the A-LIST *aerie card*

[dealiah]

IT"S BAAACK! Aerie has decided to reintroduce the A-list card. Last promo was for 6 months; they have now put it in place for one year.

Every month you get a free gift! Free Gift!! The only catch is, it HAS TO be on a THURSDAY. It can be ANY Thursday, but MUST be a Thursday. (And I have tried to get it on other days, to no avail, so no need to try that.)

AND, on the day you pick up your gift, you also get 20% OFF YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE THAT DAY. Good deal. = ADDENDUM: this had changed, sadly, and discount may vary, if even available at all.


There are a few locations around Toronto:
- Upper Canada Mall (Newmarket)
- Toronto Eaton Centre (downtown)
- Fairview Mall (North York; not Kitchener)
- Conestoga Mall (Kitchener-ish; in Waterloo)
- White Oaks Mall (London)

- THERE ARE MORE NOW (will try to update further)

Supposedly 4 locations in Ottawa, ON
and one in Burnaby, BC.
(If anyone can confirm their locations, I'll add 'em.

As far as I know, currently all the Cdn stores at the moment
are in Ontario. (maybe in Quebec too; possibly BC)


...and to whet the appetite, I'll tell you that this month's (Jan.09)
gift is a cute lil' polka dotted hardcover notebook.


THE REST OF THE GIFTS SINCE HAVE INCLUDED:
* lip gloss
* limited edition hand cream
* limited edition body spray
* a bright, neon floral tote bag
* little blue sports towel w/ a hair elastic
* floral post it notes
* sparkly misty body spray
* a NB drawstring backpack
* free undies (choice of 2 styles)
* makeup bag w/ set of brushes = THIS IS THE CURRENT


.
Enjoy.
.

[dealiah]

OHYA, almost forgot, you also get a free gift on your birthday.

Currently that would be one of their lip glosses.

You WILL need to show your ID, BTW; but can pick this up anytime
during your entire birthday month.

[meg2006]

How can i get this card? Link please?

[Justine]

hello smartcanuck, fancy seeing you here. :)

[RFD_fan]

How can i get this card? Link please?

You can pick it up at the store--you just need to fill out a little form. I think you might also need to have an AE card. This month's gift was a little hardcover notebook.

[stoppy]

Is this only at Aerie? Does the promo apply to American Eagle stores too?

[brutal]

TIme to sign up for a A-list aerie card, so I can start my hobby of collecting bras and panties

[heartsndanger]

thanks for the reminder! i shall go in tomorrow.. and the 20% off sounds good! too bad it'll be a good enough incentive for me to spend more..

[iris1026]

For the month of January, the Thursday gift is a notebook.
I didn't know that we get 20% off. I keep shopping on a non-Thursday. Shoot!

[dealiah]

BTW, No, you don't have to pay for it. You just go into the store and ask to sign up for the a-list card. It requires minimal information, and you get it then and there. Then each month they will punch out that you have rec'd your gift/discount.

And yes, you can use it at any location; doesn't have to be where you signed up for it.

[onexeyed]

The gifts are pretty sweet at Aerie. Lip gloss was last months.

I joined, and I got an email saying this is what you get with it: (It's actually called the AE All-Access Pass, if you're looking for it on the site,

Also a good card/program if you're a frequent shopper there, but that one you noted is a different program.

The A-LIST is for AERIE in-store only, and is good for monthly gifts and 20% discount on that day.

While the "all access" is for both brands and is used specifically as a cumulative points collection incentive program.

[dealiah]

Just so you know, there is an addendum to their program. NOW, to get the advantages of the a-list card from aerie, you have to sign up for the AE (American Eagle) All-Access Pass card.

This has just come into effect for this month, and will be a new "rule". As in NO exceptions! As in, probably there were too many ppl taking advantage???


BTW, there is a perfumed lotion to be had this month.


ADDENDUM - FROM PMs with others it seems that this may be only in effect at some locations; if anyone finds out otherwise, let the rest know. I can only attest to the fact that my friend was told exactly this when she went in...

[lindorz]

does anyone know what is this months gift??

