and let us know what happens over at Express NEXT headquarters.

i don't know! my older orders were all charged fine... but my latest orders from yesterday haven't posted to my account yet. it'd be weird for the adjustment to post before the charges post, right?

duly confused. Confused

i think so. i think i paid around $34 for both of my pairs (each) so that's even better. do you have to pay tax at amazon? we do now.. but if you don't then that makes it even better. Smilie
Order using Rewards with item that went OOS - 40 min on the phone. Top that went OOS w/ reward order was $9.99, so they credited my account with a $10 reward w/ an exp. date same as the rewards that were just dispensed. It took 2 people to do this Huh . For that order I paid $2.xx OOP, but after cancellation, I guess I paid nothing... so.... I got an extra $2 back? Scratchchin I'll have to check my CC account again.

Missing dress bonus points - it's showing on their end (she told me the points for the order, which did not match what I saw) and "according to calculations", which she did not share with me... my total does reflect bonus points even if they're not showing up. Stick Out Tongue She also said she had to see what dresses would qualify for the bonus (every single one of mine was Clearance), and when she came back on- that was not an issue - so Clearance dresses are supposed to count for the bonus.

Someone else's transaction - they're saying there were so many orders around black friday and Christmas that sometimes the system spit out duplicate order numbers. If someone returned something w/ a duplicate order number, it would go on the NEXT account of the first person to be given that order number. She removed those and left the errant credits that I acknowledged weren't mine Big Grin.

In-store transactions that didn't post to the NEXT account- quite literally none of my in-store trannys have recorded since I got the CC....I gave her my CC number and she saw some discrepancies. She will "research it" and email me back tomorrow how many points they're going to credit me. I have a lot of returns, so it could get messy Messed Up

All of this stuff is really good to know...thanks for sharing! It's nice to know that they were just willing to reissue the reward.

When the stacking was active, I placed an order for $225 using a 75/225 coupon and $150 in rewards. It went through fine. Total OOP was less than $5

Then, I placed a second order that was supposed to be for $6.86. Unfortunately, it kicked out my 30/75 coupon after I hit submit. I talked to a lady who SWORE the coupon has never applied, since she couldn't see it. I asked to talk to her supervisor, who at first told me that I was wrong. When I asked if I could cancel the order and they could just reissue the reward, they said no. Then, they said that they could make a note in my account to take $40 off my next purchase, if I called it in...so it would be like a reward I could only use online.

Eventually, I talked to supervisor into applying the coupon for 30/75 which should have been applied in the first place. She researched the $225 order I made and decided to take off the coupon in the second order, since she believed me.

I know K has had a few really bad experiences with express CS, which really sucks, but my experiences have never been anything but positive. They've always been extremely fair with me and have given me the outcome that I wanted. I'm glad I haven't had any bad experiences to spoil my opinion of them.

Their CS had been fixing my problem nicely until that last time. Its their order fulfillment that had been incompetent. It just came to the point that I guess they doubted me instead of their own system.

They had applied a kicked out coupon to me once, during the time they first started kicking coupons out. Everyone who called it in was assisted promptly, no questions asked. The next time it happened to me, they won't do it anymore. I think they realized how we are able to take advantage of it and they have become firmer about it, hence you had to be transferred to the supervisor and Juliet got denied. Would have been ok because you can cancel the order if it kills the deal, but the bad part is that you lose your coupon.

Have my DH & I been together too longer or what? We bought each other the same chocolate. The box/basket looked different, but they were the same chocolates. laugh out loud

but they're sooo comfy... maybe i need to try 7.5 in them. i might just need insoles in the right shoe. i think a lot of my shoes do this bc my left and right are different sizes... when i squeeze into smaller size this tends to happen. my flats yesterday were making a weird noise too. : (
That doesn't sound like the problem I had. Both of my shoes made that noise. I searched for a fix, but couldn't find anything. Unfortunately, I don't think changing sizes would help. I think it's how the shoes are made. Sadwalk I hope the new size in the pumps will solve your problem.

Hasn't started yet. His flight gets in any minute, but realistically, by the time he gets off the plane, to his car, and then to the wine bar, it will probably be an hour Smilie. That's fine, though!

It's not a particularly special place or anything...but it practically makes me cry when I think about the fact that he switched his flight to come back.

Also, he made reservations at one of the nicest restaurants in MN on Sunday, so I'll probably wear that lace express dress.

I'm so lucky...and so are you by the way you talk about DH! I love the fact that you got each other the same chocolate Smilie

Thanks for going into detail about this Smilie It's really helpful. I called about my missing dress points to the regular number and they said don't call back until the 20th. So I will wait til then and call the special number.

DBF bought me the ones from World Market and I made them today. They are okay. They smell better than they taste (to me).

They actually taste better cold than hot. They have some weird stale aftertaste or something strange to them to me.

Hm...in my case, adjustment had the same posted date as the order charge, but they were not charged to my card on the same day I placed the order. Who knows? Was it a tier that they gave back money? RC? SRC? GC? MC? That maybe you forgot about?

I just tried on Prabal Gurung For Target Dress w/ Full Skirt [target.com]. It is cute. It reminds me of a style the First Lady would wear. It is a nice thick material (poly). There are pockets on the side, which typically I do not like. However, I do not really mind on this dress. I am on the fence because I do not like high necklines, but I love the full skirt. Decisions, decisions.

Now I tried on Prabal Gurung For Target Ruffle Dress [target.com]. It is too long. I think it would look better with a nice contrasting belt--the same color as your shoes. It too has a high neckline. This is an easy decision...return!
