You Earned It | Bargains on Diamonds and Retail Goods

Looking for that special sparkle for your honey for the holidays? Blue Nile offers military members a 10% discount on selected jewelry until 3 p.m. on December 31, 2011. Blue Nile is the largest online retailer of certified diamonds and fine jewelry. Note that when using the Build Your Own Diamond Jewelry™ feature, the offer applies only to the setting for a ring, earring, or pendant. It is not valid for any loose diamonds or pre-set engagement rings, nor for any gift certificate, polishing cloth, or watch purchase, and it cannot be combined with other offers.

To redeem, simply add items to your basket and enter MILCOM11 in the Reference Code box during checkout. With every purchase, you receive free FedEx® and extended holiday returns.

JC Penney, that also offers jewelry, is providing free shipping on orders over $69.00 (use code: SHIP69) or ship to the nearest store at no charge and pick up purchases when it’s convenient (use code: FREESHIP). They offer numerous JCP Cash discounts throughout the holiday season from the same web site as well as short-term coupons to save even more.

Macys offers free shipping through December 12, 2011 on purchases over $99.00 — or a flat-rate of $8.00 shipping if the total is under that amount. No code needed.

Zappos.com doesn’t offer coupons or special military discounts, but read on. They do offer free shipping both ways, a 365 day return policy, the best retail service you will ever experience, and they are a great – and highly unique – place to check for a job after your military service.  They are moving their corporate campus to the former downtown Las Vegas city hall and expanding, so this is a great time to look into their products and services to see if Zappos is a fit for you.
