But for the invitations, do you need an employee to give you one like at the gap (since they are the same company) or is there an online invitation available?

you have to get an employee to give you one, they aren't online (pretend you are their friend or something lol). However each invite has a code that you can use if you want to buy online

I just got the invite from one of my friend working there. The page has no web number and it said it can only be used in the regular store and factory store. It is 30% off anything, did not say if it is regular or sale item, but did say some items are excluded. Exchange is allowed for merchandise but only on same item. Exchange on different item will need to pay for the price difference. No price adjustment is allowed for previous purchase. No gift card purchase.
My friend said that last time it can be used for Gap but cannot confirmed if this time it can be used there as it did not say anything on the invite itself.

"Friends and Family Days Friday December 2 - Sunday December 4, 2005
Offer valid in the US only at the BR store, BR factory store or bananarepublic.com. The F&F discount cannot be combined with any other discount offer and applies to merchandise only not value of gift cards purchased, packaging, taxes or shipping and handling charges ... etc etc.
Reproductions or photocopies not be accepted. This offer is not transferable without the consent of BR."
PS. I know a few of you have asked me to get you a F&F invite, I'm working on getting some from a friend but we just haven't had time to meet up - sorry

No they won't. At least not at my location. This sale is exclusive, just for friends and family. It won't be like a Club Monaco "friends and family" where everyone who walks into the store gets a discount. The 30% off will ONLY be for the person whose name is on the card and it's non transferrable.

I just got back from the states. For those of you who live in Vancouver, head down towards seattle, get off on exit 201 at the Seattle Premium Outlet. There's a Banana Republic Outlet store there, that had 40% off entire stock, including items already marked downs for the Black Friday/Thanks Giving Weekend. I bought 2 marino wool sweathers for 20 USD, and 30 USD respectively, and another long sleeve for 25 USD. Girlfriend bought a marino wool turtle neck for 12 USD, plus bunch of tops all sub-20. The only thing i am not sure is, if the deal is still available for Monday. Call first before heading down.

Wow! Where did you get this info from? I asked a store clerk to give me an invite and they told me just to show up on the day of the sale and they'll be giving them out.
If the invite must have the purchaser's name on it, then there's no point for anyone asking for invites here because it's not transferrable.

It really depends on the cashier..
You get to keep the invite as it is "reuseable"
So they really don't need it for store records for each transaction.
Just ask nicely and they might let you get the discount.

I got this info direct from my manager. I work at BR. We got a bunch of invites and it's up to us to write the name of the person who we give the invite to.
And I'll be working on cash during the weekend for the sale most likely. :| I don't know how hardass they want us to be on cash.. but I'm sure I'll find out soon.
Yep the invite is reuseable throughout the whole weekend at any location.

Dec 1st, 2005, 03:22 AM
I'm gonna go and try to wing it.. see if I'm nice enough, maybe they'll give me the discount. Although I doubt they will, that's my only option at this point, good luck to the rest of you who don't have invites.
I was planning on buying a lot too.. most of the stuff I've been looking at and trying on is still on the shelf waiting for me to pick it up :lol:
oh well.. hopefully *crosses fingers*

I dropped by BR at eaton center yesterday, and I asked one of sales people for one. She told me that she has not got hers, and then she went up to ask her manager about it. She came back and told me that she will get some today, and I could go find her in store then she would give one to me.
Just talk to some sales associates, if you are lucky, you will get one from them. It seems managers are not giving those out since he specificly said that store does not give those out, but it is up to sales give to whomever they want.

I think it's already been established in this thread that that won't work.

Yea, I don't think this should be a deal anymore.. never really was a deal.
You'd have to be lucky to approach a sales rep who's nice enough to give you an invite. Most of them probably won't, from the ppl I've seen at the yorkdale location.

This weekend is the Old Navy (actually all week), the GAP and BR F&F sale. They are re-usable and transferable. I have all three cards so here I go shopping...
The discounts are as follows:
Old Navy: 20% off entire purchase
GAP: 30% off entire purchase and get $15 GC for every $75 spent
BR: 30% off entire purchase (so sales and regular priced)
I wish I had more than one of each to distribute. Thanks.

the 20% one WAS pretty much for everyone to use, you could print em off and use it time after time, unfortunately the deal expired Nov 30.
This is the F/F sale and its 30%.. you have to have the card and they don't give them away, its a real F/F sale unless you get someone really nice who will give one to you. shame.. DEAD deal. >:(

Try Bloor/Bay. It's a very low traffic location right now (because it's in the frickin' basement)... they should have tons of cards there. They're desperate for sales at the moment right now (because of said basement situation). However, they're going to be opening the main two floors all renovated, and it will be the flagship location. ETA sometime end of January?

Does anyone know if their wool coats are ever on sale?
Going to check out the BR at Yorkdale tmr. Was pondering whether to buy the coat now, or wait til boxing day. If I save maybe only $20 on the coat but risk the crowd, stress, and exhaustion from boxing day, I rather just buy it now.

