Several readers and followers on Twitter have alerted me to the changes that J.Crew have implemented to their student and teacher discount. In the image above, the 15% discount can be applied to EVERY J.Crew purchase. But not anymore!
J.Crew has changed it so that the discount can only be applied toward full price merchandise. That’s right! Sale items are no eligible for the discount
Here’s the response I received from online customer service:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the student/teacher discount program.
We have been delighted in providing this special discount for those of our customers living and working in the academic community, and look forward to continuing this service. As of May 1, 2009, however, the basis for determining qualifying orders has changed.
The education discount will continue to be applicable to all regularly priced and promotionally priced merchandise selected for purchase at our J.Crew retail stores, at jcrew.com, or via a phone call. Any merchandise that is sale or clearance-priced and ending in 99 cents, will not qualify for the additional 15% price reduction.
We hope you will continue to enjoy the ongoing, money-saving aspects of our student/teacher discount program, and we look forward to continuing its benefits to you during your active status in the academic community.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know by responding to this email at contactus@jcrew.com or calling a J.Crew Associate at 1-800-562-0258.
