How the Express Tiered Sales have changed

Express Sale:  $15 off $30, $30 off $100, $60 off $200 with code 1605*

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)
Sizes are still available for the lighter shades

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
Great color. Desperately needs a shirt under it.

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
Nice. But $9.50 nice?

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…
