Is this a JC Penny's reward card system or do you use a JC Penny charge card?

I don't think I shop there enough to do me any good.
You have to register whatever card you use to purchase with, then they track your purchases, once you get 250 points (or spend $250) then you get a $10 GC. The catcher is it has to be in the same month. So you spend $250 in June and you get the $10 cert. which has to used in the month of June. If it were based on yearly spending then it'd be a better program.

If you have a jcpenny card then it automatically gets double points. so if you have one of their cards it is probably worth it even if you only make a big purchase every few months. $10.00 is $10.00.

Yeah, sorry but "as little as $125 a month!" isn't a big draw for me, there's no way I spend that monthly on clothing. I have three girls, and while I haven't shopped in a JCP for years, but clearly I do spend $$$ on clothes....just not on a monthly basis. Back2School, birthdays or Christmas...maybe....though I don't do a lot of clothes for holidays....my kids just all seem to grow right after Christmas....or maybe it's the clearance sales I can't resist that explains the shopping I do every January?

I'm quite certain I could spend $125 there if I wanted to, but monthly? No way. I agree that signing up if you shop there is a worthwhile thing to do since you'll hit $125 from time to time and get a bonus $10. If you spend $125 a month there 11 months out of the year you'll have $110 in GCs to spend in the 12th month.

But it's not going to draw new customers or old ones back. Which is a shame. I totally agree that if they had it as an accumulative thing, say where everytime you hit $125 you got the GC ... well then I'd likely start watching my JCP flyers instead of tossing them or hit JCP when I'm doing mucho shopping.

It's a nice deal for people who spend a good amount there already, but I'm selfish, I want a nice deal for 'anyjoe'.
