Has anybody gotten an email or offer for Gap F&F sale. I believe it starts this week (apparently some people have gotten emails about it), but I haven't gotten any information or offers in my email, and the sales associate was tight lipped when I was in the store last week. I have always gotten discounts in the past, and do much of my shopping (for myself and the boys) there. Apparently they no longer consider me a friend.

I did get an email from my local Banana Republic, that if I was among the first 100 customers to respond I would get their F&F discount of 50% off up to five items in store (not including the new Mad Men line).

My store was "tight lipped" too. The SA told me she didn't have any invites when I asked. I know the past year or so they were only emailing cardholders and last time I know several who didn't get a code despite being silver card holders (me included).
If you're on FB, I'd "like" your local Gap stores page and check it in the next few days to see if they post anything. I know they sometimes post a copy of the generic in-store code/invite.

30% off..meh...they have this deal all the time. I never shop Gap with anything less than 30% off.

The SA at our Gap gave us 40% off invites last night, dates are the 14th through the 17th. She also said they'd be getting a bunch of new stuff in on Wednesday (tomorrow). I'm not a cardholder and didn't buy anything last night, so was surprised she gave me one.

Is there a F&F code for online?

Will it work online at Old Navy too???

I claimed it on FB but it doesn't show up, maybe not until the 14th??? I wanted to read the fine print.

There is an online code on mine, but it doesn't say anything about Old Navy, just about all of the Gap stores (Gap, GapBody, GapKids, babyGap, Gap Outlet, Gap Factory Store, online).

If I don't use it I will post back this weekend.

I got this too, but it's actually good until the 17th:

"Valid March 13, 2013 at 12:01 am PT through March 17, 2013 at 11:59 pm PT at Gap, GapBody, GapKids, babyGap, Gap Outlet, Gap Factory Store and online in the U.S. only (including Puerto Rico)

blah blah usual exclusions, blah blah. "

Good once online, multiple times in store.

For 40% F&F, you should receive a unique code.

I didn't get any email either and I get tons from gap and old navy...weird. Well if anyone has an extra 40 they aren't using I would love one as well! I'll remove this if I end up getting an email though or I'll share if someone has already gave me a code. TIA!

FYI. I got the email with the one time use code today (it says it's single use online, but you can use it multiple times in stores). But I just placed 2 separate orders with the same code.

Thank you so, so much for mentioning this, OP! I had $20 in reward certificates that I needed to use, so this was the perfect excuse to shop! With the 40% discount plus my rewards, I nearly cut my total in half!! :boogie: Such cute stuff too!

I got a generic 30% off code, GAPFRIENDS.

But I got a unique 25% off code for ON. Go figure.

krobbin
03-14-2013, 01:37 PM
**Edit** Got one, thanks.

I'll post my ON code anyway, I don't need it :)

I'd trade my $25 off $100 Old Navy code for a F&F 40% Gap code. I like Gap's nursing selection a lot better and that's what I need :)

I'm still on the look out for a 40% gap code if anyone has one they won't use.

I did not get any emails, which is aggravating considering I have a Gap Silver card. This has happened for other sales too. Perhaps I shop there TOO much already, lol.

I didn't get one for the last F & F sale , but I did this time. I think it was because I haven't spent any money there recently.

We have a Silver card too. I have one and DH has one. The F&F emails go to his email account. Probably because he was the main person that applied for the card?

I am the only cardholder, so it would have to go to my email address.

If you have GapSliver tell them to use "Silver40" for in store purchases.

Doesn't work for online I don't think, that has to be a unique code.

I just scored a ton of great T-shirts, it's been a long time since I shopped an Gap (besides GapKids of course). The Luxe Boatneck T's are amazing covering my MummyTummy- they were on sale for $15 at my store, then 40% on top with the F&F. Awesome!!!

Some finds!!

