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.

that was the a-list gift for this month. that is how I got the tote bag. The should be at the cash register when you are ready to check out at the store
I signed up yesterday, and the girl was really nice. She didn't try to get me to buy anything, just let me pick my free panty. she said it's only one Thursday a month that you get the free promo item, but they do have a promo sale for A-listers EVERY Thursday. I guess they email you and let you know when it's "freebie thursday" ???
How do you get on the A-list?
ok now this isnt all true. sign up for pink nation and they will send you a coupon for the"FREE" gift and 10 dollars off a 35 purchase. but the "FREE" gift is not a tote. its not even worth it, its just a little 1 fl oz body lotion creme. its really worthless and cheap, whoever said u get a free tote; then they probably paied for it. (: hi katee
To sign up for the A-list you just go into an Aerie store. You can just ask one of the girls working there (or just wait for one of them to ask you, they usually do) and she'll give you a little card to fill out.
To get the tote there, you have to go in on a Thursday because that's the only day they offer it. Once you get it they'll punch your card so that they know you've picked it up for that month. As for the emails, they sent one out this month, but I'm not sure if they do every month (this is the only month I've gotten it so far).
And Karina, I really reallllllly doubt that every person out there that has gone to Victoria's Secret for their free gift has just bought the tote instead and then gone on to every message board they know and lied about it.
i print my free coupon and $10 off of $35 for the free item ,they give me alot of crap and they give me panties for free , and make my use the $10 off of $35 too to get my free item . suck/ and they are very rude....
If you read the coupon, it says FREE GIFT OF OUR CHOICE, "our" as in the store, it does not say what the gift will be. Some stores gave totes and some gave lotions, and some gave other things, but to think that all these people on here went to the store, paid $19.50 for a thin, see through tote bag and then reported that they got it for free, is ridiculous!
I didn't pay anything!!! I showed them my coupon took me to the register and asked what colors I want and they have some in the back too! I picked the blue one and they put it in a bag and I left! I'm sure everyone who got the tote bag is lying and saying it's free because the BAG IS FREE!! People who got the lotion I'm sorry but it all depends on the store!
Where are the aerie stores? I went on their website but it says american eagle. Or are they both the same?
Does the Aerie section in an american eagle store count? Or is it like just a store for Aerie?
Out of the 3 malls that are close to where i live, 2 of their American Eagle stores have a section for bras, panties, and pj's can i sign up in one of those?
I printed out my coupon and got a VS Free Tote on 34th Street, New York, NY. Loved it. It’s original Value was $19.50, and I got mine absolutely Free. Purchase is not required to redeem the FREE TOTE. Enjoy ladies!
I printed out my coupon numerous time and have been to several victoria's secrets' in MN and have never had to send a single penny to get a tote bag it was absolutely free and yes some stories have substitued for lotions, water bottles and panties and some locations did not participate. They did not make me use the 10 off of 35 coupon they gave it back to me to use it some other time and to be quite honest with you I would never spend $19.50 to buy a thin and chinsy tote bag. Free is fee and in this economy we are all looking to save and get free things or inexpensive things. Why would all us be lying????? karina
You have to go to the actual arie store to sign up for the a-list not the american eagle shop
kk pooja garg cheeeell its just a free tote no need to freak out
I went to the VS store here in Atlanta and had a wonderful experience. They were nice and helpful. I showed them my coupon and picked out my bag. I did not have to spend any money.
sorry you took that way no offense intended just told what happened. Have a great day Karina.
They gave me lotions and panties instead of the tote!!!
First, for those of you having store issues like being forced to pay, etc. call customer service and politely lament 1.800.411.5116
Second, I don't know when it ends, but if you spend $10 in store you get a gift card worth anywhere from $10 to $500, useable starting april 3. probably at participating locations, call and ask before you make a trip. Explain in more detail at http://rapunzalscastle.blogspot.com/
Katherine´s last blog post..Freebies from Victoria's Secret
thanks pooja garg
I was shopping at VS yesterday and another deal that they just came out with a couple of days ago is if you try on a perfect one bra you get a $5 off coupon for anything in the store for the same day that you shop there. I would suggest you call before you go to save a trip, because I am not sure if it is in all stores or just some.
