New name, same girls!

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 Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

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

I have the Target debit card. You can go in-store and apply. You just need a blank check. Then you don't take a credit score hit. I always use that to pay for my stuff at Target, then I don't have to keep my receipts because they can do a credit card look up when returning items.

They also do FS when you spend $50, if you don't have a card. You could order extra and just return what you don't want to the store.
I don't understand why my dh says no to this. He's won't do it though Frown.

the target debit card gives you fs too?

some items don't qualify for fs at all even when the purchase is $50+.
Yes! I have the debit card through target. I order all sorts of things, toys to beauty and get fresh ship!

They won't go 90%. My store had them tagged with the red clearance tags which means 70% is the lowest they will go.

I picked up the purple dress Lela Rose dress, even though it didn't have great reveiws.


The whole collection is 70% online too [target.com]
Thanks! I really wanted to get the Marc Jacobs rose gold case. Didn't want to drive to the store! Ordering now and urlhasbeenblocked!

I wasn't that impressed with the collection. It was nice stuff but nothing I had to have. I was kind of disappointed with it.
nod i went to get that luggage when it was 50 off. i came home without it - just couldn't justify it. but at 70% off i may get it! i have a bunch of gc's still from the wedding.

does target cc give fs on everything at target.com? if so, i need someone to order for me Teehee
nod it didn't used to be this way. they changed it sometime last year, i believe.
Quote from kurips :
dh always makes a comment on how i have so many cc's.
my DH knew this going into it, but he appreciates the 5% off and other perks from all my diff cc's. i actually got him a couple in his name so he can use the perks also.

the items still say that they must be returned by 1/5/13. what do y'all think this means? is it going back to mfg or something after that? it won't get to me before the 5th if i order it now, but i'd hate to be stuck with it if something happens (or if the luggage goes additional % off).

I will get the debit card when we go back there! Whee I'll just tell DH it won't affect the credit score, he'll probably be ok with it.

all the items in the collection say they ship free, so you may not need the target card to get FS.

i'm excited to prepare and send my returns after i receive everything i ordered today. my pile is an eyesore here :facep alm:
I need to return some stuff to help with the CC bill, but I want to keep it all. Facepalm

Quote from oewiz :
Does VS not have a swarovski bra this year? I realized that I haven't seen one all season.

Off topic a bit, but dudettes, I went to target today to check out the Neiman Marcus colab thing since it is 70% off now, the Jason Wu ornaments are so cute and well made :h eart: I got 1 set, but I wish I could justify buying enough of them to deck out a tree.
Did you get the ornaments that are online or were there others? I use glass ornaments, but I already have a lot in the ball shape. The balls online are really cute though.

Quote from nerdicus :
it looked brighter to me too. it's a fluorescent yellow color. i saw it in store and was glad i didn't order it (tho i kinda thought that i did... guess not).

i was super lucky. i brought DH with me today bc i wasn't sure if i'd even be able to use more than one coupon, but i waited until it was someone i didn't know at the checkout and he ended up being super nice. i've never been able to use it on clearance before (i didn't even know it was possible until kurpee mentioned it).. i grabbed stuff that i thought was regular price so i was caught off-guard when they scanned up as clearance.

a perk of having DH with me - i had him do some VS returns for me with his ID. :c overlaf:

i also tried on the wool peacoat [express.com] in the tweed and purple and i noticed the tweed is almost completely polyester (only 10% wool) while the purple is half wool. it feels like a nicer material. i'm in between XS and S again but i would probably get XS for it to not look boxy.
I took up a shirt that isn't in clearance online. It turned out to be clearance in the store, so they wouldn't let me use the card. I felt lucky to be able to use multiple coupons. It appeared they weren't allowing more than one coupon previously. Everyone who arrived after me was in luck. laugh out loud My DH didn't have a problem using multiple cards. He checked out after me & happened to get the same manager I argued with. Well, I didn't exactly argue. I just stood my ground & told them they were incorrect.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Just got a $50 tory burch bday email. It stacked with the additional 25% sale items. Got 2 iphone covers for $8.40 shipped :whe e:.
Great deal! woot

Quote from kurips :
that's a great perk. we may be buying a car soon so i don't want to apply for it.

they have the ornaments we bought in store but only at 65% off. i only got 2 boxes because that's all they had. i'm thinking it's not enough.

the jason wu is fs but they don't match the scheme.
Which ornaments did you buy?

Quote from teenbean :
Debit gives FS too! But If you went to the store today and applied for the debit card, I don't think you will be able to order online until you have the actual card in hand. They do give you a temporary card# for use in-store. I just remember reading that someone on SD couldn't get the temporary # to work online.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into the debit card. FS is nice, but I don't want to get the CC. These girls talked me into getting an Express CC & I hadn't used one in years. Blush We had one for emergencies only. I'm going to hold Strong this time. Stick Out Tongue I do love my Express CC though probably too much. shake head

i know. i'm annoyed that it will be final sale if i order it. when i looked at it in store there were odd scrapes/scratches on some that made me 2nd guess my decision to buy it. i thought if the scrapes bothered me then, it would bother me a lot more if i ever took it somewhere, since it'd be bound to get even more scraped up.

i wish it were expandable. i'm worried if i order it now and it comes in banged up that i'm stuck with it. it used to show that it was available in store tho, and i don't see that anymore. i wonder why.

When does fast cash expire. Noticed people with it yesterday. That may be a factor.

i got 2 of these: http://www.target.com/p/10-piece-...edium_1_10

and 2 of these: http://www.target.com/p/10-piece-...vertical_1

that was all they had left that would make a cohesive tree.

+ a few fillers which i don't remember. i'm paranoid they won't fill up our tree, it's a thin 7' one. i may just reuse some of the ones we have, or leave the side that goes in the corner empty Teehee

eta:
or i may end up filling only the top half anyway because of the toddler. he'll be a lot taller next year and more destructive.

see above for my ornaments. the 70% off jason wu is still pricey for me laugh out loud i did think about it and almost justified that it's almost the same price as the cheap ornaments + shipping. (but of course more ornaments = less shipping charge per ornament, i was just trying to reason myself out)