Eyelet Trim sweater
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?userSearchText=eyelet+sweater&pid=351155012

Cute bird print T
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8793&vid=1&pid=449975002

Neutral button up, with softer more forgiving cut (lurvely geometric print)
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=78054&vid=1&pid=352231042

Luxe Jersey Boatneck (lighter colors are a little sheer, but grey is great!!)
SUPER flattering over my 2nd baby tummy. Will be spring staple T, I bought 4 colors. These were $15 at my store before additonal % off.
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=349679082

There is a great striped LS t-shirt I can't find on line. It's two layers, so the drape is very flattering over bigger bust and bigger belly. Either grey/cream stripe or Navy/cream stripe. Cutest heart shapped elbow patches (Mini-Bodenesque)

FINALLY Gap is out of it's tissue thin Tshirts that cling to the belly. Those are terrible on me, and a large part of why I've been avoiding GapAdults for years. Yea!!

Would love to hear what everyone else is finding. I think I need to head back for round two and pick up a luxelight V neck sweater in bright blue.

I almost bought both of these, crazy cute and both in hair calf. BUT they are thin and not crazy comfortable. I need majorly comfy shoes, but dang it they're cute.

I placed my order online and most of it is for DD. My faves are:
Pink rain boots: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=6468&vid=1&pid=300436002
Smocked daisy sundress: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=78636&vid=1&pid=301788002
Ruffle shorts (bought in 3 different colors, lol): http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=35854&vid=1&pid=301708002
And my fave pants EVER for her, Littlest legging jeans: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=59446&vid=1&pid=180797002 <--They look like jeans, but the material is thinner (soft!) and I LOVE the elastic waistband. Awesome for my CDing, soon-to-be-PTing toddler! ;)

I'm planning on shopping in-store tomorrow! :D

For DS1, I got 2 pink polo shirts in 2 different styles. The pomegranate color is like a dark hot pink, the other one is more of a salmony pink with a hint of coral:
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=329080002
http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=329065022

For me I got a navy blue and off white Elastic Trim Tank. It's really soft and I like the cut: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=245422002

I pair my navy one with these girls navy polka dot shorts. The pink one is really cute too. I am size 2 with a larger behind and the 14 Plus size fits good. I think the measurements are the same as the regular size 18, but the crotch on the Plus size felt better: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=67219&vid=8&pid=426442002

I am also eyeing the other pair of girls printed canvas shorts for myself: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=67219&vid=1&pid=426356032

Such a good idea! I might go into a gap today and try this. Both so cute-- I especially like the printed ones. I always want to try kids clothes bc they are cheaper and sometimes cuter. OT, but are there any other stores that you have found that are good for buying in the girls department?

This blogger buys in the kid dept-she will also show when things don't fit well even though she's tiny, or explain if she had to (or would need to) alter them to make them acceptable:
For example- http://www.extrapetite.com/2013/03/borrowed-from-boys-zara-navy-wool.html
http://www.extrapetite.com/search?q=crewcuts (a few jcrew kids' items)

I also recently bought some gingham printed shorts from Old Navy (regular women's size 2). When I wore those, DH said the leg opening looks big on me and I agree. The leg opening on the Gap kids one looks better on me, it's a bit slimmer (but not tight at all), just more streamlined looking.

I've only recently been looking at kids clothes again because I lost a lot of weight. The last time I shopped for kids sized things was in college. Mini Boden has some nice things too. I think I'm a size 16 for the pants there.

This is where I found out about the Gap kids polka dot shorts. I was looking at her facebook page and she had tried them on in the store.

I really like when she explains why something doesn't fit well and shows how it fits after she makes the alterations. I've been inspired by her and I have a few shirts and maybe a knit skirt that I want to try and tailor myself.

Thanks for the extrapetite web site. She is far more stylish and creative than I will ever be, but its a fun site. I went to gap today, but they didn't have any size 16 in girls, and I could tell 14 wasn't gonna happen. I actually ended up not buying anything at all!