[heartsndanger]

^ perfumed lotion as stated above.

[applecheeks]

Just wanted to give this a little bump because I think EVERYONE should know about it :)
AWESOME deal.

Does anyone know March's gift? I probably won't be able to make the trip tonight, but maybe next week! :)

[Kit]

I read on yahoo answer that its gonna be a tote/beach bag

[at826]

yep! checked it out today.. it is a beach bag... big and bright (neon yellow, pink and orange)

[applecheeks]

yep! checked it out today.. it is a beach bag... big and bright (neon yellow, pink and orange)

Sounds awesome :)
I'm excited to get mine.

[heartsndanger]

ohh cool. i hope i remember to get mine next week!

[Derringdo]

Do you have to sign up on a Thursday as well, or can you sign up any day?

[applecheeks]

Do you have to sign up on a Thursday as well, or can you sign up any day?

I think you can sign up anyday, but it makes most sense to go on a Thursday so you can claim your gift while you're at it :)

[Shiznacka]

does anyone know what is this months gift??

It's a floral shopping bag...kinda like a beach bag. My fiancee received it last night. Very Bam in your face...yellow with pink flowers.

[Nikita]

So am I correct in assuming you have to sign up in-store only, cuz I don't see anywhere on their website to sign up for the A-list card, only the All Access card?

[applecheeks]

Yes, you must sign-up in stores.

[Nikita]

Yes, you must sign-up in stores.

Thanks applecheeks. Looks like I'm SOL cuz we don't have an aerie store in Windsor, just AE...:(

[jfsabs]

This month's gift is a little bottle of body spray- i think its the abagail scent-
smells pretty good!

[stardustcross]

This month's gift is a little bottle of body spray- i think its the abagail scent-
smells pretty good!

I just got mine a few hours ago.

You're right, it's the Abigail scent. 60 ml!

Smells pretty nice. = ) I sprayed it on my co-workers lollll :twisted:

[FlutterDing]

I just signed up today and got my free gift.

Question - since I just started now, do the gifts from Jan-March carry over to next year? Like I get to use it one full year or do I just plain miss out on those ones and the card is done in December?

[virgostar]

i got mine today and it was just a lip gloss. :(

i should have double checked what they were giving out this month.

[dealiah]

It goes by the months listed, not by time as per when you picked it up.
So if you miss a few months, they're just gone.

[dealiah]

i got mine today and it was just a lip gloss. :(
i should have double checked what they were giving out this month.

There was something else a while back that they said at the store was a limited gift. Maybe some things just run out faster? Anyone else experience this? All I know is those neon flower bags sure didn't run out... LOL

[b1ue_wishes]

for those who dont know, the Aerie site has a link that tells u what freebie they'll be giving for the month.
so just check there, no need to ask:

http://www.ae.com/aerie/alist/index.jsp?WT.ac=AerieHPClickAList

[applecheeks]

Picked up this month's gift :)

It's a gym towel :)

[JennG]

I signed up while in TO yesterday. Got the towel. I then explained that I was from out of province and my bday was at the end of the month - so they gave me lipgloss for free as well for my bday. ;)

[dealiah]

Hey! Hey! Hey!
It is a new month,
so there is a new GIFT!

I'm in suspense till Thursday,
but wanted to remind all to go in and pick em up.

....and don't forget you get 20% off your entire purchase
when you pick up your a-list gift.

[spazzamatic]

i have a question. is the A list aerie card a different card then the american eagle card?

[Shiznacka]

i have a question. is the A list aerie card a different card then the american eagle card?

Yes.

The Aerie card works in the Aerie stores whereas the AE Points card is for all stores combined...I think, or maybe just AE

[dealiah]

i have a question. is the A list aerie card a different card then the american eagle card?

Yes, they ARE different. I think you'll find the info if you scroll through this thread...!

IN SHORT, A-list is aerie ONLY and offers monthly/birthday gift and 20% discount.
AE card is necessary now to utilize the A-list offer however.
And those AE points are separate.

[JennG]

I googled and the June gift is a sticky note pad. Shall grab mine today!

