Gymboree Experts...please advise

[BonnieV]

I bought a bunch of zebra mod when it first came out. Now it's 20% off and gymbucks. Do I have to bring it all back with me to the store and return it and rebuy it or will they give me the 20% off and the gymbucks if I bring in my receipt?

Thanks,
Bonnie

I'm not an expert, but the price adjustment period is 14 days and Gymbucks can't be earned on previous purchases.

Well your answer is in several parts:
1) You have 14 days for a price adjustment from the time of purchase.
2) If you get a price adjustment, I don't think you are eligible for Gymbucks, because you are not re-buying, just getting an adjustment.
3) If you return the clothes, you can't re-buy it. They will be put in the back for 24 hours. (Some stores bend the rules though.) If the sizes and styles you want are still available, you can return your clothes and re-buy choosing from the inventory that is left in the store. I hope that makes sense!
4) One more thing; if you bought the zebra clothes during the 20% off sale a while back, they may not give you a PA even if it is less than 14 days (which I don't think it is).

I just did this exact thing. I didn't ask the clerk or tell them this is what I was doing, but I assumed that I would have to do it the way I did.

I shopped and bought everything again. I even had them look in the back for one of the shirts in the correct size.

Then I checked out and then did the return. The clerk suggested doing it as two transactions otherwise I would not get gymbucks for the part I returned.

In other words, say my total was $50 and I returned $50 worth of stuff. I would not get a gymbuck at all because my total was zero. But since they rang me up and I paid them, I got a gymbuck for the $50 I spent. Then they did the return as a separate transaction.

If they don't have everything in stock for you to buy it, you can buy it online and do the return at the store.

One thing to look out for when returning... you cannot earn Gymbucks when using a merchandisce credit and you cannot redeem them using a credit either.

have the 20% discount. No gymbucks. Of course I bought enough to earn 2 gymbucks on my own.. man do they suck you in... I can't wait to go back and get the green cordory jumper and shirt when it's on sale during gymbucks.

Thanks for your replies.

There is a reason people call it gymcrack. :) Everytime I buy at gymbo I swear I won't get sucked into the gymbucks again but I always do.

This was their best sale of the year, when COF combines with gymbucks.

Now that you have a girl, you will be hooked on Gymboree. :)
