Yes, the original listed is bogus. The one listed later that only has a semi-annual sale you can only shop at if you receive the e-mail. However, I know some people on here were able to get in with 'common' last names (you had to enter your last name when you clicked the link) & complete the purchase. So if you have a name like Smith, Hansen, or a million others you are fine. If your last name is Schweitzer, odds are you won't get to order through the tru online outlet unless you received the e-mail yourself.
I also like to look at the purses. I am very fussy in how they feel & carry & what zips, pockets, etc., they have. The true online outlet doesn't show the interiors, etc. (at least didn't in the last sale).
We only go when they have 20% or 30% off. The odd thing is, that normally the best deals are on the special promo items inside the door. When they move them to the 50% off area in back, it is then 50% off the tag price. Example: Tag price $289. Special inside the door price (usually when it first comes out) - $119. So when it's one of a few left & hits the 50% off in the back it is actually $145 as it's half off the tag price, vs. the lowest price it has been offered at. However, sometimes there are subsequent markdowns in the bag. Got the beautiful big purple plaid type one that just came out last fall right after Xmas for about $80 net with coupon.
Great return policy too.