[heartsndanger]

awesome, thanks for the reminder:) im gonna get mine in between class!

[dealiah]

Has anyone picked up the post-its yet?
Can you actually write on them,
or is it just sticky floral paper?

Wondering if it's worth the trip...thx.

[JennG]

It is a little pad with various size post its. My 14 year old was quite happy to snag them.

[wintermint]

For those who got the post-its, which location did you go to?

At Fairview's aerie last Thursday, they said the "GIFT" was 10% off your purchase. I asked them specifically about the post-its, and they said, no the gift is 10% off. Not even the usual 20%. Lame.

Last month, Fairview also "ran out" of gifts.

[mimishu1004]

They gave all the gifts out so far. Probably I will go there next thursday to see what happen then. If I have time. Hopefully, they will give other ones instead. :confused:

[QtBeBe_Angel]

Does anyone know which AE store in Vancouver that you can sign up for the A-List?

Lame is one way to put it * LOL *
And she was NOT cool about it either.
Ya, they seem to have lost all the good staff at that one...

That's a good idea to check back and see if they offer a filler.
Let us know if you do get anything (so we can all run over.)

[onexeyed]

I went the Eaton Center and got my 10% off today. They're having a sale on bras for $14.95 (regular price can run up to $40 each). The additional 10% applies to sale items too so not bad at all.

[spazzamatic]

It's the first thursday of the month! don't forget to get your present!

it's a bottle of summer mist! (7oz)
pretty cool gift =)

[JennG]

and even a choice of 4 scents. :)

[ceecee101]

i just signed up for the alist today, wish i signed up earlier! i always knew about it but never bothered =P

anyways i signed up at the fairview location today and the 10% off was teh gift. :P even though quite honestly i was already happy with it, plus teh staff were verryyy nice. but now after i came home and did some researching, i find out that the real gift was supposed to be that 7oz mist. i much rather have saved this months and gotten it at the eaton's centre or something :( oh well, next month! & not at the fairview location for sure seeing that they ran out only on the second thursday.

[supercanadian1]

great gift this month..I was expecting a much smaller bottle, but it was a full sized product!

[shopping_princess]

fairview "ran out of gifts" again. makes me so angry.

[junnemam]

fairview "ran out of gifts" again. makes me so angry.

Yes I was upset about this locations lack of free gifts too and only it being 10% off buh! hopefully next week will be better.

[shopping_princess]

i doubt they replenish the gifts if they really ran out. it's ********.

[LoneI2anger]

Does anyone know which AE store in Vancouver that you can sign up for the A-List?

i dont think there is an actual aerie store here, just aerie section within the american eagle store =/

[Pandashiho]

and even a choice of 4 scents. :)

You had a choice?
Apparently according to the fairview staff, we weren't allowed to choose.

I'm starting to really hate the aerie at fairview. Not only are they running out of the gifts during the second thursday, but they're also giving us bad attitude.
I think I'm going to the eaton centre's aerie from now on. -.-

[applecheeks]

Eaton's Centre's aerie is pretty good... but my FAVOURITE Aerie store is in London, ON... @ Whiteoaks Mall.

Best service ever...
My roomie and I used to go on the last Thurs of the month, and there would still be tons of freebies left! (Then again.. London is pretty bleh LOL and there's no one there..)

Agreed. The Eaton Centre Aerie is good but the London location is way better. White Oaks is dead on weekdays but only busy on weekends. You can walk into an Aerie on a weekday at White Oaks and be the only customer in the store for 20 minutes.

[Popular]

I have a 40% off Aerie stuff (in-store and online coupon) from my last period's All-Access Pass Points. If anyone's interested, please pm me.

Offer goes to the person that will buy the most (limit is $500)

Also, obviously this has to be someone in the same area as me: Vancouver, B.C. so that I don't have to mail it to them.

[spazzamatic]

New month ! New Gift! Dont forget!!

just thought i'd bump this soooooo all the laadies out there would remember =)

apparently it's a Gym bag.

niceee =)=)

[applecheeks]

Anyone pick it up yet?
From the picture, the bag looks kinda small and I don't know if it'd be practical for me...

