Here is it for your reference. *Free shipping offer expires at 11:59 pm ET on Wednesday, October 8, 2008. This offer is valid on Internet orders shipped via Regular Shipping (4 to 7 business days) to US and Canadian addresses only. Offer is not valid on telephone orders. This offer cannot be combined with any other promotion. Previous purchases are not eligible for this discount. Merchandise total must be $100 before shipping, handling and taxes are added. I am really surprised that J.Crew is expecting that. I always thought free shipping codes were sent out to shoppers so that they would frequent the a retailer's website more often. Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks advertised their free shipping codes directly on the homepage of their websites. Zappos.com has free shipping all the time. J.Crew should get a clue. If they want to be nitpicky about who uses free shipping codes and when, I am not even sure why they are sending emails out about them. The fine print in J.Crew’s free shipping emails does not say anything about using a coupon code twice.
