Here’s more (potential) proof that costs and prices are going up. It wasn’t all that long ago that an Express tiered sale would start out at $15 off $30 with the next level being $30 off $75. Now? $30 off $100. A final cost of $45 vs. a final cost of $70 is a huge difference. And there’s a big catch:
*Sale/Clearance Purchases aren’t eligible for the discount.
Yep. So not only has the second level threshold gone up, you can’t use sale purchases towards it. For example:
.
Two Express Signature Polos – $23.99 TOTAL (after extra 40% off non code discount)
So this in and of itself is a great deal. Sizes are real tight on most of the colors, but just over $20 for two polos isn’t bad. You’d think this $23.99 would count towards the threshold. Not so though…
One Express Italian Merino Wool V-Neck – $69.90
No doubt, it’s one of the better v-necks out there. Tons of colors, the V dip isn’t too deep, they’re smooth, extremely easy to layer, and hold up pretty well over time. But the real value would come in if you could get just over $100, knock $30 off, then get this for retail and the rest of your purchases basically as a bonus…
One Pair of Striped Express Socks – $9.90
Ten bucks for one pair of socks is a lot. But it’s more of playing the game and getting this over the $100 threshold so you can drop it to $70 with the code 1605. And you’d think we’ve done it (23.99 + 69.90 + 9.90 = $103.79) but…
.
Just $15 was taken off the over $100 total. Not $30. The signature polos are on sale, and thus, not eligible for the discount. So instead of about $73, you’re closer to $90. Is that a great deal for two polos, a solid V-neck and a pair of socks? Maybe for some. But it’s certainly a shift away from how deep these tiered sales used to discount.
This most recent Express tiered sale and the code 1605 expires Sunday August 7th…
The physical coupons Express sends out in the mail have better discounts. I got some a few days ago that are $15 off of $30, $30 off of $75, or $40 off of $100. Unfortunately those can only be used once, unlike the online “promo codes” but it might be worth signing up for their mailing list to get the actual coupon cards. They only get sent out once every month, if that, anyway.
Indeed. I have one of those sitting right here. But being that the online codes used to have those same tiers… I wonder if it’s only a matter of time before they switch those out too? I think the Express postal mail list isn’t actually half bad. They don’t bombard you (like some retailers) and everything they send always has coupon cards in em’. Good suggestion for sure.
You could also get three sweaters for $168.94 after tax and shipping.
Glad that I went on a mad spending spree when their last clearance sale was active.
This is just what I was going to say. I bought 1MX shirts on the Buy1, Get 1 half off deal with a $30 off $75 coupon from the mail. It was just about two for one with that. I am thinking that the mail coupons don’t reach as many customers as the website does so they offer better deals through the mail so long as that better offer doesn’t get to as many people. Anyone who visits the site may use the ones there, but those who get the mailings and check get rewarded.
