How do you get express coupons through the mail? A very nice stylethreader sent me one awhile back for 30$ off a purchase of $75. Do you have to have a credit card with them to get these coupons?

I have an Express credit card and I get those coupons all the time. I think they only mail them to cardholders. Sometimes, though, they put them in your bag when you shop there, but they are never as much as $30 off - usually only $10. If you're interested in getting the good coupons in the mail, get a card there.

actually i used to get $15 off any purchase coupons quite regularly. it was when i was in college and wasn't much of an express shopper so i would just get panties, but ever since i got a CC there i have never seen another coupon. kinda makes me mad now that i think about it!

hey, me too! i've had their card for years, but i haven't gotten a single coupon in probably 4 years. i will buy something there every once in a while (definitely not regularly, so must months i don't even get a statement from them), but i would go in there much more regularly if i had a coupon to use. my whole issue with that store is that it is overpriced for what it is, but if i could buy it for a lower price point, i probably would.

I had an express card for years and its been a good year to year in a half since I got any coupons in the mail so I'm not sure if getting their CC will help any.

i have their CC. i get coupons all the time. i just got a 25% off entire purchase. that was a good one. i spend some $$ there tho. maybe the more you spend, the more coupons you get.

Maybe that's how it works - I spend a lot there, so I usually get a lot of coupons. I just got that 25% off one too. And I got a $20 off $75 purchase one too. For you girls w/Express credit cards, you should call and complain.

It seems different for everyone..

I never got a coupon before a few years ago..

Then I got a CC and get tons of coupons all the time!

Same here!

I forgot to say that when they ask for my phone number I always gove it when I'm purchasing.....That's another way they track your spending, hence the more times you give it when you shop the more coupons......at least that's been my experience.

BTW: i NEVER have any probs w/ telemarketers either.

Yeah about a year ago Express decided that only card holders would get coupons, then they decided they wouldn't really give coupons and it would only be like gift with purchase but now you basically get the coupons how Carmen said by giving your phone number and not a cell phone number at check out and it actually tracks your purchases to try to cater the coupons towards you

I have an platinum Express card and never have gotten a coupon in the mail. However one of my old roommates, who never even had an Express card, would get them all the time. It used to make me really mad because here I was spending all this money there as well as being a cardholder, and she gets the coupons.