If you want the grey 3/4 wool coat, I believe it is $138 on BR.com (US only)... might work if you have amerifriend.
I just got back from NY and bought a black one (same style as grey but in black, not on sale on BR.com) for basically US $112 because my friend + I both got something... it was 20% off $198... $160... and then spend $300 get $100 off (thanksgiving weekend)... sweet sweet deal.

Based on last year experience, the black 3/4 length wool coat was on sale for about $90+ a week or so after boxing day; and many sizes left. For some reason, nobody were interested to buy even when it's on sale at the mid-$100 range. The wool coat for this year is very similar (almost the same) as last year one, so we'll see what happens.

I just got back from BR. It was ok. Picked up a Dress Shirt and a Sweater. i wanted the sweater in red but there weren't any more medium sizes so I got the black. I might try another BR just to see if i have better luck finding more sale items that are in my size

The BR 3/4 wool coats were on sale, 20% just a few weeks ago...plus they had a stackable discount on top of that:
Only From Nov. 19 - 27
Spend $150 - $299 = $30 off
$300- $449 = $75 off
$450+ = $150 off.
So if you reached $450, that was another 33% off ($150)...making for a slightly better deal than F&F on the wool coats.
I've got all 3 cards (ON, GAP & BR) thanks to my wife (she's an avid shopper who's made contacts with the managers/staff at all three stores)

awesome site - its my first post.
I just came back from an extended lunch and went to BR with my discount card. Got a couple of bags of goodies. Might have to go back again tomorrow.
What you should keep in mind though is that after this weekend, the stores normally start dropping prices anyways - sometimes better than the 30%.

Just got back from BR. The sales clerk who told me to just drop by on the weekend to get the 30% off honored her promise. Yay! That said, I didn't see anything I like so I just got a casual shirt ($115 - 30% + tax is $92!!!). Will go back with gf on the weekend to see if she finds anything she likes. I might return this shirt too now that I had some time to try it on.... Looks too gay.

No they won't. At least not at my location. This sale is exclusive, just for friends and family. It won't be like a Club Monaco "friends and family" where everyone who walks into the store gets a discount. The 30% off will ONLY be for the person whose name is on the card and it's non transferrable.
So I wouldn't worry about this, I went to the Market Mall store in Calgary and they barely even look at the card, half the people in the store had the invite anyways.
The sales clerk even gave it back to me (you are supposed to get it back to use anytime/any BR store the whole weekend) - BUT she said "here take the invite back in case you want to give it to a friend or someone"

Oh and so I found a couple dress shirts:
regular price $125, on sale for $44.99 - 30% = $31.50
and
regular price $150, on sale for $64.99 - 30% = $45.50

Heya, where did you get your card from? Do you still have your extra? I might drop by Market Mall this weekend to check it out.
Anything interesting that's not made out of wool/cashmere?
Thanks.

There are no signs indicating that the FF is on? The only way to get the discount is to show the card?

d'euh... that's why it's F&F, obviously there won't be any signs. unlike F&F at other stores, it is worth it here, because you are basically getting the employee discount, since employees get only 30% off sale price items (50% off reg price, but who buys things at regular price, unless it is a franchise piece like a classic suit which rarely goes on sale)
dress shirts are of good value for this -- a lot of them are on sale right now, and there are some great designs. boxers are also on heavy sale, you could get a good pair for $7 w/ this discount. there are some jeans for $30-something, some decent wool pants, some wool coats, etc.

I got it from a friend that works at BR. The extra's are gone. And the one i have used *Might* (not sure yet) be picked up by another RFD'er so he can use it. If he doesn't pick it up, you can have it - I'm done, I've spent enough there already

They were somewhat strict with the Invitation Card @ Pacific Center Mall.
I had to ring in my own purchases including my friends purchases since it had to go under my name.
Altogether the Invitation Card saved about $120!
Sweet deal!
Picked up a coat for $140 (originally $300 but was on sale for $200) and a shirt for $35 (originally $95 but was on sale for $50).
I'm gonna go again tomorrow for some great deals.
I should have gone on Friday for more selections however I was lucky since the coat that I had bought was the very last size available anywhere probably.
Damn went shopping again with the 30% off coupon...

Just came back from the Bayview Village BR. Just talked to a sales rep and asked about the F&F 30% off.
He asked me if I had an invite, I said NO
He asked if I had a friend working at BR, I said "No, but can you be my friend?"
He just reached in his pocket and gave me an invite.
Got the gray/blue plaid wool blazer/coat
some shirts and wool vnecks
Spent about $350 for $450 worth of stuff.

BR employees are not commissioned. The "was anyone helping you today" is just for shifts and meeting sales targets. Managers tend to favour people who have sold more (yes, employees are told exact dollar amounts), and will give those employees more shifts.
