Discount Code Showdown: The Battle Begins!

7.25.2009

The economy has been pinching everyone, myself not excluded. So it's no surprise that many of us are on the hunt for a bargain, whether it comes in the form of cash back, rewards points, free shipping, discounts, or even freebies with your purchase. Lately many of us have become accustomed to scores of deals as retailers try to boost sales with a wide range of incentives. But are some ready to scale back?

It looks like Juicy is putting the squeeze on retailers. After unsuccessfully trying to redeem a code at RevolveClothing.com and then inquiring about it, I got this e-mail:

Hi there,

Thank you for your inquiry. I do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Unfortunately, a number of designers have been added to our list of restricted brands earlier this year, including Juicy Couture, J Brand, Kicking Mule, Alexander Wang, and Preen. I am very sorry for the inconvenience but due to a manufacturer's request, we are not allow to apply any discounts/coupons on any of our restricted brands. If we would like to continue doing business with these designers, we must abide by their policies. We are very sorry for any confusion. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Please feel free to contact us if there is anything else I may further assist you with. Thank you for your interest in Revolve Clothing. We appreciate your business!

Regards,
Customer Service
RevolveClothing.com

Could this be a lame attempt by Juicy to boost sales at their own boutiques, which rarely ever offer a discount? Even the sales that they put out are lukewarm -- you're lucky if you find 5 pieces of jewelry on sale at any given time. Whatever the reason, it looks like the list of places where you can get charms at a discount has narrowed by 1.

Are Juicy Couture charms worth $50 a pop? Rarely, and the ones that are are often priced higher than that! I'm disappointed, and Revolve is in danger of losing more customers with every brand that is cut from their discount list.

So where can you still redeem discount codes? ShirleyAndCompany.com, ShopBellaBeach.com, MeringueBoutique.com, and ShopRapunzels.com. Bookmark RetailMeNot.com -- that's the best site to find discount codes if you don't have the time to ask around.
