it...I think I like this Rewards program a lot more than the old one.

i'm getting pretty annoyed with express not adding my points for any of my purchases. is there something extra i can do, or tell them when i'm in the store? there's a store purchase that's not showing up, and my last 2 online purchases (1 was using a big reward) aren't showing either. what is wrong with my account?! do they not give you points if you use a reward? Annoyed i used my express next cc for all of these purchases.

hug Maybe try calling/emailing? You shouldn't have to tell them anything in store. It sometimes takes 2-3 days to show up, I've noticed, but if it's longer than that, maybe there's something wrong with how they linked your cc and ExpressNext account? Not sure...you should still earn points on purchases using rewards, but I think it will only be for the amount you spent after using the reward. At least, that's how I understood the program laugh out loud

Ooh, and happy birthday!!! Whee

Should I order the Gorgeous Pushup or Demi? I like the DA Demi & VS Pushup more than the DA Pushup & VS Demi. They seem to fit me better.

We've had a horrible time getting our DS insurance. We've been trying for over a month & keep getting a runaround. He has pre-existing conditions, which keeps causing roadblocks. I hope you get everything straightened out.

Does the lip gloss count as a fragrance or accessory or do you have to purchase something that falls directly underneath those categories online? I'm hoping to make a big purchase, when there's a sale. I got the card solely for the ability to eventually earn FS on all orders. Double points will help tremendously toward that.

When I used the lip gloss as filler I didn't think it was going to count for the bonus, but it did. Jewelry counts too.

Anybody have the Knot Strap Bra Top Dress or Ruched Bra Top Dress? http://www.victoriassecret.com/se...ueType=OLS I need some swim coverups & wondered if either of these would work. I have the Strapless Ruffle Coverup http://www.victoriassecret.com/se...ueType=OLS in black & white. When I pull them up high enough to cover my boobs at the top, the bottom of the lace hits about 1/2 way down my bra. I need something that will cover them amply & look like it actually fits right. I've given up on the coverups I have & started wearing shorts & shirt over my swim suits to the beach. Help? Please Any other suggestions for dresses to use as a coverup?

i have been calling, but some of them show up and some don't. so i don't understand what's going on! i hate calling and usually don't get a chance to do it before they close, unless i get up early to do it. and i only want points on the amt that i pay above the rewards value, but i haven't gotten it for anything.

thanks!

get the demi. the pushup will likely be too much padding/pushup for you. i have the demi - i thought the pushup was too much.

i usually reply to order confirmation (so that the order # and prices are in the email) and then i email [email protected] instead (i change the to: field).
