Gymbo outlets...

[Heather98012]

Ok, since we're all sharing tips about TCP outlets, Crazy8 Crazy cash, etc. Here's something I learned a few weeks ago that you may or may not know.

You can now earn Gymbucks AT THE GYMBOREE OUTLETS! You have to redeem them in regular Gymbo stores (or online), but you can earn them there.

I haven't purchased anything because the deals in the past weren't that great, but when I head up there today to to to TCP, I'll check the Gymbo store as well. Some people have also said that the quality isn't as good as regular Gymbo, but I have no idea about that. I'll let you know after I go, if you want. Anyway....just had to share the Gymbucks news with my peeps! :D

That is good to know...wonder when they started that?

I think it is hit or miss with their quality, you have to pay attention to the seams and decals.

[Heather98012]

I think this is the first time. In fact the sales associate at the regular Gymbo didn't know that when I told her & had to call to confirm. She was totally surprised!

oh how I wish I had a gymbo outlet nearby.

[mom2juliarose]

We have a Gymbo outlet 2 miles away from us. I was SO excited to read this on another board!

[crunchierthanthou]

okay. I misspoke. apparently there is now one in the outlet mall 45 minutes away. how did I not know that?!

You can earn Gymbucks several times a year. Here's the deal: During Gymbucks earning periods, for every $50 you spend you get $25 in Gymbucks. Then, typically a month or so later, you have the Gymbucks redemption time frame (a few weeks usually) where you then use the $25 Gymbuck off of a $50 or more purchase. So, in essence, you get $100 worth of clothing at $75 (but spread out over two different purchases). It's pretty sweet, TBH!!

I went to the outlets today, but only had a little bit of time. I didn't make it to the Gymbo store, but will try & go tomorrow when DD is in preschool! I did some damage at TCP, though! ;)

spend $50, get gymbucks for $25 off of a $50 purchase during redemption

Do you have to have their credit card to apply for this?

Oh heck no! I use my Amex & get 1% back (or my Visa for miles). I don't have Gymbo's Visa....I don't really care enough to get it.

Yall both have it a little bit wrong.
Heather is right that during Gymbuck earning you earn $25 in Gymbucks for every $50 you spend.
But, during redemption you must spend $50 out of pocket to be able to redeem the $25 Gymbuck. So you are getting $75 of clothes for $50. But when you look at the big picture and add your earning $$ spent and the redemption $$ spent you have to spend a total of $100 out of pocket to get $25 worth of free clothes.
I do better price wise buy buying on sale and with a coupon than I do during GBR.

:yeahthat:
if gymbucks falls around an EOS sale, i do very well but usually i just end up with 1 or 2 gymbucks...i try and stick to the 40%+ off stuff that way in the end i'm not paying more at gymboree than i would at target:thumbsup:.
it took me a bit to find a groove. i was so afraid of gymboree in the beginning:p.

the outlet is great but the quality is not quite as good as in store. they get remakes of the previous years lines which is really nice if you're trying to match up something you had bought the year before:thumbsup:.
we went in today and they had skirts from the tennis match line 2 for $14.99,
also found some summer dresses for $12.99-16.99.
no where near as good of a deal as TCP but still a good deal

That really sucks. I thought the sales lady said that you get $25 off of a $50 purchase during redemption. I have not looked at my gymbucks very carefully though. I don't have an additional $50 dollars to spend. I was happy that I could get money but I am not really saving money that way.

[Heather98012]

Flutie, I've seen people selling them online if you don't want to use it. You probably won't get $25 for it, but you might get some cash. Heck lemme know if you want to sell it!

And aaggghhh...now I don't know where my most current Gymbuck is! (Off to tear apart my desk...) :thumbsdown:

No, this is wrong. At redemption it is $25 off a $50 purchase. It ends up being half off if you can hit the price points exactly.

No, during redemption you buy $50 worth but only pay $25.

So basically:

purchase #1: spend $50, get a $25 gymbuck = $50 of clothing for $50
purchase #2: spend $25 cash + $25 gymbuck = $50 of clothing for $25

so your total outlay is $75 for $100 worth of clothing.

With that said, I usually do better buying on sale with a coupon too. :thumbsup:
