I don't have time to mess with this kind of stuff, so I've decided just to go to the nearby BR Factory store whenever they advertise a sale and just shop there. Same with Gap and ON. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508988 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 17:51:14 +0000 kellygirl 1508988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BR sales are a guessing game. I never know until I put it in my cart and apply the code. Sometime I don't even bother because I assume whatever I like is not on sale. What really drives me batty is how their on line sale prices do not match the in store prices. I don't make it to the mall very often but when I do, I rarely buy anything because the item is on sale on line but not in store. Ugh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508985 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 17:41:28 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1508985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's happening in particular, you're expecting a discount but it doesn't work on certain items? I know that BR has a category of 'smart picks' or something along those lines, that don't qualify for most of the sales. I do think it's lame and can lead to more aggravation from customers than is worth it.</p> <p>I personally have bought very few items from BR in the last year or two. They used to be one of my go-tos but their items just haven't ticked my boxes recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508979 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 16:14:45 +0000 Helena 1508979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that's happened to me too, in store actually ... a table of shorts on sale EXCEPT for the color I selected ... *sigh* ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508974 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 15:40:02 +0000 fathenry 1508974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I guess sloan pants are just not a discount item </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508925 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 12:01:35 +0000 Eliza 1508925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is confusing. On a more positive note, I have ordered on line and when the item has gone on sale or there is a higher percentage off code, BR will apply it if you call (of course, the specific item must be eligible for the sale). That is where the confusion lies for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508918 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 11:04:48 +0000 Anonymous 1508918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. &nbsp;I finally assumed that everything I liked was not on sale. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508887 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 04:38:58 +0000 Debbie 1508887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your not crazy. There sale codes drive me crazy. You never know what is on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-republic-advertising---do-you-find-it-misleading#post-1508884 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 03:58:29 +0000 fathenry 1508884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not normally a huge online shopper but I've been trying to capture some of the recent sales. I'm curious if anyone else ever runs into issues with the BR sale codes?&nbsp;I don't expect to do anything about it,&nbsp;I just want validation that I'm not totally crazy!&nbsp;</p>
