is it weird to be waiting over 12hrs for the sabon gc to show in my email?

I called them they said there website had problems yesterday and they will send me a new gift card #

My orders from today were all good

call them

$10 seems the cheapest.

But you can buy an $11 gift card, and apply the $10 gift card as payment, leaving $1 on your card.

Is anyone else having issues with Sabon saying "do not honor" at checkout? Maybe it's because of ^^

sabon 10 dollar gc are out of stock

For sabon whoever is getting charged tax that's a good thing.

Here's why:

Buy 1 $10 gift card

use that gift card to buy another one

pay the tax with your amex

keep doing for all your amex cards.

You will buying $10 credit for whatever your tax is, plus you will get $1 from them for every one, plus at the end you will only have 1 gift card from them. the rest will be cold hard statement credit

Thanx for the idea! Didn't do mine yet

They restocked once already. Hopefully they'll restock quickly

Wrong. Instead keep buying gift cards worth $1 more (i.e., $11, $12, etc.) Then email Sabon with a list of your order numbers to refund the tax. You'll get the best actual value this way.

That's worse value since you will be spending $1 to get $9 credit

this way your spending $0.89 (in NY) to get $9.11 credit

However you are correct if just buy $10.01 gift card then your only spending $0.01 to get $9.99 credit

[Jm1248]

You can actually just buy $10.01 gift card to achieve that

They sell $10.01 gcs?

[KidOOO]

They sell $10.01 gcs?

You can enter any amount above $10

Might not be worth the hassle...

[Jm1248]

So the best option is to order one $10 gc and then use that and Amex to buy a $10.01 gc & keep repeating that process?

-1

They add the ".00" and you add the first digits.

On sabon i just ordered a $10.05 gift card so check again

[KidOOO]

Might not be worth the hassle...

Besides i wouldn't want to contact them asking for tax refund and then having them cancelling the order for buying a gift card with a gift card

I hear you, but I'd rather spend the extra 11 cents and
1. Get an extra $1 value at Sabon vs. no extra value
2. not run the risk that they will end up going back and refunding tax on their own, leaving me with no charges on my Amex for all my work (this is the real reason)

Evidentally I was wrong

So best method is to order a $10.01 (or $10.05 just to be safe) and keep increasing in $0.01 or $0.05 increments

That way if they refund the tax you still paid something out of pocket
