Good news, everyone! I shared the news with you about the new PINK Nation from Victoria's Secret yesterday. I was contacted by one of their reps today, and she gave me the scoop on what the exclusive FREE offer is!
Everyone who registers from now until March 10th will receive a coupon good for a FREE tote (no purchase required) and $10 off a $35 purchase!!!
If you already printed a coupon yesterday, just login to your account and you'll be able to print the updated version of it that has two barcodes at the bottom.
Tara Kuczykowski is a married mom of three boys and two girls, ages 2 to 8 years, living in Columbus, OH.

I can do everything except print the coupon. All I get is a blank page every time I try. Anyone else with this problem. I thought I had finally accessed the site properly but then could not print the coupon.
I Love This!!!
I have no comment at this point. After reading everyone else's comment it sounds like this is difficult.
OK I give up - I guess it is impossible to sign up to PINK Nation
Would love a pink tote and other stuff!!
I would like to first say thank you for the information about the
free gift I had a lot of trouble getting into the website but after another
try today I finally got in and was able to print the coupon. I started my
quest 03/01/09 and was sucessful 03/02/09. Ladies patience is our
queen so happy hunting.
I would like to speak to the VS Rep that you spoke with. I went to the store this afternoon and they told me that it was the same 10z lotion that was the coupon that expired today, after the coupon went to a bunch of sales people and eventually to the manager. They sure were not going to offer me a tote at all. I kept the coupon but I did use the $10 purchase one. I called the customer service number and after some holding on the phone while she researched the issue, she came back and verified that it was only the 1 oz lotion. Feels like kind of a rip off considering that I could have gotten that without joining. My daughter has a virtual slew of friends at the university she is in, not to mention, at other schools and on-line that she could have raved about this to. Seems like a lost opportunity for them to not have their act together better at VS.
I got lucky, mine printed fine on my first try a few minutes ago. Now to see if I can get the free gift!
I just registered a couple of minutes ago and it printed off no problem. I'm anxious to see what will happen at the store now!

I printed the coupon and went there today and had no problem with the free tote. It is really nice
DSM, I hope you can relay to your rep at VS what a letdown this promotion has turned out to be. Why would they promote traffic to a website that apparently wasn't ready AND not educate their managers or sales associates about a promotion designed to bring customers into the store? What a missed opportunity to bring interest to PINK, without frustrating those who signed up, printed out (for those of us that could), and made a special trip only to be told they have no idea what to do with the gift coupon we gave them, and we have no answer or recourse because the coupon doesn't say what its for!! Isn't this something like the definition of madness? :)
I was able to sign up and print my coupon on the first try. Now I will go to VS tomorrow to see if I can get the tote. Wish me luck
is there anyway for those of us that cant get signed up or are having coupon probs for someone that did get it to work to scan their coupons or save the web link or do a screen shot and save it somewhere? i have been trying since we first heard about it and have had no luck, same with my sister
Thank you for printing this offer. I just went and signed up and printed my 2 coupons. Now To find a Victoria Secrets in my area. Too bad they printed my name on the coupon and are asking for photo ID. I was planning to give the coupons to my daughter in Boston. Judie
My sister and I both went to get our totes today. The person at the desk had never seen it, but her boss had at least heard about the offer and after a couple minutes of waiting for them to go in back to check, the woman came back with 2 different totes to choose from. My sister also took advantage of that $10 off coupon included! For a change...we got lucky.
The reason why no one heard about it is bc it just started today.
I went to a VS the other day for this and had to wait a bit for the cashier to find the totes... but the cashiers looked at the coupon and because of the wording of the coupon, they said I had to use both coupons to get the free tote :(
I just wanted to let you know that I just discovered your website and absolutely love it and have been able to collect tons of freebies in the past couple of days!
