Anthro Shopping Card?

boobaby · Kate Spade

My understanding is it's like a membership card and the only plus is the free shipping. It tracks your purchases. Maybe it will expand someday.
I think you get them in store.

member · Hermes

I have one. You have to sign up in the store. So far, the only perk I've seen is the free shipping, which is nice, since their shipping prices are ridiculous. When I signed up, they told me it would track my purchases, allow me to return w/o a receipt, and I'd be the first to hear about sales, etc, but so far I haven't seen any of those benefits. I tried to return something w/o the receipt w/the Anthro card and they couldn't even find the purchase on my card. I'm hoping when they work out the glitches, it will be better, but for now, the free shipping is worth it. It's free to sign up for and it's just a membership card - not a credit card. HTH!

Elle · Hermes

Thank you! Their shipping prices are what usually prevent me from even checking out their site. I think I'd definitely put in an order here and there if the shipping was free!

Might have to truck down to my nearest one and sign up next week ....

NCshopper · Hermes

Good to know! I might have to have my mom pick a card up for me, since the nearest Anthro is 3 hours away.

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

Is it possible to sign up online? I'm in the same boat as you NCShopper because my nearest anthro is 3 hours away.

gingembre1 · Kate Spade

Dang...I signed up for the card, but they didn't tell me about the free shipping! I think I threw the card away...

luckylily · Gucci

Oh, I'll have to check that out!

I often find things I love on sale on the site late in the season, but the shipping cost prevents me from buying.

I did it the other day and it took about 3 days to get my card in the mail. I'm totally excited for free shipping!

I got the card a month (or so) ago and they didn't tell me about the free shipping either. Boo. And I went to a store without the card and they couldn't find me in the system. It does come in a cute little card bag with a drawstring top. I've put all my "store" cards in it (Sephora, Ulta, etc.).

Good to know about the free shipping. I have an Anthro giftcard burning a hole in my wallet but I've been waiting until I can find time to go to the store. I have one in town but I can only go when I'm feeling very strong mentally and not susceptible to the allure of over-priced goods. It's hard to find times like those.

NCshopper · Hermes

Thanks for the link, Choo! I signed up and hopefully it's now on the way. This is really exciting because the shipping costs at Anthro can be completely insane and that's what usually prevents me from ordering more stuff there. Yay!

Elle · Hermes

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Thanks for the link, Choo!

Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! I am signing up now.

jaymiek · Coach

thanks for the link, ilovechoo. I just signed up.

Elle · Hermes

Okay, so I got my confirmation email with my number in it and it says to link it to your Anthro account. I went to the website and all through my account info and didn't see anywhere to put the number

. Am I blind?

luckylily · Gucci

Enter your account through the email they sent you w/ your Anthro number. I think if you click through the email it takes you through the process of connecting them; there isn't any other place to enter your number.

That worked for me anyway!
