Save 25% Off Purchases of $150+ at J.Crew!

"Thanks!" to  many of you, including Wendy (in this post) who shared the following email & promotion from J.Crew.

J.Crew is offering 25% off purchases of $150+ with promotional code SHOPNOW. This offer expires October 30, 2013. The fine print includes:

Offer valid in J.Crew stores and at jcrew.com from October 21, 2013, 12:01am ET through October 30, 2013, 11:59pm ET on purchases of $150 or more before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Offer not valid in the 769 Madison Avenue store, Liquor Store, Ludlow Shops, J.Crew Factory stores, at jcrewfactory.com or on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash or used in combination with any other offer. Offer not valid on wedding gowns, women's leather apparel, select women's outerwear, select Collection styles, babies' merchandise, men's footwear, men's Ludlow suiting and Ludlow outerwear, Wallace & Barnes merchandise, High Line merchandise or third-party branded merchandise. In-store discount automatically applied at the register. To redeem online, enter code SHOPNOW in the promo code box at checkout. Offer valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Terms of offer are subject to change. 

I think it is great that this promotion is running both stores and online. Although I am curious if stores will still be offering an additional percent off their Sale merchandise. As of yesterday, it was 40% off Final Sale. Curious if it will stay the same, reduce to 20% off, or removed altogether.

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? Do you know if your local store is offering an additional percent off Sale merchandise? If so, please share!