The tote bag that they are giving are the viynl ones that come in pink/white, white/pink, green/white, and also navy blue if you are lucky and they have not gotten their stock in they substitue it for the more expensive tote bags in the store such as the bling ones. I had a great expereince with pink nation as they even have used the pink nation $10 of $35 on normal and sales items and not just pink items. Often times they do not look at your id.
cat you are not required to use both coupons. You can only use one if you would like.
I just printed my coupon and it did not have my name on it. Do you think I will have a problem getting my bag or do you know what I may need to do to get my name to print on the coupon?
The coupon part that you cut off on mine doesn't have my name on it, so I don't know how they'd verify it anyhow. I'm pretty sure they'll still give it to you.
I went to my local store and they had no idea what I was talking about and tried to say the coupon was a fake. I called customer service and they said their going to send me my tote :)
My Victoria's Secret is giving out a mesh bag with their new Pink body care line. It has a lotion, body wash, refresher spray and lip butter. It says a $25.00 value. I had no problems! Thanks for the tip!
I know that most or all the malls in MN are just giving out a tote bag. Amanda that is so awsome that you got all the other pink body care items as well with yours
I went to my local areostple store today and the tank tops are very limited and the guy said he only got 20 in the store and only in one size. So if you ladies have not gotten yours do get one soon
I took the coupon today at victoria secret at lakewood mall and they were all aware of the promo. I got a pink tote bag. It comes in four colors: blue, pink, white and green. It really works. It took me several attempts though before I was able to register to the Pink nation website and get my coupon. Just keep on trying.
I tried this today in the SLO VS and they had no clue what I was talking about either. The clerk just read back the 10 dollar off coupon to me like I was an idiot and that was it.
it worked for me just fine the first time, and I printed 3 coupons. I wenti in Wednesday and I got a really big pink tote bag as the free gift. It is thin and the material reminds of an old windsuit or a parachute. haha, and I used the coupon too. I got 5 pair of panties, a 12oz. pump bottle of Pink lotion, and the tote for $28. I went back today and did 3 seprate transactions, I got another tote, this time I got a navy one with Pink 86 all over it. I didn't have to buy anything to get it. I had a coupon for 20% off entire purchase and got 5 panties. the new perfect one bra, and Pink flip flops for $64!! I had another coupon for free lip gloss with purchase, so I got a bottle of body splash for 75% off, I paid $2.41 for body splash and lip gloss!! I plan to use the third Pink Nation coupon in Hilton Head next week. I am hoping they have a differant freebie, but I am very happy with it!!!
You should look into Aerie, by American Eagle. It's basically the same as Victoria's Secret's Pink and they've been giving away free gifts for quite some time now. I think that the whole Pink Nation thing started in response to Aerie's A-List. The girls that work there are much nicer, and they actually know what's going on with their freebies and promotions. Plus, they don't really hassle you about buying things. I've gone in a few times just to pick up the free gift and they're really friendly about it. This month they're giving away a beach tote, no purchase necessary. They usually have pretty good deals that go along with it, like certain bras are only $20 or you get 20% off your purchase (with no minimum either). Last month it was a full size thing of hand lotion, 20% off, and when I went they were also giving away a thing of lipstick if you spent $25, which I didn't even know until the girl told me at checkout. Only problem with this is that it's only on Thursdays and they don't have too many locations.
As for the Pink Nation thing, I went into my Victoria's Secret and they looked at me like I was crazy. First the girl at the counter told me I had to spend $35 to get it, but I told her otherwise. Then she told me that they didn't have any. I'm gonna call and complain, and see if they can get me a free return on a bikini, too.
Okay so, I went back today, and they had gotten in the totes and knew what I was talking about. I got a free canvas tote, and it came in three colors. They also gave me back the coupon for 10 dollars off, and said I could come back and use it.
The tote is kind of thin, but it would be awesome to use for a gym bag, or for the beach. Definitely worth it!
The price tag on the bag says 20 dollars, so really, it's a nice deal.
