Anyone redeem the JCP $50 code for the patio debacle?

[marymoo86]

Why am I being an idiot and can't get this to work???

I put in the ONLY4U but it will not accept it in the promo code to bring up a validation where I can enter the unique number.

Doesn't take it in the rewards side either.

[jvs195]

I had no trouble using mine (Got an Ergo Rapido for $38 shipped). I entered in promo and it popped up that I needed a unique code to redeem so I entered that. You might have a browser issue or need to contact them by phone.

[marymoo86]

Helps to enter the correct code first - ONLY4YOU

not enough coffee yet - thanks for making me reread!!

[nanoo]

I was just going to post as well-- curious what everyone got for their $50??

[Momit]

I scoured another recent thread about what to buy at JC Penney and bought 3 pairs of Made for Life pants, one Made for Life shirt, a pair of Isotoner slippers and a scarf. I think I ended up spending $13 including tax and shipping.

I bought a new pair of Nike running shoes for my half marathon in 2 weeks!!!
I had ordered them and they sent me a cancellation notice so I ordered them in a different color from Sports Authority since I still needed shoes. The day the SA ones were set to come the JCP pair came too, so obviously they didn't cancel my order. Now I have 2 pairs and it will cost me $6 to sent the SA ones back...grrrr!

[keckert]

I'm so mad, I actually got the code in the mail and threw it away! :(

[KLD313]

I had a hard time spending it but I just got a bunch of stuff on clearance, a robe, slippers, two purses and a soap dispenser. I don't really like any of it but it was basically free so i'll deal.

[marymoo86]

Got the Little Tikes cozy coupe for DD -11.54 shipped! missed out on the target clearance so this was good option!

[crayonblue]

I got a set of queen sized sheets. So far we really like.

[amybds]

Socks for me and DH (I know, super boring) and two packages of Tazo Awake K-cups. None of it a great deal, but only spent $6 out of pocket and it was stuff I needed. (or at least really wanted, for the K-cups)

[♥ms.pacman♥]

i am struggling to find out what to get with my $50. stuff i need (Stride Rite shoes for DS, early walker mary janes for DD, Brooks running shoes for me) are not sold at JCP (i never shop there, so i don't know what kind of stuff they sell). And my kids do NOT need any more clothes right now, so i'm stuck there.

[wellyes]

I'm trying to find something too.

eBates is 6% for JCP right now.

[crunchy]

These will still be good after Feb 1st, right?

I'm waiting until then to see the price of the running shoes I've been eyeing. JcPenney is supposedly doing away with "sales" in favor of lowering all of their prices permanently. It makes sense, since I never pay full price for anything there, knowing it will be on sale eventually.

eta: yup, good through April 28, 2012. :)

Are there free shipping when using the code?

No, the code specifically says not valid with other codes.

[iaam]

I got five Melissa & Doug puzzles for a total of exactly $50! So, just paid $6 in S&H.

[vball4all]

Ooooh, awesome! Thanks for the heads' up on free shipping over $50- glad they joined the bandwagon on that! I was actually thinking of ordering a knife sharpener (Chef's Choice).... we've been needing one, and though it'll be more expensive than Amazon, with the code it's cheaper than Amazon.

I agree on the not needing clothes thing- for myself or the kids. ;)

[JBsmom]

The code takes off 49.99 (not an even $50), and charges $6 for the 1 cent purchase. grrrrr. Evidently, it has to be $50 AFTER the discount for free shipping. So frustrating- got my cart to a perfect $50, hoping not to have to pay for shipping. It looks like they are taxing shipping as well. I shouldn't have to pay 36 cents taz on my penny order!

[csmolu78]

I ended up getting a little tikes outdoor table for about $16. Pretty much the same deal as the original! LOL

Is the code considered a "coupon" or is it considered a "Gift card"?

[legaleagle]

I think whether shipping is taxed has to do with your state laws, not JCP trying to screw you!

good to know- thanks!

Which table did you get? The one I see online is $100

[csmolu78]

It's gone now, of course... I ordered it a couple of weeks ago...

[infomama]

I got some curtains and they were awful so I ended up returning them. Sucks because not only did I end up empty handed..I had to pay for shipping on those things which I didn't get back.

[Sidney]

I had a super hard time finding anything. And every time I did find something decent, it was out of stock. I ended up buying two pairs of jeans for my son and a bunch of underwear for me. Yay.

[jerigirl]

I just ordered the Hamilton Beach slow cooker that everyone here recommends. I got it for $6.49 after tax and shipping. It would have been free if I shipped to the store but that is a PITB with DS2.
