Question: What’s with all the Bonobos half price sales?
Credit to Yianni, Ryan, Cannon, and Michael for all sending in the style tips on these.
If it’s not completely obvious, Groupon and Living Social have plenty of competition. The half price deal market is swamped. There’s so many of these deal websites that it’s not all that inaccurate to use the term “butt-load” when describing their numbers, and same goes for the variety of businesses who take part. Even more appropriate since multiple markets have seen 1/2 price deals on colonics for sale. No joke. Here’s recent proof from Salt Lake City. (175 people bought a half priced colonic? Holy… C’mon citizens of the Beehive State. Get some fiber in your diet.)
Unlike a personal excavation, 1/2 off at Bonobos is actually something that you can look forward to using. There are two active offers right now, both of which will probably end sometime soon:
.
The junglecents Offer: $48.00 for $100 at Bonobos
This offer is being pushed by AskMen.com through the Mark Cuban backed junglecents. Like previous 1/2 off at Bonobos deals, you’ll get a code that goes in the gift certificate field. Not the promo code field. That’s key. More on that in a second. The credit is good for six months from date of purchase.
The BuyWithMe Offer: $45 for $90 at Bonobos
For three dollars less you’ll get $10 less at Bonobos. At first glance that doesn’t make much sense, but when you buy the deal you should get some sort of personalized link (a la Living Social.) Share it, and if three of your friends buy the deal, you allegedly get yours for free. The credit is good until 2/17/2012.
.
The Bottom Line:
These are initially a bit cheaper than the $60 for $120 deal that The Daily Hookup ran last month, but still… half off is half off. They seem to work the same way, meaning, you’ll get a gift certificate code. The promo code field is separate, and the code DAPPER seems to still be working for 20% off full price. If you’re a new customer, they’re still offering you $50 off $100 your first time through, and they give you a promo code for that. Can you stack a code with the deal? Word is that you can.
But a better question may be: How long will (or can) Bonobos keep doing this?
Full disclosure: Never heard of junglecents or BuyWithMe before these deals launched, and a deal hasn’t been purchased from this end to test them out. Leave your thoughts on the daily deal trend in the comments section…
Haven’t heard of the second offer but the first deal has been running on askmen for a while (sorry if I shouldn’t mention them on here)
That being said, somebody let us know if we can deal stack. I’ve never bought from them and the idea of using 240 dollars worth of stuff for for slightly less than 100 sounds crazy. plus maybe the 20% off code on top of that
I have already successfully used the jungle cents offer with the first time $50 off and it worked no problem.
Are they trying to prevent anyone from ever buying full price again?
Bonobos is clearing out it’s summer overstock, the fall line hasn’t been added to the site and the most popular pants are out of stock in the most common sizes.
You can stack as many gift certificates together as you want.
I combined the jungle cents g/c with the leftovers from my daily hookup
g/c.
You can also stack the $50 referral code with it as well.
If you want, use this link to create a new account and get $50 off your first
order:
http://www.bonobos.com/invite/mfil21549
Using that link, or any other $50 off referral code, plus the jungle cents
deal, gets you $150 worth of stuff for $48.
Not a bad deal, even with their clothes being a little priceier than
most.

Looks like you can order two of the junglecents deal.
I hope we don’t see an Indochino-like recession where coupons were plentiful and then disappeared altogether. I love my Bonobos but it’s not in my budget to buy them at full price. Every single pair I own has been purchased at some kind of discount, usually not less than 50% off retail.
Additionally, this survey claims to deposit $25 in Bonobos credit into your account upon completion. I gave it a shot, since it doesn’t ask any personal information (other than your Bonobos account name for deposit purposes). I guess I’ll update whether or not I receive it in a few days.

