I was able to buy a few gifts at 30% off and use my Gapcash. Walked out with 6 shirts for $32 incl tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1857054 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 18:53:00 +0000 Bao 1857054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I agree! Check out a kids consignment like once upon a child. </p> <p>We mostly just buy used, that's the only way I will buy pricey clothes like Gap. I plan on going to get LO1 a coat in a few weeks at the consignment store and they have all name brand coats around $15. She will only wear it to play in the snow so no need to spend too much :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856955 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 17:12:10 +0000 blackbird 1856955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try a TJ Maxx or Marshalls or Ross type of store. Or a Once Upon a Child. i always see TONS of small kids' winter coats for cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856949 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 17:07:46 +0000 shopaholic 1856949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Boo. That sucks. I've learned to pick and choose before, during, and after the Gap Cash stuff. You ARE actually allowed to mix the promo codes though, during GapCash. </p> <p>I did 3 separate transactions, used 3 separate GapCash codes, and 3 different rewards certificates online this morning. Kind of a pain, but it also let me use the Free Shipping as long as you spend over $50 pre-tax, pre-GapCash &amp; rewards. So I only spent ~$6 each transaction. Sucks on the Coat situation, but they'll probably come out with a new line right after GapCash ends and have like 30% or 40% off. I just use GapCash time to stock up on some basics, shoes (because those never go 1/2 off), and Sale stuff for next summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856718 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:42:04 +0000 HLK208 1856718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: darn!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856714 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:40:50 +0000 T-Mom 1856714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Aw, sorry, I only have Size 4/5... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856710 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:39:58 +0000 HLK208 1856710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: she fits in 2T/3T...wall me if you have anything! I'm thinking we could make last years 18-24 month work but probably not for the whole winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856702 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:37:57 +0000 T-Mom 1856702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even try to get Gap Cash any more.. if you are able to wait until November, there is usually a huge outerwear sale then. I got my DD's puffy coat for really cheap last year (what size is your DD)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856697 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:33:18 +0000 cheert16 1856697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ME TOO! I have a birthday code for 25% off so I figured I would use that and my Gap cash- but it wont work. (and it was cheaper just using the birthday code!!) I do have some Gap rewards- but I hate using them on things I buy online because I never know how their maternity stuff is going to fit. (obviously I am buying myself something- not my kid!!) :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856681 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:21:02 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1856681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I was really surprised because I know they usually pull back on sales during Gap Cash. I even bought swim stuff in the next size up, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856677 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:18:47 +0000 HLK208 1856677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: @sunny: I did! B doesn't fit into 6's or XS in that brand yet! </p> <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: nice!! </p> <p>@night cheese: I've bought winter coats from ON/Target/Costco and consignment in the past but I wanted to try gap first since I had the gap cash already. Before today I figured it would *sort of* be free if I bought it along with the other winter gear I needed to buy. I think I'll give the gap cash away rather than use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856670 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:16:01 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1856670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@night cheese: ON has great coats. That's where we always get ours. They outgrow them so fast anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856654 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:11:52 +0000 night cheese 1856654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not just get winter coats at Target or Old Navy? Or at a consignment shop or eBay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856630 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:59:48 +0000 MrsKoala 1856630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap cash is starting to feel like a really crappy scam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856627 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:59:05 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1856627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you all near a store? Ours still had the baby/toddler sale going on today and I used Gap Cash. Got 13 things for 90 bucks. Started buying ahead for the summer off the clearance rack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856551 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:29:39 +0000 sunny 1856551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: What Rainbow Sprinkles said! They had some down puffer ones that were for elementary school aged kids and I want to say they were $50??? I would call and check before you go though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856545 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:27:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1856545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$100 for a coat? You've got to check out Costco! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856490 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:08:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1856490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Yup - the cable knit sweater was a sale item! I didn't want to spend much more than the minimum $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856486 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:06:48 +0000 mrskc 1856486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: yeah, not too bad! Can you use it on sale items? I saw some jeans on sale that I'll get for DS. And maybe some polos for DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856420 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:40:06 +0000 immabeetoo 1856420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah i think gap cash is stupid. I would never pay that much for a coat wow! HVe you looked at thredup or eBay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856353 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:22:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1856353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Ok I didn't mind the $50 limit too much bc I had to spend $50 to get free shipping anyway. I ordered a bomber jacket and cable knit sweater for N for $55... so spent $33 after taxes and gap cash for two pieces of outerwear. That doesn't seem too bad. Also go through ebates for an additional 2% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856334 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:15:57 +0000 psw27 1856334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was noticing this... What a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856322 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:09:52 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1856322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: ughh too much fine print. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856319 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:08:19 +0000 mrskc 1856319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I think you have to spend $50 tho, right? It's $25 off $50. Ugh, I'm never doing gap cash again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856298 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:00:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1856298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea I think gap cash is a total marketing ploy - such a waste! I do have one $25 gap cash and I plan on using it to buy one $25 item, even full price it's technically "free" I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856291 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:54:56 +0000 sandy 1856291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never found gap cash to be worth it. I never like what's available when they run the promo and sizes are really limited. I've even ordered and then later get an email that my items aren't available in my size anymore - great, thanks! And it's for basics like jeans. I hate gap cash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856287 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:53:46 +0000 Smurfette 1856287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing is ever on sale during GAP cash. It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856272 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:49:32 +0000 mrskc 1856272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh, that's so annoying. I was just looking at their site because I have gap cash too. Of course nothing is on sale now. Stupid gap cash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856192 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:14:13 +0000 HLK208 1856192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: that's what I did but I don't need 5 items! Just 3! So it was like close to $300 and I thought it would be $125 off? But I really only saved $25 on his coat (it was $99 I think). But if I would have checked out yesterday, his coat was $25 less + 20% off all the coats and I could have used my CC rewards. They won't let you use gap cash and an additional promo code in the check out :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-gap-cash#post-1856177 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:04:26 +0000 aegie 1856177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do multiple checkouts. That's what I do. And yeah ... I feel like they have gap cash available when they're about to change out clothes for the next season so a week later, they have new cute things so you always feel like you could have spent your money better otherwise. </p>
