Sorry for the bump but the trade in bonus bag is back! If you have the special bag, you will get another 20% TIV on top of the regular credit TIVs. The cool store manager at the San Jose store told me it's not officially promoted yet but they were given the go ahead to do the bump. They do run out of bags so you should get it sooner rather than later. From his recollection, the offer is good for about a month, through ~7/17.
Just a few notes:
- The SJ store didn't have their bags out yet. I got mine from the Redwood City store today.
- Check TIVs at
www.wherehouse.com. Those will be the cash values. I've only seen a few exceptions when the wherehouse.com value is different from in store. Choosing credit at the store will give you an additional 25% and the bag will add 20% more of the store credit total. All in all, you should get a full 50% more TIV in store credit.
- The bag bonus is a manual input thing. The cashier will need to code in another 20% credit. Make sure you get your bonus before you leave the store.
- The bonus applies to the store credit only. If you choose cash, there is no bonus.
An example:
Stoked 360
www.wherehouse.com "cash" value = $16
25% store credit bump = $4
credit total = $20
20% bag bonus = $4
total store credit = $24
This is how my receipt read from today. Don't believe me, check it out. Been doing this for the last couple summers and this is how it's calculated. Enjoy!
