DEAD? 1800flowers Valentines - $20 off, free shipping, AND 25% BCB *no selling peelies*
 

May be dead, at least for now. Codes are no longer working. Check the wiki for more info.

Cliff notes: $62 worth of flowers and chocolates for $15. Read on.

1800flowers.com has several deals right now, many of which can be combined. First of all, free shipping (~$12 savings) and no fees on any flowers found here:

https://ww12.1800flowers.com/coll...aset=10388

Also, right now there's 25% BCB. Search for "flowers".

To make it even hotter, Walgreens has a $5 box of chocolates with a peelie (on the outside - see below) containing a $20 1800flowers savings pass. Note that this isn't a coupon - it's more like a gift card. So not only does it work for all of their items that "are not available for coupons", it also doesn't invalidate the BCB! Best of all, somehow the BCB is calculated before the savings pass, so you get 25% off of the original price!

Example:
I bought a $40 arrangement. -$20 savings pass = $20. -25% BCB = $10. + $5 for the chocolates = $15.

And the chocolates were half off (originally $10). Total original prices were as follows:

Flowers - $40
Shipping - $12
Chocolate - $10
Total - $62

New total - $15


Some people are reporting that they've found these at other drug/grocery stores. If you don't have a Walgreens near you, you might want to check somewhere else.

Description of the chocolates:
Harry London assorted chocolates - big red, padded, heart-shaped box. At my store, the display box they were in was purple cardboard, with "$20 savings at 1800flowers" (or something similar) printed on it. They were in the same area as most of the valentine's candy.

Removing peelies from boxes that you don't buy IS STEALING, and many stores have begun to treat it as such. Even if you're not caught, it'll come back to you in the end. If you find a box that doesn't have a peelie immediately visible on the ouside of the box, it has been stolen - DO NOT BUY THE BOX EXPECTING TO FIND IT ON THE INSIDE.

mod note. this is not a repost of the drug store deal. do not alert it as such.

THIS DEAL IS DEAD

Delivery Updates

-If your tracking number is valid (UPS has data on it) you will receive your order.
-If your tracking number is not valid (UPS/Fedex pulls invalid data) you will probably NOT receive your order. It could show up but make other arrangements to be safe.
-If your tracking number shows delivery exception your order is delayed due to snowmageddon. Get something for your girl/guy and wait until your order arrives.
-If you opted for local florist delivery get something as a backup that you can return. Don't expect anyone to show up unless you hear otherwise. Better safe than in the doghouse!

If you paid with a credit card be sure to keep an eye on the account to ensure that you are not overcharged. If you are, immediately file a chargeback for unauthorized charges/fraud.
If you paid with PayPal you are in luck and don't need to worry about unauthorized charges. Once the transaction is closed out nothing can change unless a dispute is opened.

1-800-Flowers Updates
1800 Flowers is working to implement a system to get those who actually bought the items new codes. Either a mail in of receipts, UPC, call in not sure yet. This from a high level employee and trusted source.. Please await news!

What are the chocolates that have the peelie?

too bad flowers triple in price around valentines day.

can you buy 5 boxes and get 100 dollars gift card so all you pay is 25 dollars- 25 bing. So you get it free?

i was coming in to see if anyone was actually getting theirs:)
I have some pending for like 3 and 4 more days. Keep rolling in;)

And the BING is rolling in now.. Flowers may be dead , but the BING deal was HOT !!

Got my cashback... even though my order was cancelled.

Got Bing and I've also been getting $20 saving passes.

Everyone should watch Undercover Boss on Sunday. Its about 1-800-flowers. I am sure there will be no talk about the big peelie Fiasco that happened either.

Just got mine too from my canceled order! :bounce:

I know I might be a little late on this or just plain daft but is their any way I can get my peelies (2) with one proof of purchase, I gave one box out and the other one for work and I was able to snag the box at work lol

Mothers day is coming :)

fax it in on 2 separate request...

can anyone link a post or details about the faxing process? Is it limited to one per person?

Here's what I did.... I sent an email using the 'contact us' link on the customer service page of 1800flowers.com. I basically just asked how to redeem the codes. The reply I received was :

Soooo, I faxed a copy of my 6 savings passes along with the 6 UPCs from the boxes. I got a $120 code in my email yesterday.

I just did this, I used the free fax site and just scanned the stuff into a word doc
http://websearch.about.com/od/use...online.htm

pretty cool to be able to send free fax :)

I only had one proof of purchase and two tags so we will see how this works out :/

This was my favorite deal of the year, so far! Here's my totals:

12 orders: 6 delivered and 6 cancelled (all paid in full with peelies)
Got bing cashback on ALL 12 orders = $120
Loot: 1 Birthday Bouquet, 1 Box Truffles, 1 Salame 3-pack, 3 Swarovski collectibles

I haven't even began to try and get valid codes to replace my remaining peelies. Not sure if I will, but heck, they're good until end of the year. :lol:

Does anyone have copies of the UPC codes that they like to share

I would love to try and fax and see what happens

Look at post #3342. There is a UPC for the $20 chocolates there

how long does the fax process take? I sent mine in over 2 weeks ago and have heard NOTHING.

