    Thanks I signed up!

  2. fran

    Thanks! I signed up since I have a couple gift cards I need to use.

  3. Holly Marie

    Thanks, I’m pretty sure I am already signed up as I shop there on the regular! But I signed up again to make sure. 🙂

    • Karen

      haha me too. Better safe than sorry!

      • karen

        me too!

    • The Mom @ Babes in Hairland

      Just know that sometimes you’ll get several e-mails every day from them … sometimes the same ones even. I just delete them, but they can be rather “spamy” sometimes!

    Poor JC Penny…. they’re trying so hard to stop their downward slide. It’s too bad.

    • Suzy

      I watched an interesting interview on The CBS morning show with the new CEO who is from Apple. I think he is really going to turn this company around– or die trying.

    • Katy

      I agree!!! I thought for sure Ellen could perk them back up… 🙁

      • Kara

        It’s their own fault, they never should’ve switched to that new strategy…people like the idea of “thinking” they got a good deal even if they didn’t. That’s why all those promos, cash backs, sales, and coupons from other stores work. If they hadn’t tried to mess with that a year ago, they wouldn’t be in trouble now! I’m glad they are starting to reintroduce some of that stuff…

        • SMDC

          They were already in trouble… which is why they switched to the new strategy. So the “new” strategy isn’t why they are in a downward slide…

  5. Sharon

    I hope they have BIG news, it seems like they are on a downward spiral!

  6. Tim Fisher

    Any chance you might know a hint of what these big surprises are?! 😀

  7. Heather

    Anyone hear what those “big surprises” might be? Can’t be better than this button magic going on :0) I can’t begin to explain the help all this free stuff has been in preperation for Christmas!

    • Lydia

      How do you get multiple buttons? I only got one when I was in there a week or so ago. Is it one per purchase? One per item? Do you just ask for them??? thanks in advance

      • Ashley

        I went to a few registers and just asked. When I redeemed a certificate, the lady didn’t give me another button. All the registers were pretty busy, so I didn’t bother asking. I’m going to head back sometime this week though. The jewelry counters have them and usually aren’t too busy 🙂

    • Joanna

      same here! I have some family that don’t have much so I’ve been able to spoil their kids this year with cool name brand toys. Most have cost me oop $1-$3!!! These kids are going to be so happy come Christmas!

      • Joanna

        I pick up two at each register every time I go. I’ve gotten about $50 worth of coupons.

        • Jean

          Our JCPenney allows 1 button per family,and if your caught going to another register to get another button they get very angry!

          • Izzy

            Jean: That’s so sad to hear. They have to give the buttons away anyway. In NYC, some of them would give you a hand full. That’s making me like JC penny more. Maybe I will go back to shop after the pomotion (I never go to JC Penny in the past 10 years.)

          • estela

            they used to give 2 but now they are only allowed to give 1

            • april

              I got like 10 buttons from the customer service desk…but so far no winners 🙂 I guess our JCpenney is more liberal on their buttons…I just think they are cute and that is the only reason I want them 🙂

            • darla

              i cant even get one..they are out…maybe should have only taken one and let others receive them?

    • Renee

      I have been GOIN everyday….I go to every register and ask for buttons. Yesterday I ended up with 48 buttons from one store…went to other jcp all together from both stores I had collect 90 buttons not….so with the 90 plus what I had at home I have 122 so THATS enough to last me till Monday.

      • Erin

        What’s the point? You can only enter two per day. You must have a lot of fake email addresses.

  8. Ashley

    Oh, I’m excited now!

  9. Cindy

    I have been getting lots of buttons and must say they have helped me out tremendously this Christmas season. I have been out of work for quite some time now and have appreciated this button promotion very much!! Thanks JCP!!

    • Renee

      I have been doing the buttons and have won about $200 in JCP money. We have used almost all of it already to buy toys, clothes, Keurig Kcups, candy for teacher gifts and more for Christmas. My OOP has been around $30 for $200 of products.This has really helped since I lost my job.

