Saks friends and family

You'd think that being one of their World MasterCard holders would entitle me to a little heads up, but no. So I guess I'll just have to jump right in and fight for my goodies like everyone else!

Saks' F&F started online today, but only starts in-stores on Thursday, Oct 21. 20% off clothes, shoes, and accessories* (note the major, bold-faced asterisk and see the exclusion list below), 15% off jewelry, and 10% off beauty.
