Why isn’t my gratis code applying?

Gratis code will not apply for the following reasons:

Excluded or out of stock items in your cart

• TOP GRATIS TIP: adding items to your cart before the gratis period will NOT reserve them for you. If an item goes out of stock before you submit your gratis order, you will not be able to order it.

Gratis period hasn’t started yet

• The Spring 2025 gratis codes are active from April 1 at 12 AM (Pacific) through April 15 at 11:59 PM (Pacific). No exceptions will be made for late orders.

Code is inputted incorrectly

• Gratis codes must be inputted exactly as you see them on your gratis letter, including the dashes (XXXX-XXX-XXX)

Code has already been used

• Gratis codes may be used once only, even if you do not reach the $500 maximum. You will not be issued a new code if your order is returned to the warehouse.

Can I use my employee discount code to pay for items excluded from gratis on the same order?

No, gorgeous. Only one promotion code may be applied per order. Items excluded from gratis are able to be purchased with your employee discount code, but you must submit a separate order.