  10. Holly Marie

    KInd of random – but does anybody have a girl they would like a free shirt for? JCPenney shipped me a child shirt instead of the shirt I ordered but I do not want to hassle with the return shipping (they make you pay it) plus I’ve had it now for about a month. It is a size 6/6X top for girls. It is gray with neon yellow stripes and is 3/4 sleeve. It’s super cute, I just don’t have anyone to give it to. Brand new with tags. E-mail me at:holly@brazilanddunn.com and I can mail it over.

    • Lydia

      My daughter just passed this size, but this is awfully nice of you 🙂

    • lisa

      Holly, that would be awesome, my email is jbshhjj @ yahoo And thanks.

      • Holly Marie

        Somebody already e-mailed me, sorry. Thank you.

        • lisa

          Already emailed you. But thanks for offering. 🙂

    • Holly Marie

      Claimed, thank you. 🙂

    • lch2004

      I’m volunteering at our local children’s home and we have several girls that are size 6x if you want to add it to a box from Santa.

      • Holly Marie

        How wonderful of you to volunteer, however a woman already e-mailed me and she was first – so she shall get it. Thank you though! Happy holidays.

    • A

      I would love it if you don’t mind. will email you.

    • Jessica

      I just sent you an email with my info. Thank you so much.

    • lj

      My daughter is 4T. I don’t mind storing it for later, but if someone else has a daughter that can use it now, send it to them. If no one emails you, I’ll take it. 🙂 stevenlisa05@yahoo

      • lj

        Ha ha! In the time it took to type my comment, you already had like 7 comments 🙂 Merry Christmas to all! And may HollyMarie be blessed for her generosity

  11. kelly

    I heard they were going to start putting in stand alone stores and get away from malls…

    • Ashley

      Ugh, I hope not. With 2 toddlers, it is SOOO much easier to go and shop at various stores in the mall instead of getting in and out of the car to go to stand alone stores. I wish my mall had a Kohls!

    • Jean

      They have had a stand a lone JCPenneys in our area for many years.

      • Allison

        Same here in the Houston, TX area!

        • Kelly

          thats awesome. Not here in north Texas.

    • The Mom @ Babes in Hairland

      That’s what we have in Utah.

  12. shawna clark

    Its my daughters size would love have it

  13. Molly

    Wait, what are the buttons ? I haven’t been in JCP all fall ….

    • Beth

      If you go in JcP, go to a cash register and ask them for a button. (They are those little button-style badges and are Christmas-y). On the back of the button is a website and a six digit code. You enter the code online & if you win, you get a prize. Lots of people have been winning gift cards for $5 or $10. Great deal!

    • johan

      I go to all cash register and take button and go to website put the email On the back of the button is a website and a six digit code. You enter the code online & if you win, you get a prize. I won $5 a $10 if you won you receive email and open put your information.

      https://christmas.jcpenney.com/Home/Register

      • Renee

        Seven digit code-the six digit ones won’t work and if you receive one take it back and get a new one.

  14. shawna clark

    Well thanks for letting me know u can get more than 2 buttons. My babies really need clothes and every Christmas has been great but this one has been the hardest.. I missed the angel tree sign up so I hope I can win on buttons. My husband is builder and with all the rain he’s been off some. And Xmas is only week a way but I’m trying figure out. Hope it works I entered four buttons week ago but not any was winner

  15. shawna clark

    Kohls is the best store. I love that more than any store lol. Merry Christmas all.

  16. Molly

    1. Here in Colorado, our JCP is a stand alone store, and
    2. Holly Marie, your offer above is so kind ! I’m sure you will help someone.

  17. Anabanana

    How long does it take for the gift cert to arrive from the Xmas button if we’ve won one?

    • Susan

      mine have come at the 24 hour mark

    • Elizabeth

      Anabanana,
      If you win they will send you an email that says you won then within a day or two they send you an email with a printable gift cert. Hope that helps!

    • Erin

      They say within 48 hours, but I never received my $10 certificate and it is now 72 hours. I checked spam, searched email, but it never came. Emailed today. Bummed because I wanted to hit JCP before school let out for the holidays. 🙁 I just won another $10 certificate today, too. Wonder if I’ll even get it.