The girls who helped me were also super nice about it.
i went to get it yesterday and got a tote. then i went with my sis for her to get it the day after, and i totally saw a box of bags, and they were like oh the free gift is a lotion. i feel so bad making my sis go only to get a tiny 1 oz sample lotion.
I printed out 3 coupons and my 2 boys and I each got a tote! We will be using them this summer for the beach and to go to the pool! I got the pink one and they each got a lime green one. Very nice and each has the $19.50 price tag on it!
I got my free bag. I printed a coupon for my mom and my niece with their names on it, and the numbers for the bar codes are the same. What I mean is that each coupon doesn't have any number or anything that specifically says that it's yours, except for your name.
Does that mean that I could keep printing out more coupons with my name and use them?
Can little kids get a free bag too?
Does anyone have a picture of the tote?

Thanks Vanessa!
When does the free gift end?? Cause I just printed off my coupon and I wanted to go to get it tomorrow morning!
LENA-
I heard that March 10th was the last day to sign up and get a free bag. You can go get your free bag until March 31 (while supplies last).
Get it as soon as possible.
Is everyones free gift Offer Code: 3770?
I want to know because I'm signing up and printing family members coupons on my computer and they all have the same code.
Is your name on the coupon the only way they know it's you or is it because of your email and phone # too. When I got my first free bag they asked for my email and phone #. I'm asking because I printed 2 other coupons with my name on it, but i signed up with different emails for both. I'm going to get the bags in different malls each time.
Signed up yesterday and was finally able to print the coupon after a couple times of refreshing the page (the coupon loads). Went to VS, they gave me the lotion. At first they didn't know what I was talking about with the free gift at all then I explained it should be a tote. Long story short, I called back the manager after a friend told me she got her tote at another store. They said they didn't have any totes, they never received them. I called VS customer service and they said not all stores received them and you basically have to call before you go. They suggested I reprint the coupon and go to another VS, but call first!
VS alwasy asked for your phone number after you check out. It's a marketing thing, we did it when I worked at Goody's. It lets them know how far people travel to shop in a cetain store. They ask for your email address so they can email you promotions and coupons. It has nothing to do with the coupon. You don't have to give them either if you don't want to, just tell them you already get their email, and you'd rather not give your phone number.
I printed the coupon and took it to my local VS store and got treated like crap!!! The associate was SUPER RUDE and said that because there wasn't a bar code she didn't think she could take it, she did however end up talking to her supervisor over her walkie-talkie and said that I could use it for a free pair of panties. I told her that I thought it was for a tote and she said "well I don't have a barcode so I don't have proof of anything!" So I ended up just leaving without the panties and everything....I was so upset about how I was treated I just had to get this off my chest.
tracy,
All I can say is I hear you on that!!!!!!!!! Some of them are so rude and uneducated about pink nation yet they still think the consumer is always wrong when they should be more well trained about coupons as so forth!
I was also treated very rudely at my local VS, and only got the panties, when I left the store I call the 800 number for VS and got a free tote in the mail.
I'm glad the girls at our VS are friendly. The manager is actually the rude one. I just printed the coupon for a free Aerie panty if you join the A-list, so I hope when I join, I get the tote that someone wrote about. I'm going to go to Hilton Head on Saturday, and hopefully I don't encounter rudeness at their VS when I try to use the coupon there.
I'm sorry that VS treated you guys like that
But when I went to get my gift I just showed them the paper and they said you can choose from any of these colors and they were nice and fast about it
...I got the white one...since that was the only one left haha
I went to the aerie store and they were giving out tote bag with that is yellow with flowers that says aerie on it. I was hoping that I will get the undie even though I am already signed up on the a-list
women be aware the ridgedale center in mn is not a participating location for pink nation if anyone is blogging from mn
it is great, I just love it!!!
I went in yesterday to AE and they asked if I'm on the a list so I signed up and went to aerie and they gave me the underwear not the tote bag! How did you get the tote bag??