[deedee286]

I signed up for the card and got my bag. The staff was friendly and did not try to get me to buy anything. The catch is you can only get the bag on Thursdays in August. Here is the link. http://www.ae.com/aerie/alist/index.jsp

[RFD_fan]

How big is the bag? Is it worth making a special trip to the mall?

[spazzamatic]

It's free! what kinda rfd-ers are youuuuuuu girlsssssss or guys?!? lol jk

Just grab it.
I plan on filling it up with the other aerie goodies and donate it during the holidays=)

the towels, post its and body mist are an awesome gift =P
whats better is, you can make someone else' day without hurting your own wallet =)

[l2lum]

I got the bag today from Eaton Centre. It's roughly 14"x19".

[junnemam]

Gots mines today @ Fairview :) Cute Bag!
Its nice that they have a line for No purchase, Freebie Only People :D

[lazy_prodigy]

Thanks for the reminder.

[dealiah]

BUMP for THURSDAY!

The bag IS worthwhile...if they have any left...
Good luck getting one girls.

[heartsndanger]

Ugh, I'm guessing Eatons' was sold out cause all they said was that "10% off" was today's freebie.

[ix3katz]

^ i just went to eaton today ... the shelves were empty..so no more gift
i went last week n they still had the gift on the shelves

[applecheeks]

Ugh, I'm guessing Eatons' was sold out cause all they said was that "10% off" was today's freebie.

Yeah, they are all gone! :(

They should really increase the stock on these items..

[sidseven]

I also went to the Eaton Centre yesterday and got nothing. The girl said that I could check back next week to see if there was another shipment, but I figure that is highly unlikely.

[rshaikh]

Hey,

I Just called the Fairview Mall location and its UNDERWEAR this month. lol
I dunno I'm new to this, so is it only Thursday that you can get the gift right?

[*.Radeyah.*]

[applecheeks]

[*.Radeyah.*]

YES!!!! That's my favourite.
I swear I'd rather get a free pair of panties than a gym bag and post-its :P

...and they won't run out ;)

[Mashi]

Anyone know if the offer is valid at Sherway?

[applecheeks]

Anyone know if the offer is valid at Sherway?

There is no aerie store in Sherway.

[dealiah]

hurah for thursdays!

Not only is it undies, but you get your choice of 2 different styles even.

For image, check here (bottom right):
http://www.ae.com/aerie/alist/index.jsp

AND true, as per comment above, at least this time they can't possibly run out LOL

[dealiah]

BTW, if you don't already HAVE a card, now is an excellent time to sign up:

aerie a-list coupon = take 15% off your entire purchase

...in aerie stores only...

http://www.ae.com/aerie/coupons/alist_coupon45.jsp?WT.ac=alistHPClickCoupon

and the fine print:
you must print this original coupon (no copies) and present it at an aerie store when you sign up for the alist to receive 15% off your entire aerie purchase. this coupon is valid for one time use now thru 9/19/09 in aerie stores only. not valid in AE stores, at ae.com or aerie.com. this coupon is not redeemable for cash, nor is it valid toward any previously purchased merchandise. discount applied to merchandise only prior to sales tax. offer's value will not be refunded on merchandise return. american eagle outfitters, inc. employees are not eligible for this offer. this coupon may not be combined with any other coupon, discount or promotional offer.

[applecheeks]

omg the thong is so cute :) gotta pick it up next week!

[deedee286]

The free gift is underwear, they have lots at the Toronto Eaton Centre. They have sizes small to x-large. They even put it in a bag for me with tissue paper at no charge (for those of you who live outside of Toronto you have to pay 5 cents for each bag at every store in Toronto).

cute!...they put your freebies in a bag as well @ Fairview never had to pay:D
I believe only plastic bags are 5cents not the paper bags:o

[wintermint]

YES!!!! That's my favourite.
I swear I'd rather get a free pair of panties than a gym bag and post-its :P

...and they won't run out ;)

Haha, that's so true! :lol: Finally they have something that you'll be guaranteed to get.. I've been denied my gifts the last 2 times I went so I stopped going for a few months.

