Update --Carters Store in CARLE Place-Rant


This is the response they sent me!!

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for contacting Carter's. We are sorry for the problem you have
experienced. Our frequent shopper card test program has been cancelled and the
cards are no longer valid. If you could send your completed card to us, we will
be happy to send you a $10 gift card to use on a future purchase. Please mail
the card to:

I dont live in LI, but when I am there I usually go to this store since the quality is great for DS's daycare clothes.

I went in with a $10 coupon on Saturday which expires 12/31/2008 and they would NOT accept it---even though I had about $100 I was looking to spend on DS, my nephew and some other kids.

The manager wouldnt budge and I explained that is was terrible PR/customer service to grant me a coupon and NOT accept it!!

I left the clothes there and walked out--Just wrote a letter to corporate--I will see what happens

Anyone experience this there?

I don't get it, what was their reason for not accepting it? Chat Icon

They said they "Were unable to accept them" and "save the card since they may reinstate the program at a later date"

These both make NO sense!!!

That is strange I have never had a problem with them when I shopped there in the past - they have let me use coupons from them and even exchange clothes for the correct size without a receipt on a regular basis.

I would definitely call b/c that doesn't sound right

Yeah, they "discontinued" the program with the coupon. I was told something similar at the one here in Chicago, but they took the coupon from me. That's really bad customer service (what they did to you.) I would buy Carter's clothes elsewhere. BRU here carries most of the same stuff.

Not at that location, but I have even had employees let me use TWO coupons when it says 1 per person....

Re: Carters Store in CARLE Place-Rant

I was livid!! The whole reason I had the coupon was based on the $$ I spent in October-Nov for DS. I accumulated a certain # of points and it equaled a $10 coupon.

I am still waiting for a response--but you are right--I will call also

That's [email protected] shouldn't be allowed to do that. There is also a Carters in The Source not far from there if that helps.

I had this too and my expiration date was 12/2008 - when the lasy looked at it she said I was one of the lucky ones - the 2008 was a misprint and should have been Dec. 2007. She let me use mine no problem. It was a mistake on Carters end so - that is not your problem, they should have let you use that coupon. I would have been pi$$ed too and walked out.

I DESPISE the Carle Place Carters. Everytime I go there I get into a fight with one of the workers. They are the worst.

I'm glad you got a good response from them. I would go use the GC and never shop at that store again though. Chat Icon I hold grudges about stuff like that.