Thanks Pooja garg, I'll have to go in now..again. Yesterday when I went to Aerie, to get the free tote bag, they had a promo when you try on any bra, you get a scratch off, and I won a free bra! I was so excited. They even ordered it for me since they don't carry my size in the store, and it'll be sent to my house for free. My husband think I'm making it up about all the free things I've gotten lately at the mall. lol
Thanks Kate,
BTW you can call me Pooja that is my first name and my last name is garg :)
that is cool I am definately going to aerie tonight and get a scratch off and hopefully I am able to get a discount or a fee item. I did not know how much free stuff you can really get just by opening your eyes to the possible promotions and sites such as deal seeking mom. I have gotten tons of great beauty samples aveda, origins, tank tops, tote bags, socks tons. My boyfriend and I both enjoy saving money and having fun trying different products and giving presents to people as well
I don't know how long the scratch off promo will last, it may have been a "thursday thing", since that's when they do thier promos. But every card was a winner, either $5 off, $10 off, a free panty or free bra! You may want to call first and see before you go. I just saw on Ebay people are selling the free totes from VS and Aerie! And people were bidding on them, the highest I saw with a bid was $5.99, but a few people had a buy it now for $19,50!
I called my aerie store and they are having the scratch off cards :) inregards to the aerie tote bag and vs tote bags I also saw them on ebay selling.
I was able to receive the tote 5 days ago!!
IT'S WORTH $19.50 the representative didn't know what that was until the manager told her I can get one from the front desk.
It's not worth that much but at least it's free.
I went again to VS to get a sec tote for free. I got the white one at first. Now I went back and got a navy blue one!!! ;)
So I thought I'd update on all my VS experiences. I called the VS by me two different times after them treating me like I was crazy and they never had the tote in, supposedly.
Then on my way home for spring break I stopped at another mall and had no problem getting the free gift. The people were really nice about it. Plus, I got a really nice cloth bag rather than the nylon one (they also had the nylon ones for sale). I think it's also kinda funny that the store by my school never had it, but less than an hour away they had plenty of them.
And once I got back home I called up the store near my parents' house and they told me that the free gift offer is only available online. I asked if she was sure, she told me yes and hung up. I ended up calling customer service and I guess she called up the store and harassed them. Turns out they did have the bag. Anyways, when I went in they were all really bitchy about it. I still got it, but it wasn't like the nice one I got earlier.
I'm curious to see what their future gifts are going to be, if the stores will actually have them, and if their associates will have any idea about what's going on. Probably not.
I just wanted to let you guys now that VS has just sent out a new coupon introducing the naturally brand in their store. It is the same coupon as the pink energizing lotion that says exclusive in-store offer free mini body lotion and clearly states no purchase necessary print this email and bring it to any Victoria's Secret. The lotion is hydrating body lotion acai berry and magnolia protects and brightens with acai and magnolia extracts and hydrating shea butter. it is 30 ml/ 1 fl oz It smells so good. You must go get one.
Thanks, Pooja! Looks like you left you comment just as I posted this one. Can't wait to try it!
will they let us get the two free items at once?
Nicole,
I don't think you can get the free bag and lotion at the same time. Go to the register to get your free bag and then go again to get your free lotion. That's what I did when I had my coupon for the free bag and another one for a free panty.
You can get two free items at one time. I have done it numerous times as pink nation is no associated with VS's other promotion or that is what I was told. I have acutally gotten 4 items at the same time
the pink tote bag
the free lip gloss with purchse
hand lotion
also used my 5 dollars off any purchase and bought somethig for exactly 5 dollars and got that for free as well.
No need to waste your time going back again. Go into the store with confidence and know what you are doing and you will be fine. I do it all the time I am known as the coupon lady at my store.
o great! pooja, where did you get the $5 off coupon? Do they still have that?
Hi Nicole,
They have a promotion running in the stores, but I am not sure if it is running anymore because I have not gone to vs for a couple of days but if you try on a perfect one bra they offer you a $5 off your purchase for that day. You can use that on anything in the store and not just that bra. You go to the fitting room and they ask you for yo and they fill out a pink card with your bra size and date and you bring it to the register and they take off the discount. You can essentially get a $5 item for free as it is not on a full priced item. If you do not use it in that specific store you can use it as a different store. I hope that this helps you. I know that one day I went to 5-6 malls in mn and got a free perfume each time.
