Attention all Shoppers

This is great...I think we'll do that when my mother in law is here. But, I do have one question - why 11%? It's an odd amount. Not that I'm complaining, just curious.

I was thinking the same thing...they should have made it a nice round number like 50% lol

How long has this discount been around for? My fiancee was here in the U.S. last month and we did shop briefly in Macy's, so we could've used this.

I found out about it a couple of years ago. Not sure when it started though.

Misa, I think you take your passport to customer service but I'll find out for sure. Maybe Kez or G&A will stop back in to answer, though.

A couple of years ago? That's how long it's been around? Wow.

That just goes to show you how often I go shopping in a department store. I hate to reinforce the "male stereotype of shopping," but my idea of going to the mall is heading to EB Games or The Sharper Image.

It doesn't really matter, though. As it turns out, my fiancee told me that we bought stuff at JC Penny since they had what she was looking for and at better overall prices. I didn't even know we bought stuff at JC Penny! When did this happen?! I have some vague memory of shopping for clothing, but otherwise, it's all fuzzy.

According to my fiancee, we actually looked in JC Penny, Macy's, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and a whole slew of smaller stores as well. What's really funny -- besides the fact that I don't seem to fully remember any of this -- is that even though this was the second time she had ever been to the Houston Galleria (which is a huge shopping mall; one of the largest in the entire U.S.), she knew her entire way around the place! I get lost every single time I go in there and this is my home city! I've been here my entire life, so I've definitely been to this mall more than twice!

Just for the record, my fiancee is not a "shopping fanatic" nor does she ever spend "tons of money." However, I suppose none of that changes the fact that she has far more experience in the areas of "shopping and mall navigation." I suppose it's better than both of us getting lost; then we'd never find our way around when shopping!

I use it all the time I need anything from Macys.... I just got a whole load of stuff in the sale that was reduced by 25% and then you get the 11 % on top so total saving off the original price is 36%..... you have got to love macys....

Happy shopping

Actually, that isn't quite true. Based on the implications of what you said, the total discount would be something less. Let's say for example you wanted to buy an item that orignally was $100, reduced to $75. When you take 11% discount of that you will pay $66.75. So, the net discount off the original price is 33.25%.

A minor difference (2.75%) but technically accurate for the engineer in me who has to make the money to spend.

Don't mean to rain on your parade here. Feel free to resume your shopping fantasies.

That sounds exactly like my husband and I.... only the reverse. He knows all the shops and I just tag along looking at the scenery. We're always having those "you-remember-that-store.... that's-where-we-got-the-thingamabob" conversations. Meanwhile I'm totally clueless.

Dang...i WISH i had the tagging along problem...the only thing that tags along with me at the mall is the million shopping bags that follow me. I am sick in the head
