I think all will accept coupons from your phone. They're supposedly going to be strictly enforcing "one coupon per customer" unlike other times when they'd accept multiple coupons on multiple transactions. The best bet, if you plan on going August 4th, is to take someone with you as stated above so you can both check out with coupons. If you buy online and group things correctly, you can use the $10 off coupon several times. Shipping is $5 but if you have three transactions, you're still saving $15, better than using one coupon in one transaction at the store. And you don't have to drive and go to the icky mall! LOL

Shopping in store is awfully fun though, and they're giving away prizes every hour. I'm not sure what I want to do!

Take a few friends or family with you and split up your purchase. Last year I went with my mom & dad and we each went to the register with two or three pieces and a $10 off $25 coupon, so all together we got $30 off. I don't know about all stores, but my store will accept the coupon even if you have it on your phone (they can still scan the barcode from your screen), so you don't need several printed coupons if you have a phone w internet access.

Good idea!!

I was going to drive to our 'local' YC store for this- it's 73 miles each way. I called and asked about the coupons they will be taking...they told me one per customer per purchase, and corporate was giving them strict instructions on coupon use.

I realize each store is different, but I have seen on the YC fb pages that many stores are no longer allowing customers to use multiple coupons the way the used to. Many people are angry, but I am an internet shopper and never can use more than one coupon per purchase anyway. At least shipping is free online if you spend over $100- but, then you can't pick out the best Boneys of the lot.

Hi! New here...been lurking for a while! First off, I'd like to shout THANK YOU to Hilda for the catalog and say how excited I am about the preview party! Secondly and down to business...am I missing something or has anyone else noticed there is no new couple piece? The couple toasting each other is not the bride and groom...she's wearing a black dress and black hat, not a bridal gown. The other piece is a reunion piece. Could there be a surprise waiting for us??? Or are they just not doing anything with them this year? or did I miss the boat? Excited to be here!

I really hope that's not true this year! Last year was awesome. At my store, I was able to use all my coupons in one transaction. I could live if they make us separate them into separate transactions, but this one coupon per person stuff would be utter crap. I don't see why that should be an issue, you know? Hell, I'll pay cash if they're worried about corporate noticing repeat credit card transactions from the same customer lol. I only have my husband to bring, so my help is limited. For the amount of money we all spend in this recession, they should be grateful we're coming out to drop this kind of money. Letting us use multiple coupons is the least they can do. I mean, let's be honest, they clearly price their items high because they know about the coupons, you know? They're still making mad profit. Ugh. I guess we'll see. Rant finished lol.

I don't know if I should say anything but I heard some disappointing news regarding the cat.
I heard from a reliable source that the cat will not be available in stores on time for next weekend and will not be available to order online. It looks like the cat will be shipped a week later. I hope my source was wrong but if true there will be a lot of disappointed people.

 

[samhainschimera]

Confirmed from YC- one coupon per person. With the number of people buying tons of stuff you'd think they'd give a percentage off coupon for fall.

Oh man, that would be really disappointing. If this is true, I wonder why the delay? I guess really it's not too big a deal for me, our YC is pretty close by and I work right down the street from the mall so it's not out of the way to have to make multiple trips.

It would be nice if they did a tiered coupon, especially when they release the new lines, like $10 off $25, $15 off $50, $25 off $75, etc, if they aren't going allow the multiple coupons.

They used to have a $15 off $45 but I haven't seen one in a long time it seems like =/

As in not available online at all? That would be sad =(

I suppose there is still time for Yankee Candle to announce a new coupon, or some sort of deal you get when you buy Boney Bunch. But probably not, unfortunately.

 

[cruella]

Hmmm, guess no one wants to talk to me. Not a very friendly group. Whatever.....

Welcome, Cruella. We are very lucky to have Hilda's Boney information, aren't we? I was dying to death without knowing any Boney info. Earlier years, Yankee put out teaser videos with sneak peeks.

Please stick around and enjoy the forum. Lots of great info and nice people!

From what I heard it will not be available at launch at all. It will be available online and in stores once the shipment comes in. I really hope it isn't true.

Reminds me of the Merry Moose line from Christmas 2010, It was in the catalogs and even on the website though they were immediately marked as sold out, and later the page said that they were holding them back for quality assurance purposes, and then they just disappeared. My husband and I were wondering what could've been so bad that they had to shelve (and destroy?) a whole line. We think maybe they were painted with radioactive paint or something lol.
Hopefully the cat line doesn't meet the same fate.

This would be the best way for YC to handle coupons. Depending upon how much you spend, they could offer 25%-35% off. Many stores utilize the percentage off coupons ( Kohls being a great example ) and it works wonderfully. The only downside is they would probably never offer more than 30% and that is not as good a deal as the save $10 when you spend $25.00 ( when those coupons were used for multiple separate transactions ). For me, I am dragging my husband along so we can use at least two coupons that day. I I probably will buy a few things online as well. In the past I have never used more than one coupon at a time. Some stores have been strict about this policy for years but just as many were very liberal and allowed it. So, sadly they know are going to make it a strict policy moving forward for all

OH NO ... I was really looking forward to the kitty. I wanted one for myself and one for my teenage niece. She was my Boney Bunch partner last year and went to numerous stores with me looking for a Bonesy. We did finally find him and both were able to get one. She won't be able to come with me next week as she has been in the hospital and will be having surgery soon. I wanted to surprise her with the kitty ... drats LOL I hope this isn't true !!!

Welcome cruella! The good news about the bride and groom pieces is that so many of the older ones are available this year: the proposal, the car, and the cake. I have all of the bride and groom pieces except for one 2009 piece. There are so many now... (It's still possible to back collect a few at a reasonable price, though after this year, I think they'll begin to increase in value; one of my favorites is the motorcycle!). I'm looking forward to more Boney women and children dressed in vintage clothes. The toasting couple and the baby is a start...

Do you have many of the Bride and Groom pieces? Which pieces are your favorites this year? Do you have your list together yet?!
