If you join the rewards club and shop at JCP, you receive certificates in the mail for $ off. When you shop, pay attention to your receipt. There is an invitation to do a quick survey online, which will net you a coupon for 15% off. Wait for a sale and use a savings certificate. I use this technique to get $ 35 shoes for $ 6, and $ 40 wallets for $ 20. I also just bought the best bra I have ever owned at JCP. It was a $ 40 bra and I paid $ 16. Sometimes the store is a little cluttered with merchandise, and customers can be slobs who don’t pick up things they knock down, but other than that, I am a Penney’s shopper for life. Once a year they do this candy sale where you take a candy bar(free chocolate!) when you go in, and inside every wrapper is a coupon for x % off your total purchase. You can use it all day long. One of those candy bars has a prize, a $ 500 shopping spree. I won it a couple of years ago. Catalog orders can be delivered to your home or to the store. If you return something at the courtesy desk that you ordered online and it was delivered to your home, you don’t have to pay return shipping. If you are a rewards member, you will get emails and online offers of 15% to 60% off or free shipping almost every day. You can set the preferences if you don’t want to receive emails. I bought a panini maker(grill) yesterday and have used it twice already, I love it. You can use your JC Penney credit card at the hair salon. :)