      • beanoto4

        I also won a $10 gift certificate on Sunday and still have not received. Wonder what is going on….

        • Clarissa

          Me to, never got it.

        • Tilla Ham

          Sunday there was a glitch, myself and all my friends didn’t receive our 10’s from sunday, i’ve emailed them the proof of winning

      • Alicia

        I had the same problem. I emailed them, and they responded and said that I had $60 worth of gift certificates. They emailed that next day! Email them!

        • Erin

          I emailed. Still no word. And I won another $10 certificate yesterday that I guess I won’t get or have time to use. Disappointed. 🙁

  18. Jean

    Is the surprise only for new subscribers?

  19. Tiff

    So my two cents on JCP..in case you want it:) If you haven’t shopped there lately you should stop by…I hadn’t been in for a while but went after thanksgiving…their fair square prices truly are better than needing a coupon…I have been back four times this season to get the things we need…who wants to shop Kohls where I am forced to use a coupon to get a deal (which liekly isn’t really a deal) when I can shop at JCP and always be sure of getting a good deal…Jeans for a teenage boys at Kohls…with coupon $26 jeans for my teenage boys at JCP without coupon $17.70. Vans hoodie for 12 yrs old boy at JCP $18 no name hoddie at Kohls with coupon $22. I also love the new look and layout of the stores…JCP has actually won me back without coupons.

    • N

      This is very true. I was shocked how good their prices are. People don’t realize. I got a nice pair of pants for my son for Christmas for $6 after I had just spent $16 and felt totally ripped off at target. And targets sweaters were $15 for a 4 yr old. Definitely way cheaper at jcp.

    • Erin

      I agree! The deals at Kohls are only deals if you perpetually shop at Kohls. Plus, we caught them marking up prices in order to lower them. (We were watching prices on certain items.) JCP seems pretty reasonable, and I love the new layout–so much less crowded, messy, and ghetto! They aren’t nearly as crowded anymore, either, which I sure appreciate though it is probably bad for them. . . .

    • shanshan

      Great two cents you offered. I dislike Kohls. I’d like to buy house ware and clothing items when I need them, not when the kohls cash/coupon expires, and it expires fast! When I was at JCP for the buttons, I saw they have very nice winter scarf, hat and mitten, so much more stylish than the ones at Target AND reasonable priced. Now even cheaper with the $5 coupon I’ve been getting from the buttons. I also appreciate the free haircut for kids every Sunday. I hope JCP will survive and do well.

      Another one I like is Macy’s, when they have the $10 off $25 coupon. Certainly helps when you want a little more style/quality. Many times I end up with clearance stuff that’s not only nicer but cheaper elsewhere after coupon.

      • Lydia

        Just a heads up… an unwritten rule at Kohl’s (or, at least at my Kohl’s) is that they will take expired Kohl’s cash, so long as it isn’t too far past the expiration date. One time I had $70 worth that was over a year old, and they honored it! While I don’t recommend waiting quite that long, I do routinely use it several weeks past the stated expiration 🙂

    • Jamie S.

      I love Vans & JCP too 🙂

  20. Heather

    I noticed that the email address it took me to was for pdatapartners.com not jcp. I went to the JCP website and there was nothing on the website about “being the first to know”. On a side note I have received $30 in Holiday Certs from JCP and they have helped. Plus, I really like their style.

  21. Ebony

    I have been entering buttons like crazy and none are winners I think the pot has dried up. My first 4 buttons entered 2 were winners nothing since then and I work next to a jcp so I get buttons daily

  22. Christine

    I was really mad about JC Penny getting rid of coupons and big sale ads but I have been there a lot ovewr hte past couple of months and I find their new prices to be very reasonable especially when stuff goes on clearance. I also really like some of the new lines they have come out with. They are more on trend than they used to be. I went there the other day with DH and he was loving the guys stuff too

  23. susan

    I won 2 $10.00 certificates and got 2 handbags on clearance for 10.00 each and they were free no sales tax either retail value for both 75.00

  24. johan

    hayneedle cancel my order. Other person received this email.com thanks for advanced.

