Half off at Park & Bond… through Gilt City?

Gilt City Deal: $40 for $80 at Park & Bond

Credit will become available on Nov. 1st and must be used by Nov. 30th.  Thanks to Antonio for the style tip. 

This gets a little complicated, maybe even a tad incestuous, so hang on to your hats here:

  • Most of you know this, but Gilt is a daily timed-sale retail site
  • They also have a Groupon-like site called “Gilt City”
  • Gilt City often runs national deals, so you can use them on the web and not have to live in that location
  • Gilt launched a full price store called Park & Bond a few months back
  • Gilt’s current Gilt City deal is for $80 in credit at their full retail Park & Bond

Got that?

So after launching their full price retail sale, Gilt has gone ahead and used one of their own platforms to promote Park & Bond and essentially give you half off any combination of stuff that’s $80.

Add on top of that the fact that you can get 20% off your first Gilt City purchase by signing up through a friend’s referral link (here’s the Dappered one if you need it) and you could get an $80 credit for $32.  In theory.  Here’s one combination that seems appealing for $32:

The Filson Hat, Tie Bar, & not one but two Pocket Squares – $79.00 pre credit
Yes, we're aware this isn't to scale.

The hat itself is a deal if you’re looking for something other than a watch cap to keep your head warm.  It has ear flaps, just enough brim, and it’s made in the USA.  Same goes for the pocket squares.  The Tie Bar is a tiny 1″.

But does this deal mean anything more?  Is this an in-house attempt to jump-start Park & Bond?  Or is it doing just fine on its own and that speculation is over analyzing a simple promotion?   Leave your take in the comments below.

Like other Gilt referrals, there’s a bounty.  A sign up to Gilt City through a referral link rewards the link provider with 20% off their next Gilt City purchase (pretty sure it doesn’t stack.)  But I can’t remember the last time I bought anything from Gilt City.  So to those who might think this post was motivated by that, it wasn’t.

  1. I purchased it and I think we have to wait until Nov/1 for it to be credited to our Gilt account as credit before we can use it.

  3. Didn’t see that you have to wait until Nov 1st to use the credit…P&B has free shipping now, it would suck if that promotion ended before then.

  4. I think they’ve had that free shipping for a “limited time” thing up on their site since they launched a few months back.  Agreed though.  If they yank it over the weekend, not cool.

  5. I was wondering why there’s only one suggestion, but now I realize it: It’s tough to find stuff under $80. Damn, that site is expensive.

  6. I emailed P&B about the free shipping, they just replied saying it’s going on until December 🙂

  8. hey joe can  do a post on brown vs black leather i wanna go black because its safe but brown is more stylish i assuming can u do one please
