Thanks for the great answers. I can totally understand saying "Im not sure" but you have to know this lady she was definately lying. Because she confirmed the sale just said they didnt have anything when they indeed had a whole backroom full. But anyhoo I dont let bad apples like that ruin my Gymbo experience Ive just learned not to depend on her for info. Was just curious since so many others had this issue if it was something company driven or what so your answer makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the p-a-p info. Man I want a 50% so bad LOL

I guess I wasnt really clear on my gymbuck ? I guess what I should have said was when does GBE end? Will it still be going on during the PAP promo? But Im sure I can look that up Im just lazy so dont mind me lol

Yes I saw the email thing on the advertising flyer...do you think each email will get a different one or will it be like everyone who signs up for that will get a 20% off code ect? I was wondering about that. I made all my family sign up just in case.
Oh And for anyone who hasnt signed up yet it said you have to be signed up before June 2

Thanks for answering our ?s and joining our forum!

I heard there was a pap coupon in the latest issue of American baby magazine. Is that true? Is that why people are already selling pap coupons on ebay or are these some that leeked out through employees?

I was also wondering if there is ever any special promos for Gymbo visa card holders. I have heard there were some in the past but nothing since I signed up 6 months ago. I still enjoy my extra discount and gift card rewards though.

Thanks!

Oh, it'll be on. Current end-dates for Gymbuck issuance are July 13th in-store, July 7 online. So we'll still be issuing through PAP, BRB, and 4th of July sale.

We are distributing coupons through a number of venues, and I'm not sure I can name them. American Baby is owned by Parents, which we just signed to do more business with, so that could well be. Seems silly to buy a coupon online we'll give away free in-store, though (I giggled hard when I saw people buying the Circle of Friends ones on eBay).

Visa. Several times a year we offer double-discount for Gymboree Visa cardholders (so an additional 10% off on top of every other promo, instead of the usual 5%). The best part about GV is it's the only discount that can be combined with other discounts.

We have some new ideas kicking around for GV cardholders, too, but probably won't see action till 2009. Stay tuned.

Follow up: PAP does include an online code.

It does mention on the website that if you join the email list, "Win an online prize in your inbox on June 4th".

The PAP you receive in the store (the physical cards) can be used online or in-store, BUT it's a one-time use code. The good news is you can get one PAP card per day per location (so if you're close to a few stores, like here in CA, you're in luck!).

The PAP you receive from Gymboree.com cannot be used in-store. It's good only online.

I am a Gymboree newbie. I usually purchase clearance online (why pay more than I have to?). When does (did) the winter jackets clearance out?

My IL's took forever to mail out my sons birthday gifts. The gifts were Gymbo items he did not like. The store gave me a hassle because I returned the merchandise a week before the 6th month. The manager was snotty and said "Geesh! I do not know if I can sell this. IT IS SO OLD!". Who do I contact about this situation? Let's face it. I have other clothing alternatives for my child.

I found out the merchandise credit can not be used online. Why? Will Gymboree implement such feature in the near future?