I went to the VS in the Columbiana Centere mall in Columbia, SC today. ( I do not live in COlumbia, or even SC) and they did not have any of the 1 oz naturally lotions, and the last time I printed a Pink Nation coupon, my name didn't print out on it, so I couldn't get the bag. She said they have gotten strict about the free gift and your name must be on the print out, and match the name on your ID. At my mall (in Augusta, GA), I got 2 bags and nobody asked for my ID, and also in Hilton Head, SC, but that was before the promo was extended. Anyway...you may want to call your VS and see if they have the lotion if that's the only thing you are going in for, b/c the girl said she has no idea when they are going to get it, and that they haven't even been told of that couopn yet, but have had about 30 people come in with it!
I called VS Customer Service and told them that one of the Victoria's Secret Stores think that the Coupon is a fraud so they mailed me the FREE TOTE ;) I got three now! So happy!!
hey guys, what kind of tote bags did they gave you? the nylon or the fabric one? Mine was nylon but my friend got a fabric bag at the store near her place.
Sarasota Gulfgate Florida store won't give us our FREE items. Paige states you must purchase $35.00 to get free tote. She claims the double coupon on the paper that I printed from their website can't be seperated. Whe I asked her to check with someone she stated "no one has the authority to tell me what to do"
We left very disappointed, vow never to go back there!
Victoria's Secret is now on our BLACK list! Called customer service they said they will send a coupon for a free panty. Free panty is NOT a tote bag I can hardly carry that on my shoulder.
It worked in NC, I didn't have any problems at all. I got both the $10 off and the free tote, they didn't ask for my ID or anything. It was great!
I got another FREE PINK NATION TOTE at Willowbrook Mall and the free mini body lotion as well. It was 2.5 ozs <3
I didnt get to pick up my free tote. I saw there is an extension on this offer. I tried to pick it up earlier and was treated very rudely. I called VS customer service and asked if they could mail me my tote. They stated all they could offer was a 30% off coupon. I am going to try another mall and hopefully I will get my free tote.
Hello to you gals out there- I just signed up and went to a mall in Boston.I showed her the coupon and she asked me to pick up any tote worth 19.50$. I scored with a lovely green canvas tote. She did seem a little irritated because I also used the freen pink panty coupon along with it too!
Hi everyone
Just wondering if there is a new gift for May?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone
Is there is new gift for May?
Thank in advance
I haven't heard anything, Emily, but I'll definitely let you know when I do!
I know it's only the first day to use it, but has anybody had any problems with the secret rewards card? I have 3, and this morning, I called the 800 number to check the balance, and 1 of them said 10 cents and the other said invalid card number!!! I didn't even try to see what the third one was b/c I was so aggervated. I talked to a rep, and she said it is 10 cents!!! Then, she said, oh you have to use it to see what the amount is, and I said"so, when I do make a purchase, it should have atleast $10 on it?" and she said "I dont know, is that what the card says on it? She wasn't being smart, she really had no idea what I was talking about. I wanted to know how much I have on each card, so I know what I can buy with out spending too much of my own money when I go in the store. I will be so mad if I go the store and there is only 10 cents on my cards!!
which lotion did they gave out, the 1fl oz lotion or the 2.5 oz one?
Caryl,
They gave me the 1 fl oz Naturally Victoria's Secret lotion and for some reason the cashier gave my mom the 1 fl oz PINK Energizing Body Lotion when she gave her the coupon for the Naturally VS.
I personally don't like the PINK one but the Naturally VS one smells really good.
Girls dont be mad you didnt get a free tote....i got 3 free ones and free panites and lotion. You just have to go to the right store!! the bags were $19.50 reg. price!!!
My VS outlet didn't give me a free tote either : (... When I went in they said I should try another store. Either way I wanted to let everyone know I was able to order a free tote at http://www.myfreetotebag.com . Its not VS but it seemed legit, but I’ll repost to let everyone know when i get it.