[jfsabs]

They actually might run out!
I went to fairview, and they only had a box left of the boybrief style and sizes M and L left....I asked the cashier and she said yeah everyone always rushes in on the first Thursday of the month because they WILL run out.....the line up was ridioulous(for those getting alist gifts)!! I ended up also buying a pair of leggings because you didn't have to wait in the 30+ people lineup if you were buying something.

Oh I also picked up my birthday gift (you can go anytime during the month), its a nice lipgloss!

[wintermint]

Big surprise - they RAN OUT.

Geez. I went to Fairview at the end of the day (keep in mind this is the first day!), and they only had size XL in boybriefs. This is getting so ridiculous! :mad: When I left, they still had XS, M, L, XL in thongs.

[mimishu1004]

I got mine today, Small size. I saw there is still many left in the store.

[ld83]

I went to Fairview right before they closed last night and they only have XL in the boy shorts and they seemed to have quite a few thongs. As others have already said, I'm sure they are going to run out before the month is over.

Also picked up my birthday gift, I can't believe the lipgloss is worth 12.50!

[applecheeks]

At some locations, when they run out of gifts, they just give a free pair of panties from the counter (your pick).

[wintermint]

At some locations, when they run out of gifts, they just give a free pair of panties from the counter (your pick).

Which locations have you come across that offer this?

[ceecee101]

+1. at which locations? last time when i went to fairview, they just gave 10% off instead..

since two ppl said that by the end of the day last thursday they had some thongs left, i think i might have to go earlyish thusday to get one at the fairview location. hopefully they don't suddenly run out! i'm not going all the way to eaton's to get a pair of free undiess :P

[sidseven]

I went to the Eaton Centre this morning and they still have all sizes available. It seemed like they had a lot of underwear behind the counter. I got the boy briefs.

[moniquoi]

don't bother going to fairview. no sizes and they were giving me a hard time about not having my ae card with me.

[shopping_princess]

don't bother going to fairview. no sizes and they were giving me a hard time about not having my ae card with me.

fairview is the worst location to get gifts. double thumbs down.

[applecheeks]

+1. at which locations? last time when i went to fairview, they just gave 10% off instead..

White Oaks Mall in London, ON.

[Toronto.Gal]

Eaton centre had a TON on thursday. They only had the boy briefs, no thongs for this location.

[rshaikh]

So, my sis and i went to go get her September gift @ Fairview, they were finished. Lucky me, i went on the 1st Thursday. They offered 10% off on everything in the store. And then when we asked for the Bday gift, they had no more. :( So they offered another 20% offer. So that day wemshopped with 30% off! YAY!

[heartsndanger]

I went this past Thursday to the Eaton's location and they had plenty of both.

[rshaikh]

I just called, they said it's a makeup bag. Starts tommorow! :D

[dealiah]

I just called, they said it's a makeup bag. Starts tommorow! :D

Cool; thx for letting us know.

The trick now is to actually get one :rolleyes: LOL

[sidseven]

I picked it up yesterday from the Eaton Centre- there's a set of make-up brushes inside too!

[rshaikh]

It's very cute... and they had lots when i went on Thursday.

[ceecee101]

aw looked on the website it looks very cute this one. too bad i have midterms :( my next available thursday is next thursday, which is the third thursday. doubt fairview will have any left :(

if someone goes and picks one up at the end of the day this thursday would you mind posting around how much they have left? :)

[wintermint]

I went to Fairview today near closing time.. they still had a lot of gifts left! ;)

[hoangminh8]

I went to the Eaton Centre today and the gift for November is a little bottle of perfume. It retails for $15.50

[heartsndanger]

What does it smell like? More than one to choose from? Thanks.

[hoangminh8]

What does it smell like? More than one to choose from? Thanks.

It was decent. I got the Emma one which had a pink bow on top. My friend got one with a black bow. So I guess they were giving out more than one. We didnt get to pick, it was just given to us.

[dchan.alternative]

At the aerie in Waterloo (conestoga mall), you could choose which scent you wanted, but all the black-bow ones were gone by the time I got there. They have samples at the side (so you smell them all before choosing).
