They are really, really stingy with their codes and they never offer free shipping unless you spend a minimum (which isn't difficult to do... ).
They sent me a birthday coupon this year for I think $15. I used it online because it was only good at VB stores, not retailers, and we don't have one around here.
This summer I made a few purchases online and when each was shipped I was given a coupon for $15 off a $75 purchase and free shipping over $60. That was really nice, but I haven't had anything like it again since then.
Thanks! I just signed up for emails a few weeks ago. I'd like to get another purse, but can't justify $70! Guess I'll have to wait for that pattern to go on sale.
