So, last Wednesday, I got an email for Vans Family members saying “Early Access: 30% off site-wide.”
So, I placed an order for 2 gifts that I had been planning on ordering, but waited for a sale. Figuring that being a long-time member of the Vans family—this would mean the best discount. I’m a single parent on a tight budget—bargain shopping is vital to my life, especially during the holidays!!
Two days later, on Black Friday, I get another email stating: 30% off plus an additional 10% off for Vans Family members! Seriously?? I was originally planning on waiting until Black Friday to buy them, until I got the early access email!
Now for Cyber Monday, they are offering 40% off site-wide for everyone, AND they extended it an additional day!
So, in the grand scheme of things, waiting until now to order would have meant the largest discount, and being a Vans Fam member pretty much means nothing. Because I also keep getting emails saying I have a $15 voucher from the point rollover, yet when I try to find it in my account, it’s nowhere to be found. Super frustrated!!!
I logged in but it wasn’t site wide for me. The red shoes with white wave ultrarange was only 20% off even after trying to checkout.
Well that’s incredibly lame! What’s going on with their marketing? It’s either sitewide or it isn’t!
Thank you for posting this. I just scored a pair of customs for 49.95. Yay
Glad you could use it!
They actually gave me money back but yeah I thought so too
I know you probably didn’t know this, but please don’t use the word “gypped”; that derivation is a racial slur against Romanichal people (often referred to as “gypsies”) and implies that they are thieves.
Wow get a load of this gay retard
Edgy.
Another one
When I saw that title I was like “uh oh”… 😁
i am fine with it. the difference between (30% + 10%) and 40% is not that great. Plus you we able to maybe get your order in before the style/size you wanted sold out.
I’m well aware it’s not that much, however, going from 30-40% does add up quick. And I was ordering customs, which are more expensive on the front end, so every little bit helps.
And it’s not a post necessarily about how much money I ended up saving or missing out on saving—it’s more about their marketing and their advertising decisions, along with my frustration of getting multiple emails about my point reward, but not being able to find it when I went into my account!
you mean the difference between 37% and 40%. If you spent 1,000 on Sunday, you’d have saved $370, on Monday it would have been $400 savings – so a difference of $30 on $1000. I’m guessing you ordered a lot less than $1000.
I got 30% on Wednesday, and come Monday, the discount was 40%.
Go on chat and explain. I did the same earlier and they’re refunding me the difference. I.know that’s not really the point of your post, but you should be able to get some money back
Not me, outlet was buy 1 get 1 free all weekend
I have to agree. I wanted the Vans Authentic White ones and they weren’t on the SITE-WIDE sale, so I searched the web and found a store called Tilly’s and they had them for $18 less brand new.
Tilly’s, Zumez and Journeys are good places to find unique VANS They have exclusives sometimes. I shop all three every other week. Just to make sure I’m not missing anything
Yes. A few retailers have pulled that move. Good deal Friday. Better deal Monday. Pissed me off.
Yeah it’s a really shitty move imo!!!
Idk you can’t really complain lol: all in all you’re still getting discounts so just see it as a win. It’s not like they stole money from you which is what you imply in your title
Not at all what I’m implying. I’m expressing frustration over their marketing, and the fact that I kept getting this voucher email, yet it’s nowhere to be found.
Agree with you 100%.
Their best Black Friday deal is always on cyber Monday :) On the Dutch Vans site we got up to 50% off then +10% off and on cyber Monday + 20% off.
Well I know that now!
I think it’s so ridiculous for them to advertise it as “sitewide” and then exclude like 10 of the most popular styles. So misleading.
I had to place like 4 orders. Lame
I’ve been wearing Vans, and pretty much only Vans, for almost 30 years. I like less and less of their new shoes. The quality of their products is garbage now and as a company they are making some strange decisions. They are losing me.