Can anyone else confirm that you can use two gift certificate codes at a time?
Anyone know where you use the code for the junglecents order? Only able to use the referral code and not the half off code.
This is a great point. That would not be fun. At all.
Where was the option to use the Junglecents code?
Absolutely. I’ve used two in one order before. You choose “gift certificate” as payment, and when that doesn’t cover the cost, it will ask you for a secondary form of payment, where you can again choose the “gift certificate” option and input a second (or third, or fourth..).
You would input the Junglecents code in the “gift certificate” box at checkout, not the “promo code” box, I think.
I completed the survey last week and did receive the $25 credit.
Sweet! Thanks.
Thats correct
May be an issue with the site. The gift certificate box doesnt show on the checkout page.
Don’t know if it is still working, but the code “Bananas” will get you 25% off your purchase. I stacked that with the Junglecents (purchased 2) and got a buttload of stuff for cheap.
Same here. When that last half-price deal on The Daily Hookup was on, I bought two of them and used both and a code on the same order to get one of the seersucker suits and a belt for $120 instead of the $325 they would have been without them.
You enter it in the “Gift Certificate Information” section of the payment and shipping screen.
I scored big on the recent 30% off sale items paying with DailyHookup GCs.
As far as I can tell, there’s no stacking of 20% off with the $50 off.

$40.50 for $90.. expires Monday 8/22/2011 at 11:59pm ET
Wait… 1/2 price deal sites have their own discount codes? My head is going to explode.
Looks like the survey is closed now 🙁
I checked the link earlier in the day and it was working, but was gonna save the survey for some downtime. Looks like the survey couldn’t wait.
Anybody know if there’s a similar one floating around somewhere?
Yup, just bought the $48 for $100 and combined it with the $50 code. $160 worth of goods and my checkout final amount is $10.
Correct — only 1 promo code per order is allowed
You have to select “pay with a gift certificate” before it shows up…
I’m with you Joe, I’m completely confused now. So, assuming I’m not a first-time customer, *what’s* the best way to buy, say a -choke- $88 tie that would go beautifully with the bitchin’ seersucker I got from their last promotion you showed us, happily.
I had $20 in free Groupon credit for a while. I feel like it’s discount Inception.
Groupon just sent me a $10 off code for signing up recently.
I would say do the $25 survey credit, buywithme $40.50 for $90, and then 20% code DAPPER.
You’d get $115 to spend; the tie would cost $70.40 of that ($88 with 20% discount).
You would then have $44.60 left, plus your tie, for a total of $40.50 out of pocket 🙂
You can’t use the first time purchaser $50 coupon with the BANANAS 20% coupon at the same time, but if you make it two separate transactions….
Ended up with $301 worth of garb for $109.80. Woo-hoo!
I’m already a little overwhelmed with the deal I got last month. Still haven’t used it. Maybe I should just rack up here and get them all. Would basically be my clothes budget for the rest of the year though. Ah!
There is also a code AXPINTRO, which gives $25 off of $75.
Sorry AXPINTRO. it is only good for 1 use per account, but perfect if you only want 1 pair of pants, an $88 pair equates to 29%off.
Just got three pair in from this deal. They make my best fitting pants look like sweat pants by comparison. I’d been hearing the chatter about Bonobos for a while and discounted it. But now I don’t foresee buying a different brand of pants for a very, very long time. Helps tremendously that I got 3 pair for $100 when all was said and done.
I’m curious how you were able to enter more than one code, I see no option along the rest of the checkout process for entering a second code after entering the first one. Thanks.
The answer is that one item is a code and the other is a gift certificate method of payment. So the JungleCents is a gift cert and I enter that in the payment method (you select the gift cert checkbox and a field appears for you to enter it).
BTW If you have more than one gift cert just pay with one and then continue checkout. It’ll say you have to pay the balance and will take you to the payment screen showing the remaining balance. You just select gift cert again.
Never mind, I must’ve scrolled past the “enter as gift certificate” post.
$35 for $70 worth of stuff at Bonobos. Use my link! http://livingsocial.com/deals/123669?ref=personalized-link-box-28083823&rpi=28083823