  25. Chel

    I am in the group hoping JCP can really turn themselves around. The last few purchases I have made from them were of horrible quality, so bad I actually returned them (which says a lot because I am normally not a picky person) and have sworn off buying anymore home goods from them again. Their website is also a mess right now. 20-30 minutes on hold each time you call because the personal accounts are not updating themselves with recent orders. Very sad.

  26. Melanie T

    I love the new system, prices are so much more reasonable and lots of items on clearance. For those of you with teenage boys, take a close look at the Arizona skinny jeans…one cut is $10 pair, same with some corduroy pants. The buttons are awesome, be patient…my first 8 were all losers but I’ve won approx $130. Also, for those that don’t know….the gift certificates expire 31 Dec.

  27. darla

    I was just there….cant even get one because they are all out…I love the new JCP…got designer stuff very inexpensive on first and third fridays

  28. adri

    My family n I have gotten over $1000 from JCPENNEY since black friday. We have gotten $375 from gift cards alone. We shop there daily, lol

  29. amy

    My hubby works for JCPenney, so I can’t take advantage of the button promo. Hoping I’ll be able to get in on the new “surprises” Collin mentions! Thanks to those of you who are shopping at JCP….in essence keeping food on our table! 😉

    • adri

      You are welcome lol, DAILY I go there, lol

  30. Andrea

    I really like JCP now. I remember years ago when I got a JCP gift card and I just about threw it in the trash (I didn’t, but I couldn’t find anything I wanted either). Then some time 2 years ago after I had my first baby I needed to find some swimwear for normal size people. I was really surprised to finally find something that fits and being able to choose from a selection.

    Ron Johnson has been with the company for a while now and the results have not really been great per Wall Street, but I think it takes time. From what I heard the revamped stores are supposed to be like little boutiques within the store and then there’s supposed to be a town’s square. Not really sure how this will look. I know only 10% of stores have been revamped so far and I haven’t seen one that was done yet. This is all per CNBC, they chatter about JCP all the time.

    At my JCP they certainly are making some changes. There’s a “bar” in the men’s jeans section with ipads where I guess you could browse some information, but none of the ipads worked so I can’t tell what it should be. I’m curious and I like JCP, but I’m worried about them.

    Look how much we all win, nobody really spends money there. We all just go for the freebies. Not sure they’ll survive, but I want them to. So I bought a pair of jeans full price. Maybe that’s a marketing strategy 🙂

  31. Rhonda

    About a month ago i received a $10 off of any purchase of $10 or more from JC Penney. The new ceo welcomed any input from his loyal customers. i emailed him to thank him for the nice coupon and to say that I really miss all the coupons they used to have. He wrote me back thanking me for my input and gave me another $10 coupon. It seems The new ceo is really trying to make things work.

  32. Julie

    Thanks to those posting about the buttons. I had no idea they were doing that promotion, so I’ve missed it completely. Honestly, I haven’t been since the last time they sent me a $10 off $10 purchase. Without getting a good coupon, I just forget they exist.

  33. Jess

    Ok so where are they promising big things? I dont see that posted anywhere? We are a couple days from christmas and I havent gotten anything in my email. Anyone got more info???? Collin?

  34. edy

    I hadn’t shop at jcpenney in over a year! I went on dec 8th. The cashier after I paid she asked if anyone told me about their buttons! I said no, she gave my daughter 5 and I got 4. So, I asked my other daughter to put them in the website she did and I got 65 which I’m going to give to a friend for her kids. My other child went to jcpenney and got 2 buttons and the other went and got 2 also, some jcpenneys I heard were giving a lot! But, i hope some get up and go get their buttons!

  35. kiya

    Hi there,
    any one willing to trade $ 10 or even $5 jcp certificates for $ 20 sun glass hut ?

  36. Melanie Plummer

    I talked to one of cashiers last week. Martha Stewart products are coming. Macy’s better watch out.

  37. Artemis D.

    Anyone have any gift certs they’re not going to use? they expire tomorrow. If you’re not going to use them, I sure could! The economy has been really hard on my family. Please send me a personal message artemis520 at hotmail dot com. Happy New Year everyone!
