JC Penny USED to be one of my favorite stores to shop at. I always was sent coupons in the mail or I could find coupons online. Our family could always find something we needed at a great price. Last year they made some changes that I feel were a huge mistake. No more coupons less sales etc...... So I had stopped shopping there. Then a few months ago all the customers were sent a email saying they had listened to them and were going back to the old way of doing things.
About a month ago I was sent a online promotion that was for $10 off any purchase. (no minimum about had to be spent) I ended up ordering my daughter some flip flops she needed. I was able to get 5-6 pairs out of pocket for about $6. Great deal right? I waited about 2 weeks because I had ordered them site to store. Then I got this in my email from JCPenny-
At jcpenney, we always want you to have the best. The recent $10 off $10 MORE2BUY
coupon you received was part of that intent. However, that offer was
designed for one-time use only. We will honor the $10 off your first
order but any subsequent orders placed using this discount will be
canceled. We apologize for any confusion and invite you to take
advantage of all the great offers currently available at jcp.com. Come
back and see what's new and enjoy 10% off your next online purchase (use
promo code 10MAY at checkout), May 14 through May 20, 2013. Thank you for shopping with us, and we look forward to serving you in the future.
Let me just say I had never used this code before. I am not a scam artist nor would I try to use this code more than one time. So they canceled my order and I never got the flip flops for my daughter. Even though it said they would honor $10 off my order. Why did they bother sending me the promotion if I could not use it? The charge was refunded to my credit card but let me just say after all the hassle I will most likely not be shopping at the store again.
Last week they had a article on Yahoo-JCPenny marks up prices, just to mark them down again (as do most stores as many people know about retail)
