JCPenney is Bringing Back Sales in 2013

JCPenney is Bringing Back Sales in 2013

JCPenney is bringing back sales. You may remember, JCP totally ditched sales and coupons (for the most part) and offered “everyday low prices” in hopes of luring more shoppers by pricing a certain fashion at the same price: for example, T-shirts for $5 or Jackets for $25. But this strategy totally didn’t work and sales are down….big time! Once again, JCP plans to add price tags and signs to much of it’s merchandise to clearly show the retail price and sale price. It should be rolling out slowly in the upcoming months. I hope they bring back coupons too. For more details, check out JCPenney Bringing Back Sales!

NEWS: Beware Credit Card Surcharges in 40 States

NEWS: Beware Credit Card Surcharges in 40 States

UPDATE: Target just responded to me saying, “At this time, Target will not assess a surcharge in our stores or on Target.com for any Visa or MasterCard.”

Heads up! If you use a credit card, you gotta listen to this: Starting January 27th, which was yesterday, retail stores in 40 states are now allowed to charge you a credit card fee, up to 4%. So a $200 Camera could set you back another $8 with this new fee. This only applies to credit cards, not debit-cards.

Some of us are lucky though because 10 states prohibit credit card surcharges if you’re making a purchase in any of the following states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas don’t have to worry. So retail stores in every other state could charge you a fee if they choose too.

Stores do have to warn you about this charge before your purchase AND must clearly state the fee on your receipt. Walmart has vowed they WILL NOT be charging this surcharge no matter what state your in, for now, but you still might want to ask. Waiting to hear from other stores. For full details, check out Credit Card Surcharges!