It should only take between 3-5 days to be process. I sent in my pop and got them back within 3 days. My last two pop that I faxed it has been 4 days and counting. I'm going to email them at 7 days and see the status. Goodluck all.

Thanks Kimplovely, I am refaxing them. I asked for an update and was told that I had to wait, that was over a week ago and still nothing. I guess they can get them again from me. :)

So I sent the fax March 24th at 2:03pm CST
Just sent it again (same one) April 12 at 12:08pm CST.
I have 7 savings passes that I have the receipts for still, so I am hopeful to get $140 in savings passes!

AND I am glad I did!! Just got a phone call from them. They sent me an email on March 25th, but it must have went to my spam at yahoo...she just resent the same email. I got it just now! :)

That's awesome crazymama! Enjoy it! I've gotten a couple and placed a few order for baby presents to a bunch of my friends with it also. They were responding really fast last week, now it's taking a lot longer. Not sure if it's additional scrutiny or what ~

Question: For those of you who placed non-flower orders during Valentines day and selected next day shipping, did your orders get cancealed ?

I just placed a large order last night to have tomorrow delivery and was wondering if they have the time to manually put it on hold or the system will just put it through ?

If you place an order now, it will go thru. They were only cancelling the vday orders at the beginning of the fiasco. Any order you place now will be safe.

would you like some :flowers2:

Anyone placed a non-flower order between last monday and today and still not get their order shipped ? I have an order that is supposed to arrive by this coming Friday and its still showing not picked up.

Though the order I placed last night scheduled to arrive tomorrow is picked up.

yes plz :P thanks :P

I placed two orders, they were both deliver, one for yesterday via florist and one today via 1800flower ups. Both my receipent called/email me to let me know they got it. I order it last week.

i'd love some flowers!

Anyone Got replacement codes yesterday or today ? I'm still waiting for mine from the fax I sent in this week.

Does anyone know if I can order online with 2 reward passes ($20 each)?

You mean you can use the gift card codes again? Can you use more than one per order?

YES. All the previous code is deactivated, if you got a new code, they are stackable also.

** As of 4/19 you can no longer stack saving's pass. Place a small order today with my rewards one and it noted that I can only put one in - - - -

Does anyone happen to have a scanned copy of a receipt showing proof of purchase of the boxes with the $20 stickers? I didn't keep mine. I do have the UPC, but they tell me I also need the receipt.

Anyone got codes this week ? I sent in my fax on Monday and nothing. They prob are no longer sending out replacement codes anymore

mine took about 4 days, be patient

We can no longer combine GCs, savings passes or fresh reward passes. They updated their site

If you faxed in last week - you should be recieving your savings pass today! I got mine this morning. fyi ~

So just one pass per order, be it GC, savings pass or fresh reward?

Yep - you can only use one of the saving pass or fresh rewards - anything tht requires a pin - You can only use one of.

Dimensions of the UPC?
 

I got close to $19 back from Bing.

Does anyone have the dimensions of the UPC? I printed the image, but it looks to big.

It the same size as other UPCs that you see on packages.

well, so I had received a savings pass from sending in my receipts. I decided I wanted to use it today...AND, it's not valid. COME ON!
I called, they're looking into it. GRR!

do we have to fax the receipt as well...i started the whole process few weeks back and then got lazy :facepalm: Now can't find the receipt :O I'm just gonna fax the skus and the peelies. Have 6 of them should i do all of them at once. :(

I sent in 8 at the same time. I didnt have my receipts either. I used the scans that were posted here or in the other thread (not sure where Im at right now :lol: ).

I did the same thing you did, had it all ready to go a couple weeks ago and just kept pushing it off to the side. BUT I faxed it all in on Monday and I got my $160 savings pass in my email this morning! Dont procrastinate any longer!! :D

aaaand....Bing Cash Back is 30% :woot:

anyone got a link to the scans? :unsure: i can't find..

will send rep... feel free to PM me

thanks!

Look at post #3342. There is a UPC for the $20 chocolates there

I thought they still allow stacking so I stacked two. Hope they don't cancel my order or I will be mad mad mad since they also cancelled my V-day order.

anyone still getting the passes? i am planning to send mine this week. thanks

ditto that question...I keep forgetting to do these things.

Yes. :) Just send it in, they'll email you a new one within a week ~ if they dont, refax it.

how did you do that?

You can use more than one by calling in the order but then you can't get any cashback. The other option is to use one and put the rest on your credit card. Call the fresh rewards department and they will credit your card.

Thanks so much, jackie1061, just followed your instructions and have new gift codes. Faxed early this morning and they responded via email within a few hours! Woo hoo, more flowers and maybe some bing before that program ends. :lmao:

I assume these also expire on 12/31/10.

In case anyone has small amount left over from multiple cards, you can stack the saving's pass at fannie may chocolate. I used 6 small amount cards to buy some chocolate there~

thank you, finally going to fax it today.

got the pass today, thanks to all of you .

Does anyone know if the replacement passes expire also, or if they are good beyond 12/31, and can you combine these with any coupons?

I was told they expire 12/31/10. I was able to use them with coupons. I just placed an order last week and got 30% twice from bing for the same order!
