Again the lovely Fee at MakeupSavvy pointed me in the direction of this promotion with her monthly magazine freebies post but me being me I wasn't happy with just £20 off.. I wanted more... so I'm hoping this will be of additional assistance to those of you that have already read Fee's post.
First up Elle Magazine are giving away a pre-loaded £20 gift card in Decembers issue which can be used online or in Kurt Geiger stores (not concessions) on any Kurt Geiger branded footwear. As soon as I heard of this offer I went out and bought three copies... obviously! As of right now I have only used one of the gift cards so I can't tell you for sure that it will allow me to use another at my address but I don't see any mention of that in the T&Cs and worst case scenario I would use it in store. The gift cards are valid for 12 months from activation (must be done online) so you have ages before you have to spend them. I am already planning on going out for more... The magazine costs £3.80 so in reality I'm saving £16.20 but it's valid against sale items PLUS.. the best deal is yet to come.
So I was looking on MoneySavingExpert.com (you can see the specific thread here) and people were talking about a "welcome" discount you can receive with your first order. Well... it would seem if you are spending more than £50 you are entitled to £20 off when using this welcome code (can be found here).
In short if you're smart you will spend £50, add your welcome promo code (knocking off £20) and THEN go to checkout, add your Elle Gift card code (knocking off £20) leaving you with just £10 + Postage (minimum £4) to pay! I feel this post has been a little maths intensive but in short anyone can save £40 on a pair of beautiful KG shoes as long as your spending a minimum of £50! There were a few pairs I had my eye on by the one pair I HAD to get first (in case the welcome code was only good for one go) were on £45 so I had to buy some hair clips (£8) to bump up the price... never the less I bought the below for just £17 inc. P+P and I am beyond happy with my purchase!
Miss KG "Adorn" shoes in pink. Were £70, down to £45 Can be purchased online here |
2 Pack of "Pyramid" Hair Slides - also available in gold and black £8 Can be purchased online here Even if this is all I manage to get I am really pleased! One thing I would mention for those that will no doubt wonder.. when I paid I checked out as a guest and wasn't made to register so I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to get the Welcome Discount Code again. Worst case I would use Lee's info and have it sent to my parents address or something.. I'll find away around it I'm sure but when I do I will let you know. If it works I will be buying up the rest of these magazines in my area. If they last for a year (from activation) they're an investment in my mind. When don't you want £20 at Kurt Geiger? Exactly! So for the second time in as many days, Thank you Fee for your fabulous post! It made my day! |
Ohhh will so be doing this now! Thanks for the tip :)

Wow! I'm gonna be buying some magazines ;) xx
ReplyDeletethankyou soo much for this post, made my first KG purchase today, can't wait to get them, i'll be buying at least one other magazine!!! Can't wait!!! xx
ReplyDeleteHiya! I got my Elle gift card today registered it and tried to use it online but can't find the promo code! I tried entering the two codes on my card but neither worked how do you apply the discount at the checkout? also so if it's your first time purchase over £50 you get an immediate discount of £20? even if you don't make an account? thanks!

Just tried to order and first I couldn't purchase my pair as it didn't work with the Elle offer (maybe because it was a sale item). I had an option of removing my shoes from shopping basket or removing the Elle discount code. Now when I try to type welcome code in, it says it's not valid. I guess they have realised their mistake and have made some changes. If any of you still succeeds with both codes could let us know?? I'm so disappointed:((
ReplyDeletelove the shoes... i love kurt geiger but bought a pair of boots form there quite recently so lucky i missed this offer :D
