Hello all! As you may already know, due to the craziness that is the world now, a lot of business are closed or have reduced hours, people are losing their minds with water and toilet paper, and the world is pretty much upside down. That being said, all USA based Pandora owned stores are closed until further notice. What does that mean for the March Buy More Save More promotion?
I can only assume that most of us collectors are slowing down our purchases. Most of us may be working from home, and others are struggling because if they are told to stay home and have no way to work remotely from home, this means they are on a very fixed income for the time being. I am thankful that my husband is able to work from home and since he is the main bread winner of our household, it means we will be ok…for now. If you didn’t already know, I am an after school art teacher, which means my hours are already very limited, but with schools closing, I am also not working. So with a heavy heart I will say I think my spending days are over for now, even with the Buy More Save More promo later this month. I would have to see what items I would like and if it’s even worth it for me. The current Spring collection is very good, better than most from recent years, at least in my opinion, but I just want to give everyone the heads up that I most likely will not be showcasing hauls on my YouTube channel at least for now. Or at least they will be slowing down considerably.
You might have already noticed I haven’t had any huge, huge hauls lately, and now with all the stores closing, I think it will make it just a bit harder, since I like to shop the outlets a lot. I think I may be relying more heavily on Rue La La, right now I can’t fathom paying full price for anything, and with the Buy More Save More, the items I pick really need to be on the less pricey side LOL. We will see, I almost always say I won’t do something then I end up doing, I’m a bit flighty that way!
Anyway, I hope you are all doing well, keeping busy, or keeping your kids busy! I hope not too many of you are struggling with financial burdens or overall anxiety of what our world is coming to.
I’m actually still very busy, I keep going to the store because I keep forgetting one thing here and there, and between my mom breaking her wrist and my grandmother breaking her pelvis, there is plenty to do! But let’s get back to the point of this blog post; the Pandora Buy More Save More event.
This year the spending tiers are as follows:
- Spend $150, get 30% off
- Spend $350, get 35% off
- Spend $600, get 40% off
According to my previous blog posts, it’s been awhile since Pandora has done a Buy More Save More, like March of 2018 if I’m correct, but I could be wrong LOL. Seems like the spending tiers are pretty good though, almost comparable to the very first Buy More Save More! I’m sure there will be exclusions like on Harry Potter and the Pandora Me collection, and I’m sure they will be lumping in the new Spring collection as well because that is how Pandora has done it in the past. However because all Pandora owned stores are closed this sale will have to be online right? Not sure what that will mean for Pandora Preferred card holders, usually they get to access the sale a week early, so if you are a PPC holder I would check Pandora online constantly to see if you have early access.
The sale starts March 26th through March 30th which means if you are a PPC holder you should check Pandora.net today to see if you have early access.
Like I said before, I might skip this sale but who knows, we shall see. Does anyone plan on participating? Timing stinks because I usually live for this sale but I just bought makeup and some clothes so I need to tighten the belt for now. Let me know how you are all doing!
Hi!
I’m sorry to hear about your families’ recent orthopedic challenges. And let’s not forget your ankle! And all of that even pales against what we are going through as a country.
I think Buy More Save More will proceed online. And, at least for me, my preferred card is tied to my store. So that method of payment won’t be available to me. That being said, it’s hard to focus on jewelry for me right now. And the 20th Anniversary fiasco has left a really bad taste in my mouth. So I might not participate this time. Or maybe any time. I’m a little disappointed in Pandora as a company right now.
So enough melancholy. I hope your family members are on the mend, and I hope you and yours stay safe.
Thank you so very much, and same to you, please keep yourself and your loved ones safe! Yes I know, this morning there were so many disappointed collectors. They’ve had two months now to fix the problem and they seem completely oblivious to it all. It sucks to because I could really use some retail therapy right about now, just wish I were a millionaire LOL.
I was hoping to see another post with the buy more and save coming up I thought you would, but
with all this craziness who knows anymore. I will be partaking in the sale at one of the lower price points
because I am really enjoying buying from Rue with the prices.
Has anyone purchased Pandora from gilt.com? Rue owns them and items do show up there but are they
an authorized dealer? I called Pandora and the rep didn’t know.
Odd story for you. Earlier this week I was checking the Pandora site for the millionth time to see if
Xmas Stitch was back in stock, it wasn’t but you know what was? The anniversary frog. I put it in my
bag figuring I would never get it and today it was actually delivered (no special paperwork)! I was not going to fully participate in
the anniversary charms only if I liked the charm. So this morning 10 am I am on the site refreshing and refreshing
and darn it when the bee finally showed up online it was sold out! That was the only charm I really wanted – I
would much rather have the original though. Maybe it will show up again. So if I am disappointed I can only imagine
what the longtime collector must be feeling.
Oh, your poor mom & grandma – when it rains it pours!
Here outside of Philly we have been in a
stay at home – social distancing – shutdown – in what seems like forever.
I just did a doctor’s appointment via video – strange.
In this upside down bizarre world I want to thank you for a new post and
thanks to all the other bead lovers for posting on Instagram and Youtube
it is all a much need distraction. 😊
Yes I know hun I’m sorry! I get my main info from one of my local stores, but now that they are closed I think my fountain of information has dried up for now. I’ll be in the dark as well for any upcoming promos.
And yes I know what you mean on Rue, I literally can have 2o items still in my cart and I keep thinking to myself, I thought I had gotten everything I wanted before these items retired, why do I still want these items? LOL It’s never ending I tell you!
I have never heard of gilt, will definitely check them out!
I think it will show up just like the frog did. Pandora likes to make money so I think it will find itself on the website eventually.
Yea it really does lol, I wasn’t fully healed from my ankle (still am not really) when this happened, but thank you for your lovely thoughts! Keep yourself and your loved ones safe as well! I have much more time now (well not really, between helping my mom and grandma, I havent’ had that much time to do much of anything) but I’m trying hard to keep churning out the content I’m afraid with0ut any recent hauls though that my content might dry up soon, so hopefully that won’t happen. Take care! xoxo
Now that the sale has been changed, I won’t be participating.
Saves me money!
I know right? I saw that too. I’m looking at their cheapest items to see if maybe I can afford this sale LOL
Hi Jahndra, I hope your family is doing better and staying healthy.
Just a quick thought… I would love it if you did some old fashioned what’s on my Pandora bracelet videos. I miss hearing you talk about your collection. It’s understandable that the hauls have slowed down. I just returned my last 2 orders 😭 as I realized I just bought because of the sale and not because I REALLY loved the charms.
Stay safe!
Ah yes!! I love it when you guys make suggestions! You know i actually had some what’s on my bracelet topics written down somewhere but I haven’t done them because I was saving the content for a rainy day, guess it’s turned into a rainy week and rainy months as far as we can see…I also wanted to do a how I design a pandora bracelet so, once I can get myself motivated I plan on doing some videos soon, I promise!! I’m sorry the orders didn’t work out for you, I tend to do that as well and I’m left with a ton of impulse buys, but then when I go to sell them off I can’t bring myself to do so LOL, go figure! Take care as well and stay safe!! XOXO
