Wonder if this is a closeout item? I don't see an expiration date listed on the coupon.
Thanks, Mommy Snacks!

I am not sure that this is a valid coupon. I tried to use this several months ago when it was posted on another site and the manager at the store told me that they had not carried body scrub in months. It had been discontinued and she did not think this was a valid coupon.
This coupon is from early 2009. The item is no longer available in stores.
i tried using this coupon before and they told me that they had discontinued the body scrub so i dont know if you will be able to even find the product in stores
I recently experienced problems with VS associates accepting coupons with no expiration date. Apparently their new policy is to only accept coupons with expiration dates, so be warned!
I was told by our local store manager that ANY VS coupon without an expiration date is a fraud and will not be accepted.
This is not a valid coupon. First this scent is not new, and the copyright date is 2008 (newer coupons have 2010 copyright).
People still sell these coupons on Ebay. I have gotten plenty of free lip glosses with the coupon that doesn't have an expiration date, for free beauty rush lip with any purchase, but I stopped using them in the summer, when I had more lip gloss than I will ever need. The last time I saw VS body scrub was at the semi annual sale LAST winter. I hate that they stopped making it, b/c it was THE BEST scrub!!
I was told at the Victoria's Secret in Mall of America just after Christmas that the lip item coupon was a fraud because when it prints it's got a cheetahmail address at the bottom of the page. She said anything with cheetahmail is fraudulent. Has anyone else heard this?
Shelly, now that I know for a fact is not true. All Bath and Body Works coupons and most Victoria's Secret coupons are hosted on cheetahmail.
That's what I was thinking. I could have sworn the B&BW coupons all went through that even the ones that are sent directly to my e-mail.
Shelly-I was at VS on the north side of the mall tonight and spent an hour digging through the bra and panty bins. At the checkout my coupon was rejected by a female employee with glasses and light brown hair because it had a CheetahMail address on the bottom. She said that CheetahMail copies VS's coupons. I was tired and had to quickly think about what to do. Since I only signed up for VS emails last month I didn't believe what she had told me, but realized that if it was true then VS obviously couldn't protect my email address, so I couldn't trust it to protect my credit card information. I left the store without buying anything.
After five minutes online when I got home I learned that CheetahMail is part of Experian, the credit bureau (not exactly a fraudulent organization), and CheetahMail does host VS’s email (just click the unsubscribe link in the email and look at the address on the page you are taken to). My guess is that the employees and saying this thinking that most people will just pay the $10 they were expecting to save.
I recently lost 30 pounds, and shopping at VS is a treat to myself for doing it. I haven’t decided yet if I will continue to shop at VS, or any Limited Brand store in the future. Regardless, I will be sending an email to Experian to let them know what happened. Treating your customers like dirt is one thing, but what she said is slander.
same thing happened when i try to use kohls $5 coupon(email sign up) At the checkout she said it is not kohls coupon it is fraud .
since the bottom of the page shows cheetahmail web adress, she said it suppose to be kohls.com,
there is now way it comes under kohls address at bottom.
when we sign up in kohls website, kohls will send coupon link, it takes us to cheetahmail, atleast workers should be aware of the coupons how it works when they sign up.
even the lady wasn't nice, It was embarrasing in front other people.
Julia, I didn't realize it but the e-mail from Kohl's surely does take you to cheetahmail. I just got one under my hubby's name and printed it out. I haven't had anyone complain at Kohl's but you can be sure the next time I go to Victoria's Secret with a coupon that they sent me and it goes through cheetahmail I'll be taking my laptop with and proving to them that THEIR company has the coupons printing through cheetahmail. It is so stupid that these corporations put out coupons that their local stores don't want to honor.
I've used quite a few coupons from cheetahmail and haven't had any issues BUT i do know for a fact that this line from victoria's secret has been discontinued for quite a while! And i also know that they are really strict on their "policies" but there are always ways around, you just have to get the right person!
Actually all the cheetamart coupons are frauds...I work at VS and they are not hosted by limited brands! What happens is that someone posts a link to the Valid coupon that VS sends out through emails and cheetamail copys them not having and expreration date, so everytime someone goes to there link, the receive money for that just like most websites.
I realized yesterday that the coupons for bath and body works are from cheetah mail. ive never had a problem with them though
Honey....when you say cheetamart do you mean cheetahmail?? I have an e-mail that I got from Bath & Body Works that when you click on the coupon to print it links to the web to a cheetahmail site to print the coupon. How is that fraudulent? I'm just trying to figure out where VS is coming from. Why would the B&BW coupons go through a site that is fraudulent?? Aren't B&BW & VS owned by the same company?
VSecret does not now or have they ever accepted ANY coupons without expiration dates. It IS corporate policy. PERIOD.
Now, if you're lucky enough to get a cashier who happens to not know any better, then all is good.
Do you guys take your entire email with you when you go into the store? I just cut around the edges of my coupons (which are all legit to the best of my knowledge) so, they can't see where they came from. If they were emailed to me by their company (VS) and they refused to accept them- you darn sure bet that I would be EXTREMELY persistant and ask for a manager. Usually if a store knows you will walk without making a purchase, they will give in and let you use the coupon. I agree with above comment, they should know their corporate policy, inside out and backwards. They should also STOP trying to make fools out of the very customers who are purchasing their OVER-PRICED chintzy clothing. I guarantee that if I put the words "PINK" on to a cheap $4.00 Walmart T- shirt and then jacked the price up to $39.50 there would be tons of people standing in line to buy it. What our society has become....Well, let's just say, it's a sad state of affairs.
For the record....I'm one of the MORONS that shop at these over-priced stores )VS, Aeropostale, Abercrombie, etc...) that basically sell junk for way too much $$$. Why?? Because I have a 12 yr. old screaming her head off for the crap!!!!
I've seen this happen before in many stores...
Fraudulent coupons on the internet have become prolific, and it's been a huge problem for individual retailers (and mainly cashiers) to deal w/ b/c they can't separate what is a real and what is a fake. The cashier is unlikely to know what company their corporation is using for e-mail marketing, but in this case, they should be informed.
Cheetahmail is in fact a company owned by Experian, and they deliver opt-in e-mail marketing services to clients. If you see the "cheetahmail" URL printed on the bottom of your e-mail, it's because the company that sent it is using CM's marketing services to send you that mail.
If the coupon doesn't work, it may in fact be expired (perhaps in the fine print?) OR if it was posted online somewhere it may not work b/c it is only intended to be used by a direct subscriber to the promotional e-mail as a bonus. Perhaps if more than one person uses that unique coupon, then it may become invalid?
Check the coupons source (in any event), and if you have a problem at check-out ask a manager to call corporate marketing and confirm the offer.
